BMI classification is not an exact science - it does not differentiate between fat and muscle so a very fit and athletic man with a lot of muscle bulk could be classified as obese even though he is obviously not obese.
BMI should simply be considered a helpful guide, there are many other guides that are just as useful. You can tell if you need to lose weight just by looking in the mirror, or noticing how you feel when you have to walk up the stairs, or trying to do the zipper up on your jeans. Even though it is useful to have these guidelines don't let yourself get too bogged down in the science of slimming, in the end, of course,it comes down to common sense and the way you feel.
