Work out your height in metres and multiply the figure by itself
Measure your weight in kilograms
Divide the weight by the height squared
For example, if you are 1.6m (5ft 3in) tall and weigh 65kg (10st 3lb), the calculation would then be: 65 ÷ (1.6 x 1.6 = 2.56) = 25.39
A BMI of less than 18.5 is underweight
A BMI of 18.5-25 is ideal
A BMI of 25-30 is overweight
A score of 30 or above is obese

My BMI is 31 so I'm obese. I'm 5ft 8 and 93kg. I go to the gym 6 days a week and swim twice, have trained for 25 years and was a competitive powerlifter so my build is quite bulky with muscle. The BMI does not take into account muscle mass, just your bodyweight in general. The majority of top rugby players are obese like me |

If rugby players looked like you I'd watch it more often |

If you feel good and healthy you are good and healthy. Stats are only a yardstick of an average or the percentage of a study. Truth is we are individuals, being all identical is not natural and bloody impossible. |

When I'm 100% fit from illness and back to work its time to get serious with the diet and swimming. For me that is, and the size 14 clothes I have and new dresses have bought recently not the fatty haters on here |
