Shaquille O'Neal: 7'1" 325 lbs
BMI = 30.1 = obese

George W Bush: 6'0" 190 lbs
BMI = 25.8 = overwieght

Me: 5'7" 190 lbs
BMI = 30.5 = obese

Right...

So, I know for fact that I'm a bit pudgy...but if I lost as much weight as I could imagine losing...30 pounds, leaving me at 160, my muscle-mass pushes me into the "overweight" category.

These things never, NEVER take muscle mass into account. And that's how the CDC has defined obesity for at least the last five years.

But, at least I'm only as obese as Shaq.
