I think it's really only considered obese if you are above a 25. Kinda depends on how much is fat and how much is heavier muscle too. I'm getting down to where I don't have much fat left to lose, yet my BMI is still supposedly a 22.6. So, go figure. I would have to lose another 20 pounds of fat for me to be below a 20 BMI. That's just not possible. If it's mostly muscle weight, I wouldn't worry about a 22.

I guess a 22 is actually my goal. I'm 5'9" and weigh 153. According to my calculator, if I get down to 149, I'll be at 22. From my experiences... no way should anybody consider that "still too high".
