I don't disagree with the overweight category, but the obese category seems awfully unforgiving. I am 6'2" and 230lbs and that is high end overweight and nearly obese on the BMI formula. Looking at me you would never expect that though.

I'm currently working to get my weight down but I find their definition of my situation as being nearly obese to be a little over the top.

I just think they need to take more in to account than just height and weight.
