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?

No I dont, but if you are awaiting any sort of surgery they may refuse to do it if your BMI is high.
A number of years ago i was told my BMI was very high and it idicated i was obese. The nurses were baffled. They said looking at me, it was hard go see where i could loose more weight from! (id lost over 2stone). Thankfully my surgery went ahead.
