Do you pay attention to your BMI?

My body mass index indicates I am extremely obese >35. I rejoined the gym right after Christmas and have been exercising regularly. Admittedly, I need to make some changes in my diet, but at least I'm feeling, moving, and sleeping better. I bought a body composition scale which arrived yesterday, and it provided some alarming numbers so now I'm terrified.

How much attention do you pay to your body composition figures?

Occasionally. But mostly I just try to keep my weight down. I weigh myself perhaps once a month or less often. According to the NHS UK BMI calculator I am on the upper edge of the healthy weight range. That feels about right to me, I have a bit more belly than I like and I feel happier when I am a little lighter, so I just try to keep my portion sizes down.
