I've figured out that BMI is just a height and weight ratio. It doesn't indicate what is really fat and what's muscle.
If you go to a gym, I recommend getting your measurements done. Then you can find out what % of your weight is really fat.
  • Underweight = <18.5
  • Normal weight = 18.5-24.9 (goal here 145 weight--150 for weight watchers)  150 = 25 bmi
  • Overweight = 25-29.9
  • Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
