not accurate. I'm 6'0 and about 220 lbs, but most of it is muscle. I
think 170 or 175 is considered the ideal weight for my height so if I
went by one of those charts they would tell me I'm about 50 lbs
overweight, but I'm sure if I went to my doctor he would tell me that
I'm not really overweight at all, I don't have a stomach at all, I eat
right for the most part and take a lot of vitamins plus some
supplements. Whatever your genetics dictate is pretty much what you will
be.

I'm wondering who sets these body-weight to height ratios
I'm fairly heavy set (broadish shoulders and chest), so they tend to
class me in the heavier brackets, but it still says I'm about 30ish
pounds over-weight, yet I could lose 10 pounds and be fairly "trim"
They never take into account things like your muscle size
Having met Beth (a couple of years back at DevCon), she's muscular, but
will never get into the "perfect" weight bracket for her height
I'm with Erika on this - some people are meant to be a certain size, and
nothing you can do will make you get to the "defined" weight that people
seem to think is perfect
