It's increasingly being accepted that the BMI approach used for the most part to categorize an individual's weight is antiquated as it does not take into account body style, weight from muscle vs fat, etc. I do agree this nation is trending towards being overweight/obese at a scary rate but I suspect the percentages of the analysis in the original post are skewed. According to this approach, I'm borderline overweight/obese and if you saw me in person, you would think the opposite.
Weight Watchers makes a fortune off this....
Put the game consoles away and play real games. The outdoor type games.
Yea, BMI is bull in that regard.lol, that chart says 135lbs is a health weight for someone 5'11. In 2000, I was 5'11 155lbs (almost zero body fat) and you could almost slip me under a door. I mean I was rail thin. There is no way 135lbs for someone 5'11 is health. That's 20lbs less than I was at the time. That has to be someone completely malnourished.
Currently I'm 5'11 203lbs. (as of this morning) It also says I'm borderline obese. (it actually goes up to 210lbs for my height before being obese) I'm definitely not ripped with 1% body fat, but I'm definitely not obese either. I still pick up all the hot chicks.

I'm 6'0" and 155 right now, and I wouldn't describe myself as rail thin. Now in college, when I was 6'0" and 125, that was rail thin.lol, that chart says 135lbs is a health weight for someone 5'11.
