Like I said, 20 lbs or so overweight but I am making ways to being healthy. I am going to start running next week so that I can work all my muscles longer and easier.

Well according to that I am normal weight. However I am a 13 year old coming up on 14 who is 5' 10" and around >160 pounds. I have always been told untill lately (last physical being 9 months, 3 inches and 15 pounds ago) that I am below the average weight and above the average height for my age group.
5'9" and 270lbs.
WebMD says... obese.
Completely my fault, though. I used to run and lift weights and such. 170-180 in senior high school. Got up to 230 by the end of junior college (working in a thrift store warehouse and truck). 250-ish through undergrad. Now working at a desk full time and full-time continuing studies. Stinking sedentary lifestyle!
Have been changing it since a roadtrip to my dad's place, where my youngest sister pulled out a photo album of high school. *looked at picture*, *looked at self*, "Sh*t".
Run MWF, weights TR. Packing sandwich to work instead of takeaway at the mall. No soda. Parking at free parking a half mile away from work and walking. Taking stairs up 7 floors to my office in the morning...
It's also cheaper this way, so double-bonus.

5' 10" foot tall and I weigh 145. I go to the gym every day and play soccer (UK: football) in highschool. I'd say I'm pretty fit.
6'5 and 235 lbs, I'm a fair bit overweight and lanky, I'd probably need to cut down a fair bit; but I'm still pretty strong on the whole. In particular, my shoulders are pretty darn good, and I could get into rowing if I cut down on the weight. It's really hard to get it done right now with school (unfortunately), but during the summer, I might decide to cut down on my weight; kinda want to try mountain climbing, but obviously the extra pounds aren't a good thing. If I tried over the summer, I might build up some more muscle and still reduce my weight to around the 200-210 range, which would put me at HS linebacker weight.
Strangely though, despite my weight, I can still run pretty fast and more importantly, I can weave and cut through traffic/crowds of people better than some skinnier folk. Shit, this thread really makes me want to cut down on my weight just to see how much better I would get.

I sit in the "average, but only just" category, at 5' 1" and weighing 102 lbs, with a BMI of 19.3, apparently. My mum thinks I'm skinny, but I'm not by any means ('cause I'm only small, there're some podgy bits here and there). I used to be really skinny, then chubby when I was around 12/13 (school dinners, they're a killer), then the weight dropped off and now I'm very comfortable where I'm at.
BMI is well-known for it's inaccuracies (not accounting for above average muscle mass). Waist to hip ratio are more acceptable means of measuring fitness (though it's not ideal either).
That said, I eat healthy and exercise daily (run 2 miles one day and lift, 4 miles the next day) and am in good shape as a result.
