And outdated! Honestly!The BMI index doctors use is a little misleading.
In all seriousness, according to the antiquated BMI that doctors continue to use today, I should be at about 175 for somebody my height and age . . . but that's just it; the outdated BMI only takes height and age into consideration, and nothing else. Not that I wouldn't love to get down to that target, but for me, it's unrealistic: not because I'm too far gone, but because there are other factors at play, such as the fact that my genes come from some historically burly, husky, and big-boned people like Scots and Cherokee; with my natural bone structure and build, there's no way I could ever get down to 175 (and if I did, I'd probably look like a sickly Johnny Bravo), so taking that into consideration, the doctors I've had over the years have settled on a more reasonable 210 target weight goal for me.
