Known as your BMI count.
BMI calculator (Underweight = <18.5 Normal weight = 18.5-24.9 Overweight = 25-29.9 Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater)



Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

According to that thing I'm 26, overweight.
Maybe it's muscle? :eh:

the BMI index is notoriously flawed.

My BMI is 16.8. I don't look as skinny as I sound, but I could use some more weight. I look fat compared to top models. :P

mine is 19.5

If your BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9 you're an ideal weight for your height.

....woo!:P

Although i think it's a vague test. I mean if you looked at me, i am naturally kind of small boned. Im thinner in my chest region, you can pretty easily see the ribs on my side. Then i have a little flab around my stomach:P

Well im 16, roughly 5"7 and weigh 9 stone, so i guess it's not that bad

Damn... I dated someone considered underweight before, and I thought she was a stick...

18.3. I am barely underweight. Underweight is better than overweight though.:)

I got about a 25... But I've lost weight lately as I've been eating better. (I used to just eat once a day. Now I eat atleast twice.)

Um, at least twice? They recommend you eat about 6 times a day. Big meals are not "healthy."

BMI = Bullshit Mass Index.

BMI works, but only in some cases. My BMI is between 20 and 24 but I'm not fit.

As I was perplexed by the outcome I went and had TWO a BMI's done. One of my head and the other, the reast of my body

Head - 39 +
Body - 18.555555555

Yes, but more balanced are. I used to just eat once a day, and barely eat anything at that. Now I eat two or three times a day. Small but balanced.

Thanks. GestAlt :)

I'm a 17.9... underweight. Isn't it supposed to ask for gender too? I didn't see that option.

I have lower BMI than all y'all!

Then again I may have exaggerated my height... I need to check that and my current weight again.

Been worried about your health lately, Howie? I feel like I've seen several health related threads created by you lately.
