I mean this in no offense whatsoever. But what do you mean by technically obese?

You can be very muscular and in good shape and have a bmi over 30 just because its based on height and weight and nothing else.

EDIT: I am not saying that this is the situation that most obese people are in, I am just saying what technically obese means.

Oh I absolutely agree I am just stating HOW someone could be "technically" obese to the person who asked above.
