It's fun sure, but BMI is also complete horse poop & takes no account of body habitus.

I have a BMI of 29 - which makes me technically fat, borderline obese. So why then do I have a body fat index of 11% and a 32" waist ?

A couple of years back during an assessment for a minor op, a nurse took my height and weight and, without looking up, recommended that I "lose weight". I lifted up my tee-shirt and asked her "where from"? :)

I am 25bmi and most probably from Fiji.

I have to admit its basically of load a crap and similar to most of the rubbish that gets mentioned in this day and age, I liked it in the past when you could eat what you want and when you want and nobody gave a monkeys and we didn't live in a world so obsessed with statistics and the way people live their lives.
