There things are terribly inaccurate (you have to invoke Archimedes to be closer) but at BMI 25, I'm just on the borderline of being overweight. But lower than 77% of the fat old bastards in my age range.
Which is probably not far off, really.

Ah BMI! A totally useless statistic that doesn't take build into account
Also, I'm a total pie shop from Croatia apparently @ 28

28 BMI for me.
The BMI system is an old old method of body fat measuring from like the 20's (ish). When I was 12% body fat my BMI was 24.5 which is borderline overweight ?!?
Rugby players are all obese according to this system.

Im obese apparently. Always have been. But im not. Its a Clubbing Eddy system. Not even worth a Clubbing Eddy mind you.
