For most of my life I was not fat and fit. Now I am 30 pounds overweight. I am still fit and strong but fat and fit is very different than not fat and fit. I can't wait to lose these pounds. Carrying extra weight no matter how fit I am beneath the fat layer is a disadvantage.

BMI is unfair to people who are more muscular. In top condition I was overweight but my body fat percentage was almost too low for a woman.

If you've ever see the participants in running races, you realize that people of all shapes and sizes can be physically fit. Duh.
