(however, i think if BMI says you are 'obese' and you aren't muscle bound, making excuses for it is exactly that - an excuse.) - Andie Apr 3, 06:57 2
- obese (30+) yeah. Overweight (25+) is an issue area though -- nm - ty97 Apr 3, 07:02 1
  - oh there are issues. but i think a lot of out of shape people with higher BMIs use the questions to justify their weight when they shouldn't. - Andie Apr 3, 07:05
