POLL: What is your BMI (Body Mass Index)?

What is your BMI? Don't fudge the numbers, lets make this legit :P

24.4, but i guessed my weight as realistically as possible. pis3rch

As long as you tried to be realistic we'll let it slide :D

mine is 20.8 :D

22.3

19.8, yeap.

Apparently I'm underweight:( wizzardjeff

That's easy to solve... :D

Apparently... I's normal! :D

20.2

27.0

But I am mostly muscle, little fat

-that is the problem with this...does not take muscle into account...almost all pro athletes would be obese

-developed my math guy not nutrition guy = FAIL

18.8. I would like to gain more weight, but it's so hard. =[ff7fan2

I send you a jealous facepalm. I wish it was hard for me to gain weight, I love food but can't express my love all the time in fear of ending up like Jabba the Hutt.

23.4 I'm pretty happy with that

I'm pretty skinny! and wasted!

It says I'm 18.7, but I'm probably around more around the 15 mark. Last year around this time, I had 12.6 (from an actual test thing with an electrical impedence thing)0_o, and with similar workout ethics over the summer, so I'm probably around 15 at most...

Mine says 28.. this can't be accurate. I'm not even overweight :?

22.2 - Normal. But I fooled it, because I'm really a ghost living inside a computer, other, etc.... muhahahahaaaaaRotaryRX7

So you're the one person who voted "Other"?

The first paragraph says that IT IS USING THE BMI INDEX to calculate Ideal Weight

-so using failed formula to prove something = fail

Buddy, muscles don't indicate fitness.

I got 16.6, I'm underweight :(

Buddy, muscles don't indicate fitness.

That was never my argument.

There are plenty of people with lots of muscles that are 1. out of shape and 2. Fat

MY ARGUMENT was that this is a flawed index (developed by a math guy...which I am as well...have no business making up body health formula)

Question:

I am 6-1, 205

NFL DB's are also about this size (they are incredibly fit, usually fastest guys on the field)

Would you classify them as fat?

This Index would, that is why it fails

It said i'm 22.5 so I'm normal weight

My body mass index is 23.4. I'm of normal weight.:)

2179... I think I inputted it wrong.Hungry_bunny

[QUOTE="rawsavon"] here is what it says: The table below shows the ideal weight calculated using these formulas as well as the weight associated with the Body Mass Index (BMI)rawsavon

so should I sue my gym instructor? :P ...I mean I don't intend to do body building or fulfill some special creteria- I always keep my weight below 178lb.
