I have to agree with Knny on this one.

The same machine (Tanita) has me at 15.1%. Before any of you trainers ask, (LOL) it was set for athletic build.

CQ is the only one who's seen a more recent pic than my avatar. If I'm really 15.1%, there are a lot of really fat people out there. Can't really use the standard "off season" excuse, LOL! But at 6'2", 202lbs I really don't feel obese, even though the BMI is about 25.5.
BMI is only an indication and only good for sedentary people.
At my physical at work last year according to my BMI I was 9 kgs over weight even though I had visible abs.(which I then showed the doc who told me  :D )
While other skinny guys with beer bellies where told they are "just fine"  ::)
