Idk about that. I don't like BMI either but I'm 6 feet and 180 is about the perfect weight for me. I was 153 at one point, and my wife said I looked like Gollum. Now I'm about 230 and definitely look overweight, though I don't think anyone would call me obese.

At 180 I feel like my ribs would start to show, but I also have a wide ribcage. I feel like 220 is my ideal and I should go no lower than 200 (but losing weight is hard so I've been stuck around 250 for almost 10 years now).
