While people can argue that BMI doesn't always get it right, I would like to think those on here who measure up as 'obese' could tell if they were fit like a footballer/movie star or suffering from abdominal enlargement...
It works perfectly for self identification of obesity, and you'll find some people who only lift weights, weigh a lot and are obese on BMI also have very little cardiovascular fitness anyway, and are also at risk of being unhealthy too.
I agree. BMI is but one measure of fitness/fatness and health risks.
