That could be interesting.  I'm 178, which is right around the middle of the "overweight" range for me. And yet, I am as fit as I've ever been, ride my bike to and from work, can handle numerous flights of stairs without a problem, and feel fabulous.  I don't really feel "overweight" these days.

I think that is one of the reasons BMI is not really taken serious any more. Healthe Canada still uses it as a benchmark for surgery but realistically it does not measure a persons health
