Problem is BMI is not the only way to look at size. To get and more accurate and healthy idea you should take into account weight, waist measurment, and BMI. A person could have a high BMI and just have more muscle or a low BMI but have very little muscle tone.
According to BMI a "normal range" is 18.5-24.9. To fall just barely inside of this range I would have to weight 168lbs. For my height and bone structure I don't think this will ever happen. I'm aiming for 170-175 but in that range I would still be considered overweight. At least I no longer fall into the "obese" category!
