Well it looks like round 2 is going to go pretty much the same way as round 1, but on first medical it looks like my dr messed up the weight for Dp.
Now seeing as it was Dp's weight that was the issue last time it looks as though we have not even tried to loose the weight. But dp is not unhealthy by any streak he has type 2 diabetes which is exceptionally well controlled and high blood pressure due to the diabetes but he eats healthily and exercises and is currently renovating his dads house so we have a family home. His Bmi is 51

Just to put the whole "rugby players are morbidly obese" into perspective.

My dh is an ex junior international at a sport (not rugby). He still plays at a very high level now. His arms look like Popeye's (think tennis balls sized muscles) and the same with his legs. When he tenses the muscles on his stomach it is as solid as a wall. He is very broad shouldered.

When we first started going out (when he was 22) he had a BMI of about 22.5 and had no fat on him whatsoever. Now (at 37 and with middle aged spread) he has a BMI of about 26 but looks similar in "fatness" to me with my BMI of about 23 - 24.

So yes - all the muscle does make a difference. Technically he is now "overweight" but I don't think he really is.

However, I would say that all his muscle mass increases his BMI by maybe 2 or 3 but no more.
