When I was younger I felt happy at 125 lb.Then 20 years later at 135, then another 20 years later, at 145. When I lose weight (which is not hard on very low carb diets, like the body builders) I can get to any BMI that I chose but I feel weaker and unhappier. So I let my body choose its ideal weight. It can’t go too high because higher weight and body fat tends to make my thighs rub together and being fat etc makes me irritable.

Oh, and, I tend to ignore BMI tables.
