BMI / Body Mass Index Calculator

By now, most people who are trying to lose weight realize that weight alone cannot indicate your health. The healthy weight for someone who is 5'1" is far different than the healthy weight of someone who is 6'4". Also, someone who is thin-bodied with thin bones might have a different ideal weight than someone who has large hips and large bones - even if both of them are 5'6".

A Body Mass Index calculator works in a pretty simple manner. It takes your height and weight and determines if - in general - your weight is in a healthy range for your height.

Measure your height (including feet and inches) while standing barefoot. Now weigh yourself.

overweight: BMI of 25-30
obese: BMI of 30-40
morbidly obese: BMI of 40+
