- jiofih 7y agoIndeed, it’s pretty much overweight.
- mr_toad 7y agoOnly slightly from a medical standpoint, and a fair way from being obese.

- grizzles 7y agoYeah BMI doesn't always work. Sometimes you can get short people who are carrying lots of muscle and their BMI is off. I know a guy like this, he's never juiced a day in his life and is ripped as hell but his BMI says he is obese, which is laughable if you look at him.
- Avi0n 7y agoBMI doesn't work for people who workout. But it does work for the average person since the vast majority of people do not work out.
- cocomittens 7y agoI am 161(.5) cm and range between 110-115 lb (50-52kg) and I am perfectly healthy...? By bmi and by several doctors opinions. Or do you mean 62kg is too heavy? I think it's the upper end of normal.
