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?

None of my physicians have ever brought it up, and I certainly have not pursued it on my own. I have no idea what my BMI index would be.

But every time I have read anything about the supposed ideal weight for my height, I know that there is NO way that will ever happen!
