Yeah, the basic BMI doesn't take into consideration a huge number of factors so I consider it to be a useless metric.
I can't see myself as 'obese.' Is there even a standardized medical agreement on what the term actually means? I'm suspicious there's a programming fault in the web app that rendered its inexpert judgement.
In any case, I'd be happier reducing my weight down to 175 lbs but I'm not going to lose sleep over it --especially since my life is apparently under threat because I don't get enough already.
