BMI is based on a male with a sedentary lifestyle. If you work out or exercise in any way, BMI is worthless for you.

I know. It's not good.

Your BMI result is: 31.59

I am well obese, even though I am 6ft 5" and am 19 stone. :rolleyes:

6ft2, 13stone 8lbs, BMI = ok according to the graph on the bbc website, 2lbs more and I'd be overweight :eek:

BMI is bloody useless though, it's 24.4% not taking into consideration my BF percentage at 11/12%.

Your BMI is 36.15786

Bearing in mind that i have muscular legs which do whack the weight up and im more of a stocky build i can safely say that i do need to loose weight and i am doing.

BMI is a pile of crap if you don't take into consideration body fat %age or muscle bulk etc...

I'm 6'1" and 14 1/2 stone ergo "overweight" which is a pile of rubbish - ask anyone that's met me.

Zip · 12 Oct 2006 at 21:54

Im 5'6" tall and 10 1/2 stone if any one wanted to know

Freefaller · 12 Oct 2006 at 21:54

You're so ikkle!

My mate's 5'9" and 8.5 stone which is quite horrifying. He's been trying to put on weight for the last year or so—you should see the stuff he eats!—but he just can't do it.

Una · 12 Oct 2006 at 21:58

I am pretty similar, 5'9 and 9 Stone. I eat plenty but no matter the amount I eat I can't put weight on. It's not like I don't know the theory of what to eat etc.. it just never seems to work. This weight stuffs all crap anyhow so long as you are happy

Alasdair · 12 Oct 2006 at 22:34

5' 11", 11stone, 12lb - BMI 23.1 - healthy.

I have a bit of a belly, but I know I'll continue to have this as I drink beer and eat the occasional cake. My arms and legs are perfectly toned for what I do - swim and cycle.

yhack · 12 Oct 2006 at 22:47

6' - 10 stone

Between underweight and OK

Hurrah!

Psymonkee · 12 Oct 2006 at 23:00

Massively over but I already know that

Poor lifestyle tbh - lunch generally seems to be what ever is left in the sarnie fridge after the lunch rush :/ Thats the killer. Oh and since sitting on a checkout little to no exercise

Should really start a blog about losing the masses of weight I need to shed....
