My point is that my BMI of 24.5 is borderline high and that is ridiculous you yourself admit that you do more exercise than 95%+ of people, there are definitely people for whom BMI is flawed/wrong, but if you generally said it is healthier to have a BMI in the healthy weight range, that would also be true for the overwhelming majority of people. <cite>fuming posted [p:954190752] in The averag...
