Whats your BMI and what do you wish it was?

OvertakenByTractors [Edit] [Delete] 23 replies 21:15, 7 October '09

Apparently the average BMI is around 26 (so overweight.) mine is around 24.5. Being 6'5" and 14 stone 8-15 stone (almost overweight though I appear quite slim.) BMIS are for retards?

  • How do you work this out?

    and someone think up a few alternatives for BMI, y'know funny ones. What else could it stand for?

  • Just google a BMI calculator

    its something like height divided by weight. Which does not account for some people are big build/are pretty fucking tonk.

  • 23 ish

    but its a load of balls - someone of 6'2" who weighs 10 stone 4 isn't underweight?

    codpieceface | 7 Oct '09, 21:31 | X
    • You've done the calculation wrong

      yours is 18.5, right on the fringe of being underweight.

  • 20.5

    I want it to be 20.7

  • 22.8

    normal weight apparently which is about right at the moment.

    GalacticStar3ruption | 7 Oct '09, 21:36 | X
  • 21.5

    but I've still got a belly, it just won't leave.

  • ive lost weight recently, but

    18.9

    im happy with this. id like a bit more weight, but all my current weight is mostly in muscle. why yes, i am single, ladies.

    doodthatkicksarse | 8 Oct '09, 00:58 | X
    • i'm 22 point something

      which is probably accurate enough. BMI is notoriously poor as an estimate of healthy weight for really tall/short/muscular people though.

      OceanStorm | 8 Oct '09, 01:58 | X
    • 24.1

      and taking account of my age I'm in the 24th percentile i.e. 76% weigh more than me.

      Result!

    • 17.9

      I'm not that thin though, so I don't know why it's come out so low. I guess if you're not of exactly average height and build then it doesn't work properly.

      froglet | 8 Oct '09, 02:10 | X
    • 23.4

      i'm in the 34th centile apparently.

      i'd be overweight if i wasn't so tall.
