Iowa		I like my digital scale that shows % body fat and % hydration. Two people of the same height and weight, even if they are both considered "normal" on the BMI index, can be vastly different in terms of health and fitness. As others have said, the BMI index is only a vague guide at best. One's gender and age also needs to be taken into consideration.

I just googled percent body fat and lots of charts popped up.

Here is a link to one of them:

These types of charts are probably not the last word, but I think they can give a much better indication of one's condition than a BMI chart.

That being said, some of you have are no doubt making commendable progress regardless of what any chart says.
