So what ... So is the rest of the US population. My ex is 5'10' tall and was considered overweight at 140lbs. Her "Ideal Weight" by government standards is 125lbs. She got to 125lbs for a while and still had 38" hips , 36" tits and looked like starvation victim with ribs and hipbones sticking out.
I recall reading on the back of a Hooters saniwash packet that 57% of statistics are made up. For that reason, I don't think OP's claim carries much weight......
@sclvr5005: the BMI really, really, really IS BS. Why? It was established by a mathematician from Belgum to measure populations not individuals. In the 90's, the number that deemed a person overweight was around 27 or 28 (don't really remember), but it was changed to the current 25 by pressure from lobbyist groups like Weight Watchers. In other words; the real number of overweight people is less than what the CDC claims. Last but not least: the BMI doesn't differenciate bone mass nor muscle mass, and those two things can make a lean, healthy person appear heavier on a scale.
70% of dancers are overweight too. Go to night clubs and you will a third of the men and women are over 400 pounds. Why can't the 400 pounders just date each other.

A woman at 5'10" and only 140 lbs is FAR from overweight.
