Am i really so close to obesity?!

[missjef]

According to the BBC BMI (body mass index) calculator i have a BMI of 29.10 which is classed as overweight, 30 or greater is classed as obese, but i dont feel that i am that close to being obese. Overweight is between 25-30, so i am quite high up on the overweight scale. I am an 18 year old girl, im 5ft 3ish, i weigh just under 12 stone, and i do feel slightly overweight but i dont feel as overweight as this is telling me i am! I wear size 12 tops mainly unless i want them baggy then i get a 14, and bottoms are usually size 14 or 16 so i dont feel like i am on the verge of being obese!! So am i really that close to obesity or are my proportions wrong or something?? oh and for all you people interested in what your BMI is heres the link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/healthy_living/you r_weight/bmiimperial_index.shtml

well im overweight and I know it but I do think its a personal thing. When I was 9 stone ( I am between 5ft8 and 9) I would have been in a healthy weight range, yet my body didnt seem to think so as my periods stopped and I was always ill and had permanant dark circles under my eyes. If you can honestly say your health isnt suffering and you could still run abit, go up and down the stairs without any struggle then maybe you are ok.
