Skinny as a rail, and that was at 170. If I weighed 148, it would be ok with the BMI scale, but I have to think you would be able to see every bone in my body. When I was in the army, my weight was right around 200. At that weight, I was bordering on overweight according to BMI. I can't how being super skinny is healthier than having a few extra pounds you can stand to lose if you get sick.

They should exam each person as an individual and base their assessment on how you look and feel overall not just a broad range. I just can't see how you were in the Army with all the physically demanding activity on a daily basis and their chart is saying you're borderline overweight at 6'2" 200lbs smh
