I agree with that completely...and that's a real shame considering an athletic 185 pound person is likely in better shape and better health than a 185 pound person that doesn't exercise.

That is true. My doctor told me these standards and was like "are you crazy"
I also had a phone conversation with a nurtitionist/fitness instructor before I joined my gym and I told him what I weighed and my height and he told me that according to standards I was overweight. I was like "ok but I think you will change you mind when you see me" he has since then thrown out his chart.

Again I agree. Im not in the greatest shape ever but I do workout I just have a few extra pounds here and there (keeps me warm in the winter). But at 253 Im by no mean over weight people will actually call me a lier when I tell them my weight.

All weight is underside
Agreed
I am bit over 6Ā1Ā and happy between 220 and 230, never below 200 (in fighting shape). I was once applying for a State Police Test (many years ago) and they told me I needed to be 170. At 170 I would have no energy and look like a famine victim.
I'm going to give bed a shot. So, I'll chat with you all later tonight. If no luck in falling asleep, "I'll be back!"

Later on Hand Sword
you probably would look like a famine victim. I was 6'1 and 220 when I was 14yrs old and built like a DB. My doctor was telling my I needed to loose weight or I could become unhealthy. Shows how much he knows.

The problem is they go by a standard weight chart which I certainly do not feel applies in all cases. If they do there are a lot of professional athletes that are over weight.

Yep, I am just over the obese line. Who knew that you could be obese with a 34" waist.

I remember when this new chart came out and my wife (the doc) commented that just about everyone will be defined obese now.
Really I think they were hoping to shock American's into watching their weight more.

Absolutely they do not take that into account.

Doctors should know better too. It's not pounds that people should be concerned with, it's their percentage of body fat.
