How accurate is the BMI (body mass index) in determining your health???

I am 33, 5 foot 6, very active (swim, walk a lot, have started yoga and belly dancing, and do sit-ups, 25 a day, and push ups about 15 a day). I have a lot of muscle in my arms and legs. I have a little bit of a baby condo left from having my third child, but other then that my stomach is relatively flat. My BP is usually around 110/60. But here is the thing, I way 223 lbs. When I have people geuss my weight people usually say about 150, I know some of that is trying to be polite but some seem genuinely suprised when I say what I weigh. According to the BMI I am morbidly obese, but I don’t feel it. I told my mother and a co-worker that I want to lose 70 lbs they said that I would look like a skeleton. My doctor says weightloss would be good, but he also says that I am in perfect health, so what do you folks think???? Go by weight or go by how you look, act and feel?????

What are some ways I can improve physical balance?

I’m a little clumsy and I just entered Taekwondo. They were making us stand on one foot and kick and stuff like that and I noticed I was unbalanced and a couple times lost my footing. What are some ways I can improve my balance and fluidness not only in my legs but in my entire body?

is it possible to get any taller after you reach the age of 21?

What is the best shoe insert to use if a person rolls their foot out when walking?

My shoe heels always wear quickly on the outside of the heel. In Pilates it’s stated that also puts pressure on the knees causing knee pain.

Sound does not match my video. I have a 32″ White Westinghouse LCD tv and a Directv Hidef Satellite receiver.

I am using a 25 foot hdmi cable. My sound is about a second quicker than my video which makes me feel like i am watching an old kung fu movie. Any help, please. This tv and receiver is brand new.
I am not running my sound thru any stereo equipment or tivo. My HDMI cable runs directly from my directv hidef non tivo receiver to my tv. No other components are involved.
