BMI isn't a percentage. It is your weight in kilograms divided by the square of your height.
There are adjustments for non-metric units, wikipedia explains it well.
I'm just using it to compare the thinness of various people of different heights. I don't advocate BMI scores as a goal or as a very reliable predictor of health. It all depends on whether your weight is muscle or flab. Reading your posts, it sounds like you're mostly muscle.
