As I said, BMI says I'm overweight.

I can manpack my own bodyweight for a couple miles, without undue distress. I can walk... basically indefinitely, with a reasonable amount of load (roughly 25% of my bodyweight).

I just hope I get a doctor over here who's got more sense than to slavishly follow a chart that assumes you're built like a supermodel - especially given that there are studies showing that being in the "overweight" band of the BMI chart results in *better health*.
