I'm nineteen. Going to be twenty in two months.

5'8" tall.

I dunno my exact weight, but I'm guessing it's somewhere between 140 and 145 pounds. I'm going to use 140 to calculate my BMI, which leads to...

21.3.

My BMI is about 22.3.

22.3 :/

BMI charts are a terrible way to determine whether you're healthy or not.

According to BMI charts, I'm almost obese.
According to my cardiologist whom I see twice a year and works for one of the most prestigious hospitals in the country, I'm just on the higher range of a healthy weight.

I'm somewhere between 5'8" and 5'9", so for simplicity I've just used 5'9" for my height. Weight hovers between 135 and 140, I've used 138 because it's in the middle. This puts me at 20.4.

Hm, true. This is in part because BMI doesn't take into account body fat percentage. Muscle weighs a lot, so for example a body builder, although being perfectly healthy, would be quite "obese" by the standards of a simple height to weight ratio. So, it can give a general picture of where you're at but things such as muscle mass can throw it off, and you shouldn't put a ton of stock into it.

I'm 5ft6
I weigh about 180
BMI = 29 (overweight)

It's just a general gauge. The most accurate way of gauging yourself is through body fat percentage. Of which, mine is between 6% and 10%.
