BMI Categories:
Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
Its not bad. It basically just means your overweight.

eh you're slightly overweight. i think it's 19-25 is normal weight...18 and less is anorexic size...25.1-29 is overweight and 29+ is obese. if you're 5'6'' a good weight would probably be around 140-150. hope this helps!
no your bmi is not bad but i would try to lose a pound or 2
it depends those things never really work because they base it off of weight and hieght ratios.........not accurate you should go to the doctor and get a body fat percentage test then if thats really high maybe worry
thats concidered overweight
