Am I really "obese" ?!


Question: Am I really "obese" !?
The doctor tells me that I weigh 265 and that is "obese" for a 33 year old male that is 6'2" tall!.

I would agree that I am overweight, but obese seems a little extreme!. He says I need to weigh 190, I think I feel best around 220 (although it's been a couple years)

In the picture, I weigh 260-265!. Overweight, yes, obese !?!? You tell me!.

you dont seen obese but then again, we cant see the tummywhere you holdmost of your weight, good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

get your body fat tested!. MD's use the BMI as the don't want to offend their customers by telling them how much fat they have, it's easier for them to say you have too much body mass!. body fat analysis tells you everything the BMI does and more!. for optimum health you want to have a body fat % in the mid teens at your age!.

i'm 6'0 and 250 the BMI scale puts me at obese but I have 9% body fat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no, you are definitely not obese!.
i think that is a little extreme to say such a thing myself!.
but why does it matter!? if you are overweight, you are overweight!. just be healthy and exersise and eat right!. take care of your body to the best ability!. why sit pondering the line between obesity and just being "overweight!." i think the one thing in your best interest to do is to become healthy, if your normal, overweight, obese, skinny, whatever!.

Impossible to tell with your clothes on lol!.

It all depends on the body fat percentage!. For a male, up to 21% body fat is healthy, 22%-24% is overfat and 25% plus is obese!.

So I would try to get that checked out so you know whether you are normal, overweight or obese!.

Hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
