sorry, but 6 ft 230 lbs is obese. You can try to say it's ok because the other people around you are also fat, but that doesn't make it good or healthy. I agree that the overweight part really isn't very overweight, but when you hit obese it isn't healthy. Everyone isn't created equal, and some people get overweight easily, that's just how it is.

 You are one of the reasons my 5'4 (1.6m) 120lb (54.5kg) friend thinks she needs to lose weight. I hope this doesn't sound like I'm coming off as offended because I am not, but you don't know who is around me. Only one of my friends, he is 6'2 (1.85m) 250lbs (113-114kg), the rest of my friends are smaller than me. My younger brother who goes to the gym for frequently than I do and has less body has a higher BMI of 32.2 than I do. He is 5ft 10in (1.75m) and 215lbs (98kg). My best friend is 6ft 1in (1.85m) 155lbs (70kg). Another one of my good friends is 5ft 11in (1.78m) 190lbs (87kg). So outside of my 250lb friend none of my friend can be consider fat. He is 20lbs overweight BTW. So you say I'm obese? Lets see what everyone else thinks. Photos below, if you don't want to see me in tank top don't look.
