Sorry but nobody with a BMI of 39 gets away with not looking "big." That metric at least indicates you are morbidly obese.
Where are you on the global fat scale?

I don't mean to insult anyone, I just think that if society's response to the obesity crisis is to shift the boundaries of "big" past a BMI of 39 then we truly have no hope. It has to be called for what it is, and what it is is a big problem.

I wasn't picking on you for that, I was actually curious if you think someone like me (being female and carrying the weight up front too) would look "morbidly obese" like someone who has a BMI of 39 is all.

I really don't think he was attempting to do that. Not everyone looks the same at the same weight, even if they are the same height. I've seen people look much smaller than the scale alone would assume.
25 BMI, most like someone from Fiji, apparently.

Most medical classifications of obesity seem to peg the "morbid" category at around 40+.
From the WHO, for example.
I'm going ask the ambassador of Micronesia for advice.
I'm glad a lot of you are also as underweight as I am. We should probably have an awareness campaign to get people to send us money for food, forget about DR Congo.

It's been said many times, but BMI is bullshit.
BODY FAT? This BMI doesn't take into account the WEIGHT OF MY MASSIVELY SEXY MUSCLES!

I'm 26, being 5 11 1/2" and 190 lbs. "You're most like someone from Ireland".
Which is funny, because I'm Irish, sort of. My great-grandfather was Swiss-German, and my great-grandmother was Irish. If you look at my family photos, pretty much everyone either looks like one or the other (grandfather was skinny with big ears, grandmother sort of well, stout)

Here's a neat Flickr BMI gallery. No nudity but slightly NSFW because of swimwear and such:

No?
A BMI of 39-40 is generally classified to be in range of severe obesity. I haven't made this up. I dunno, you might be the most muscular person on Earth, I wouldn't know. That's just what that single metric indicates - which is just what I said.
You don't look small.
Bah, this is horse dung. 5'11", 182, age 32 gets me a BMI of 25..below average for the US, but still. I work out quite a bit, and have worked hard to not have to "suck in" at the beach like I used to.
Edit: I am most like someone from Latvia. ...I am not sure how to respond to that

Eh, seems pretty accurate. More than I thought actually.
WTF? My obesity index is 24bmi and apparently I'm above the average of males in the age of 15-29 in Poland. Looking at myself, and looking at men I see every day (especially those above 20-years-old) I really doubt that :lol.
Oh, and apparently I'm "most like someone from Estonia".

Heh, this is an odd chart. I got 27 - "You have a higher BMI than 90% of males aged 15-29 in the world."
If you saw me in person you most likely would not think this. I have my Grandpa to thank for a bulkier look.

I've never heard of that place.
A 73 BMI puts you in the 400-500 pound range, assuming not freakishly tall. So, sure.
I'm a 36 BMI, but getting better quickly. Been running ~4 times a week and eating pretty well. I would have clocked in at 40+ BMI a year ago.

I'm 5'10"/11" and 160 lbs and it says I'm 23 BMI (Below Average in US but Average in World)
I work out 4 or 5 days a week though with relatively large intakes of protein for building muscle mass.
Not really a good scale obviously.
