A member asked:
I am male. age 45. 6ft 2 inches and weigh 208 lbs. what should be my ideal goal weight? at current weight my bmi is 26.8.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BMI: The upper limit of the BMI range is 25 but 26.8 is not far above this. When BMI was determined were you fully clothed, wearing boots, etc. If you have bathroom scales at home you might want to compare your results with that at the doctor's office. At home you won't need to worry about clothing.
