BMI or weight

hey everyone

I am wondering how people feel about the BMI or weight charts. I am within normal range, but I feel better when I am a little lower.

I guess I am curious what others would say for someone who is 5'3, and small boned?

Thanks!

Body fat percentage is more important than BMI.

Agree with NGU. BMI does not take into account very muscular and healthy people with low body fat percentages.

The waist to height ratio has made BMI obsolete. [nutritionfacts.org] Make sure your waist is less than 1/2 your height and you will be fine. Mine isn't... yet.

Sorry, I was in a rush when I typed. My waist is less than half my height.
