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!

Georg

I am also concerned, being big boned my bmi is 37 at my last check. But my weakness is hamburgers :E

Mine is 42, but that's alright, coz I'm tall.

Personally, beer is my favourite breakfast. With extra cream...
