Body Mass Index

Hi there everyone,

I've recently done a BMI calculation on the internet and found that I have a BMI of 30. As you may know 30 is a high BMI especially for such a small lad like myself (5" 7/8ish). I will admit I have some slight 'extra baggage' shall we say but not so much that I would class myself overweight or anyone else for that matter. Alot of my weight is muscle as I train for sports and cycling several times a weak (resulting in larger than normal legs! lol)

What I wanted to know is where do the airlines/colleges etc stand on BMI. Is it worth me losing that extra weight? Will the airlines look at BMI only or personal shape?

All help appreciated cheers guys!
