@merpreb I too got a bit of a stern mention from my PCP last week telling me I needed to lose the weight I had gained -- about 8 pounds. A lot of it happened due to my inactivity from my fracture, that caused me to be at home more and somewhat depressed. I got into some really bad eating habits but I am back to working hard at losing those extra pounds.
To paraphrase a common expression, "eat, drink, and be merry, tomorrow you must diet".
Also, speaking of BMI, if you have a lot of muscle your BMI will be higher too. My son is fairly muscular, he works out a lot, and his BMI is not within the desirable range for his height, but he has no fat on him.
