        I agree with you that it is a guideline but, by Classic_Jon 2008-07-29 15:07:15
too many people, and doctors, use it like it was an iron clad rule that ALL people 6' 3" should weigh 190 to 200lbs or you are ZOMG obese and need to loose 30 lbs.

I went to a doctor one time that told me that I was morbidly obese because I was at 240lbs and the BMI said I should be 190. I never went back to him....
Went to another doctor that ran all kinds of checks and AFTER the tests he said I probably should be in the 210 to 200 range with my build and bone structure. He said that my cholesterol was a bit high and that if I lost weight it would go down.
