Truthfully I normally could care less about how I would be catagorized. For some reason it was important for me that day. The whole BMI thing just really reminded me of of a situation I encountered in my young and thin days. I was in Air Force ROTC, and they always labeled me as "overweight". I was 5'11" and weighed 180 lbs. The only problem was I was an avid weightlifter, I could bench press 330 lbs. I could max the Air Force physical fitness test. The most amazing thing is they actually gave me a physical fitness award, yet I still had mandetory weigh ins and counseling to try to slim down???
Truthfully my body fat % is still way too high, but its coming down and thats what matters.
And yes, I too was considered morbidly obese before I started
