What's your BMI?

[freelance lover]

I have no idea, honestly. Researchers are now coming out saying that an "overweight" BMI doesn't necessarily mean you're unhealthy, nor does a "normal" one mean you're healthy.

The internet just told me that I'm 24.4, which is technically not even overweight, but I call bull. I definitely need to lose weight and get in better shape.

I never really cared about numbers, more how I looked.

I'm 5'1 and 144lbs....
so I'm 27.2. overweight

My goal is to be 130lbs and the BMI for that is 24.6 which is at the top range of normal.

It sounds like we have really similar bodies! (BMI wise at least.) You're a little shorter, but that's it.

Good luck with those 14 pounds. (:

I love using BMI. Otherwise I have to say "I'm almost 160 pounds BUT I'm 5'11" " I am a healthy 22

"What is normal for one is not normal for another."

I'm 5' 1" and my BMI is a shocking 44.2, obese (234lbs). I want to be 33.1, still obese (I used to be 175lbs). And according to the calculator I found, I would have to be 24.6 (130lbs) to be considered "normal weight". Oh my god, that's ******** up, I'd have to be a toothpick! ******** society and their "perfect woman" image! stressed

"Therefore, there is no such thing as "normal", is there?"

I thought the health care system came up with BMI. o_O

33.2

My goal is to be 180 pounds for now.
Then I'll go lower once I hit 180.

26.2
Overweight

I'd like to lose 40lbs or so. It says a healthy weight for my height and age is between 120 and 161lbs. i'm about 165-170, so I think about 130 would be good.

23.4 top range of normal. I don't really go by bmi though. I mean, I have this huge layer of fat right around my belly, that is definitely not healthy because I hadn't been eating right before I started losing weight, so I don't know. Sometimes I overthink the numbers and I'm trying not to do that.

24. something or other. Technically "normal" weight but I want to be trim and toned so that 24 is going to have to drop a few digits. :] Good Luck to all of you. And to those of you who think reaching "normal" is impossible or too far out of reach smile just know that I had a BMI of around 35 at one point in my life. I got from 35 to around 26 by just taking a good 30 minute power walk per day from my school to the library. =3 If I can do it so can you.
