I wouldn't look at BMI because it doesn't factor in muscle or those with a larger structure.

My husband is 5'5". Right now he's overweight, but in the past he's weighed 150lbs. According to BMI that puts him as overweight. He's got lots of leg muscle and a larger frame, so going down below 150 would make him look awful.

When I think of HWP, I think that they don't want someone who is 'flabby' or has a gut (not just a little extra belly from baby or something) or is plain fat.
