is BMI a measurement worth considering, or no?

BMI is simply a ratio of height to weight. Body composition isn't taken into account at all. So for the average American (ugh!!!), it's an easy guideline to look at. But as Kelly pointed out, people with lots of muscle often fall into the obese cateogory if you base it only on BMI. My BMI says I'm pretty dang fat - and while I'm not "thin" and have some fat to lose, it's not as bad as my BMI would say.
