Wow, can this be right about my bmi?

im 5'7 and 205, and pants from express/gap/ect 9/10, and shirts m-L, sparkpeople.com is saying my bmi is 32.2, and im obese?????????? i thought i was just chubby, i know i have alot of muscle, even at 150 lbs i was a size 3, and 150! people say i look 160-180 now, and im more than that, can this bmi be right??? if so wouldnt being obses considered me for lap band surgery??????????? this doesnt seem right, im 9/10 in pants.. i thought i was just chubby..not obese..

You know what they did? They went and changed the rules. NOW they say "obese" when they wouldn't say it before. Before, you wouldn't be considered "obese" but now you are.
The "experts" don't always get it right, imo.

Size 9-10 I think is pretty skinny.
When I weighed 138, I wore a size 9-10. And I was so thin you could see my ribs, then.
And I'm only a couple inches taller than you.

You lost 10 lbs. That's really good. It may not seem like much, til you pick up a ten pound bag of flour or something. It's a lot!

"obese" is just a word. Don't let it upset you. You've been losing weight, so just keep doing what you have been doing (as long as it's healthy). You'll be down to your goal weight in no time.
