According to the almighty BMI calculator, I'm part of the problem (26.6). The thing is, I'm actually a hair under what I consider my ideal weight. I'm one of the faster runners in my reserve unit, and I have no problem throwing truck tires around for an hour or two at a time. When I was unemployed and doing PT nearly every day (alternating weight and cardio days), I actually weighed about 8 lbs more than I do now.

BMI (weight for height) isn't a true measure of fitness. That much being said, there are a lot of very out of shape people around, and it's relatively easy to fix. Just get some exercise.
