I'm 20.2, yey me.

In the OK category but still feel a bit overweight.

I've got a bit of a gut. I do eat junk food, but I put a lot of it down to being sat at the computer/console for a significant amount of time. I have a high metabolism, and junk food doesn't really make me gain weight. For example, a few months ago, I was on a course and ate McDonalds every lunchtime for 2 weeks. I actually lost half a stone.
If I worked out regularly and had a toned/noticably muscular physique, I doubt I'd lose more than 2 stone. That would still give me a BMI of 27 and put me in the 'overweight' category.

That's what I was thinking. I'm just over 6 feet tall and weigh about 12 and a half stone but a lot of it really is muscle. You really wouldn't be able to tell I weigh that much from just looking at me because I'm not particularly fat.
Measuring body mass is the idea of it I know, but it's trying to give you an idea of the kind of shape you're in. How's it supposed to know that when it doesn't know if the mass is muscle, fat, bone, water or whatever else?
It most definitely is crap.

To me, there are three stages: Overweight, Fat and Obese.
My index was 30.5, which according to that site makes me obese. I am, in all honesty, overweight. Nothing more. No-one would call me "fat", and I'm certainly not obese. I'm 6ft 3in and my weight goes up and down between 16st 6lb and 17st. I walk, cycle and play tennis regularly, and have no health problems.
However, at the risk of sounding like Eric Cartman, I am big boned. My wrists, for example, are eight inches around. I am the proverbial 'brick sh!thouse' - strong, but not particularly muscular.
