I am under 25. Are you?

Nah, I am not talking about age... I am talking about The Body Mass Index (BMI).
My current BMI is 24.62. To find out yours, do the following calculus: Weight/Height2

These are the BMI categories:
  • Underweight = <18.5
  • Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
  • Overweight = 25-29.9
  • Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
So, according to these categories, I have a normal BMI. What about you?
It is obvious that if you are a body builder/weightlifter you are heavier than a normal person, so your BMI will be > 25. However this extra weight you have is muscle, not a big flab!
