Whats your BMI?
Nursie has just told me that mine is 38 and she says it's bad 
Height and weight taken .... no account made for the 10 stone of pure masculine honed muscle
She says I should be about 12 Stone!! Yeah Right!!! Last time I was 12 stone the Second WW had just kicked off!!
12 Stone
They are going to work out a 'program' for me -

What sort of nurse do you use then pete? Pretty much most the medical profession disregard the now discreditied BMI. It's a poor measurement as it doesn't account for muscular structure, build etc.
Picture some athletes, body builders with very little fat on them at all. Now, many of them are overweight according to BMI
However, in your case, yes you're an obese illustration of the lack of fitness people in this country are

Mine's 28.4 which means I'm 'overweight'.
I train 6 times per week and have for the past 16 yrs! No lard on me at all.
I'd have to lose nearly 2 stone to be of normal weight which would mean I was in the latter stages of having HIV

BMI is a total crock for indicating how fat/overweight people are. There was a story I read after England had won the last Rugby World Cup and Johnny Wilkinson's BMI ws in the obese catagory (or overweight at least). I think you'll agree that that isn't the case .....
The only indication you need is the rolls of fat under your shirt/trousers. If you have them you need to lose them .... end of ...
The old, 'eat less, move around more' story.

There's a new preferred measurement now being commonly used to replace the BMI scale exactly for the fat vs muscle reason...
Your waist measurement/hip measurement can detect if your going to have a heart attack
Waist to hip ratio better heart attack risk predictor than BMI - BUPA health news
