What I mean to says is don’t use bmi as a be all end all kind of thing. It matters the energy in vs the energy out. Just because your bmi might be on the higher end doesn’t mean to need or have to lose weight. I’ve had people in my life have eating disorders due to bmi. Talk to a doctor as they would know more about it and a military recruiter most likely wouldn’t be the best person to get health advice from.

Yeah and I am around 200 lbs which makes look more healthy than the 150lbs that bmi thinks I should be at.
Good for you. 150 lbs would seem a bit light for that height.
