Answer 1

Well, it's not great, but the BMI is bullshit. Technically by the BMI, Michael Jordan is overweight and Russell Crowe is obese.  

Answer 2

kind of. your overweight.

Answer 3

You are overweight!  

Answer 4

it depends on how you found out the BMI.  if you went to a clinic and did the immersion thing, it's an accurate number.  if you typed numbers into the computer at a site that calculates BMI, it might be all wrong.  they don't take into consideration bone structure or breast size or muscle mass or other things that can affect the number.

Answer 5

I would say its not too bad but still overweight...

but you're still young and exercise and a good diet should change it :-)

If you have a BMI of:

Under 18 – you are very underweight and possibly malnourished.

Under 20 – you are underweight and could afford to gain a little weight.

20 to 25 – you have a healthy weight range for young and middle-aged adults.

26 to 30 – you are overweight.

Over 30 – you are obese.

at lease ur not obese....
