So many people think they will look too thin at normal weight because being overweight is so normal that we have forgotten what normal weight should look like.

I'm going to be happy to get to overweight status. Anything under 210 on my frame will make me look like a cancer patient. BMI is crap and I've said that for a long time.

I just wanna be "Overweight" and no longer obese. At least now I'm no longer "Morbidly Obese." Those charts are often extreme.
This is the results
or the information you entered:
Height: 6 feet, 2 inches
Weight: 245 pounds
Your BMI is 31.5, indicating your weight is in the Obese category for adults of your height.
For your height, a normal weight range would be from 144 to 194 pounds.
People who are overweight or obese are at higher risk for chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
Anyone who is overweight should try to avoid gaining additional weight. Additionally, if you are overweight with other risk factors (such as high LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, or high blood pressure), you should try to lose weight. Even a small weight loss (just 10% of your current weight) may help lower the risk of disease. Talk with your healthcare provider to determine appropriate ways to lose weight.
