Can it be.....?

Can it be that some people just carry weight differently? Yesterday I calculated my BMI and according to that i am slightly overweight,Yet I guess I dont feel that I really "look" overweight. My problem area is in my midsection, I guess you could call it a muffin top. I checked online to see what my "ideak weight" should be, and honestly i havent been that smal since pre-puberty! I grew, things happened, I stopped playing lacrosse and soccer AND I quit the 5 paper routes I had. When I was young I was told my BMI was rediculously low, too low. I think my gym teacher said it was 3(%). I honestly dont want to be as small as I was then, and i dont think it could feasibly happen becuase my body was so different then. I was a beanpole then, now I actually feel healthy.
So can it be that i just carry weight differently than others?

Those charts drive me nuts, personally.
I am about average height, but I have boobs, thighs and a butt!
The charts annoy me:angry7::thumbdown:!

I think you have to take all these measurements into consideration, and of course if you have concerns consult a medical professional. But if you feel healthy and are only slightly into the "overweight" BMI, you probably don't have much to worry about.
there are so many considerations like WavyV said. Even waist to hip ratio isn't always a good way to measure health (I'm very active, however have always had a wide waist and narrow hips, so whr results put me really close to a moderate risk group and bmi always puts me on the high end of normal body fat percentage for my age group, which are both poor representations of my health, fitness and accurate bmi). Just goes to show, that yes, everyone is different, built differently and there are lots of factors at play when regarding health and fitness.
Here's a decent test online that gives some good explanations as to why the results may vary

this test gave me 17.5% which is probably more accurate than the 23.75% I usually get. I had a physical trainer use a body fat caliper on me years ago when I was in college (and definitely NOT as fit as I am now, what can I say I loved my beer
I try not to focus too much on numbers, be it on a calculator, scale, chart etc rather on how I feel.
