So, it looks like BMI is a reasonable tool for body weight goal setting, even with your "massive" legs.
While your "opinion" is just that, I feel that the numbers BMI gives are either too low or too high. The mirror is a far better tool than BMI calculations. All in all, one should consult their physician before relying on advice from self appointed "experts" on internet forums.
Now as for your "massive" comment......
