I have a problem with BMI

I am at a very comfortable weight having had RNY GB surgery. According to BMI, however, am still "overweight". I can fit into clothes that make me look like a freaking bean pole, so I seriously have ZERO faith in this so-called "BMI" phenomena.

BMI is a very poor standard for measuring yourself, and I discourage people from doing so. I too am overweight by BMI standards, however I'm very lean and muscular. Body fat percentage is much better, especially if you can find a hydro dunk tank.
