If you are thinking this is a true reference for weight loss then you are very much mistaken. Think of this as just a guideline, as based on this table Arnold Schwarzenegger would be considered overweight.
The importance of the BMI table in natural weight loss is to give you any idea of measurment of where you are headed to. As you start to incorporate more strength building activities into your workouts and your muscle mass starts to increase then you will start to show minimal movment in your BMI.
Remember any good weight loss plan starts with diet so make sure you develop a healthy weight loss menu plan, and that should help begin the process of lowering your BMI
