BMI's can be misleading for athletes. Make sure everyone knows that is why yours is so high ;-)

Muscle ways more than fat but BMI does not account for that. So, if you lift weights or are a very fit cyclist for example :-) you will be higher than you should be despite the proper body make up.

I am a 25 BMI and people call me slim as a nickname and tell me to gain weight all the time. That's what happens when you get enough lean muscle to kick Gloop's @ss one handed.
