The BMI index, in my opinion, is crap.
You can weight 140 and be a size 8, or you can weigh 115 and be a size 8. It depends upon your muscle mass. I'd rather have some muscle than be a stick, personally.

if you put much credence into these calculations, then I agree with Joe...get a body fat measurement and then track that over time...

OK...I'm back and I'm checking up on this thread. G - if you aren't in the penalty box today then get ye over there PRONTO! 
I haven't had my body fat calculated before. I know there is some instrument made for doing that but I don't even know what it looks like. I don't have a gym membership and I know many people get themselves tested there. I do go to TKD at a gym, though, so maybe I can convince one of the guys that work there to test it for me.
BTW, I'm going to start another thread about weight loss that you will all enjoy.
