I don't put a lot of stock into the BMI scale. When I got out of basic training/AIT I weighed in at 191 after 3 1/2months in Alabama. The docs couldn't "pinch an inch" on my body. (now at 235#s that is a different story) At 6' the chart calls for me to weigh 160 to 170#s. LOL Never gonna happen

I am still of the belief that life insurance companies used to use. If your waist is bigger than your chest then you have a problem.
