Yeah I'm 5'8 and 155 and it says my BMI is a 24. WHich is borderline obese. Oh yeah, I actually had soemthing to say relating to the topic. As a half-Japanese person I can say that upon my visits they were all impressed with how skinny and in shape I was (this was when I was in college and lifted daily) because they'd heard that all Americans are fat and lazy and obese. How sad that that's the image other country's residents have of us.

Same here.  When in HK I am "fat", or at least, chubby.  One time I was sick, went to the doc had seen me since I was a kid.  The nurse asked me to weigh, and saw the numbers "132 lb".  She said "wow... you don't look like you're that FAT".  They are actually quite obsess with the numbers. 

Here some people described me as "tiny".  No really, I am NOT tiny.
