It is a rough-and-ready guide. If you have a BMI of 27, then that should just prompt another question: Why?
For some people, it'll be because they're fat. For others, it'll be because they're muscular. Further, simply stating BMI doesn't differentiate between visceral and subcutaneous fat, and that's an important distinction.
As a first step, assessing BMI isn't a bad measure - but it is only a first step.

Apparently many wrestlers are classed as morbidly obese because the scale doesn't account for this. Congratulations on the weight loss/training dude :o)
