A month+ ago I went in for a physical, in spite of being 6' tall and about 195, the doc told me I was a fat b@stard and needed to lose 30 lbs. Now I could see 5 or 10, but 30?! ;-)
He also told me that there have been a lot of recent discoveries with vitamin D and my levels were low, told me to take 2000mg/day (might be IU, I can't recall).
Anyone else now anything about recent vitamin D discoveries? Is D the new C? ;-)

Only when showing your report card to your parents.

Presumably, you meant micrograms, not milligrams.
Easy solution: eat more fish.

He's an ass. If you lose 10 lbs you'll have a BMI that's still within the normal range. Right now you're one point above that. Physicians like things like the BMI because it makes it easy for them to give people 'scientific' and correct advice. Actually they, more than anybody else, should know that something as complicated as the human metabolism can hardly be described by a simple ratio of two numbers. 
I don't know about the vitamin D thing. After what he said about your weight, I'd be hesitant to trust him though. When it comes to your weight you sure don't sound like you'd be in any trouble. If you're healthy, you feel good the way you are, and your weight is steady, I see no reason to change anything about it. Of course eating healthy and some exercise is never a bad thing. Getting out every so often for a run or a bike ride is pretty nice anyway.

I'm going to go ahead guess you really wanted to post "sand in your panties" because no one could be so dumb as to think that was anything other than sarcasm.

I had suspicions but I didn't want to be the one to say it.

I was going to mention it, but figured doing so would be ten times douchier than getting the subject/oblique case distinction wrong.
(By the way, numerals up to and including ten are written out as words, not numbers)

Dr. Cannell:
Should I take Vitamin D to prevent the H1N1 flu? If so, how much?
What role did Vitamin D play in the 1918 pandemic, when 600,000 Americans died?
If I get this flu, should I take very high doses of vitamin D? Is so, how much?
Should I take the special flu vaccine the CDC and others are developing?
What are you going to do for your family about the 2009 flu?
Why does the CDC and NIH ignore the Vitamin D studies?

What bugs me even more is when people say "The doctor gave the Vit. D pills to my brother and I".

You're usually not prescribed a specific vitamin unless you're pretty deficient. Are you low or deficient? That's a pretty important difference. If you're low, you can make up any vitamin D through carefully selected foods. Vitamin D is measured in micrograms.
The BMI is just a rough estimate for your average person. The healthiest weight for any individual is slightly overweight.
