I assure you, 10 out of 10 people would say I look skinny, and none would say I look overweight, although if I were a 25, I'd be overweight.
WTF?

I think we've established the BMI scale thing is a pretty terrible guide aside from determining which color is prettiest. There are too many other variables to take into account to make it accurate. However, its pretty much the best we can do short of making individual tables for each person.
