BMI (Body Mass Index) is a messure of how you differ from what doctors have determined is normal or desirable. It used exactly two variables. Your height and your weight. Here is a place to calculate your bmi. http://www.halls.md/body-mass-index/bmi.htm

Hope this helps. Good Luck!!

Your body mass index is a ratio of weight to height. You can do the math on your own, it’s very simple. I use myself as an example.

Multiply your height in inches by your height in inches, (I’m 5’4” – 5 feet = 60 inches and then add however many more inches you are to that. So I am 64 inches tall.) Example: 64 x 64 = 4,096

Divide your weight by that number. Example: 130/4,096 = .032

Multiply that by 703 to find your BMI. Example: BMI = .032 x 703 = 22.31

So my BMI is 22.31 then you can check it against a chart http://www.consumer.gov/weightloss/bmi.htm

So I’m right about where I should be :)

^ yeah pretty much right.

I would just like to add that it’s not always perfect because muscle mass can throw it off.

bmi stands for body mass index

bmi is your body mass index… you figure it out by using some numbers. I cant remember what they are… I think weight and height. basically it tells you if your under-weight, normal or overweight.
