BMI and body fat percentage are 2 different things. For example, a very muscular athlete and an obese person may have the same BMI (since it's based only on weight and height) but they clearly won't have the same body fat percentage. And, like Running said, take those scales with a gigantic grain of salt. I've heard and read that they can have an accuracy range of something like 25% in either direction, yikes!! The only way to get a true body fat percentage test is in a hydro tank... everything else is wildly variable.
Good luck!
