How is 5'4" and 140 not in an acceptable BMI range? I wouldn't put much stock in BMI anyway: according to that metric, most athletes are obese.
Oh, you are right, I didn't do the math properly going from metric to your standard measures. 5'4'' and 140 is in an acceptable BMI range, but my BMI is 26.
I don't put much stock in BMI or even the scale, but I am much heavier than I look.
