The BMI is notoriously inaccurate.

Yeah, a lot of athletes will be fat

I think it's quite easy to determine, unless you have these too kind thinking.

They make no account for pregnancy because they are telling me I am overweight!

I was always in realm before even though I don't really care for strenuous exercise.

BMI is notoriously inaccurate, really? It's very well known that is shouldn't be used for serious athletes because muscle is denser than fat - but it's pretty easy to decide whether you're a fit athlete or a porker, doncha think? It's a simple measure which obviously shouldn't be the be all and end all of deciding how fit/fat you are but it's a reasonable guide for most of us. Fact is that people are eating worse, exercising less and are getting fatter - I see many, many overweight people every day - it's a serious problem, hiding behind 'media ideals of size' and other such nonsense doesn't help.

TAP's right.  While BMI is not a perfect determinant of obesity, for the vast majority of people it's spot-on.  It's a wake-up call a lot of folks don't want to address.  Old, bad habits die hard.
