lbs (pounds)

Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 56.8 Kg/m2. This means your weight is within the Obese range.

Your current BMI is greater than the recommended range of 18.5 to 24.9.
To be within the right range for your height, your ideal weight should be between 89 lbs and 119 lbs. Being overweight increases your risk of developing coronary heart disease, as well as other health conditions such as diabetes. Keeping to a healthy weight will help you control your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. You lose weight if the amount of energy coming into your body is less than what is being used up by your body. Aim to exercise more and eat a healthy balanced diet. For individualised medical and dietary advice consult your GP and Dietitian.

Can BMI be used by everyone?

For most people, BMI provides a good measure of obesity. However, BMI does not provide actual information on body composition (i.e. the proportions of muscle, bone, fat, and other tissues that make up a person’s total body weight), and may not be the most appropriate indicator to determine health status for certain groups of people. For example, athletes with dense bones and well developed muscles or people with large body frames may be obese by BMI standards (i.e. they have BMIs greater than 30), but yet have little body fat. On the other hand, inactive people may seem to have acceptable weights when, in fact, they may have too much body fat. Similarly, a petite gymnast may be considered underweight but not unhealthy. BMI, when used for children and adolescents who are still growing, pregnant women, people with large body frames, or petite and highly muscular individuals, should be interpreted cautiously. source: http://origin.www.cnpp.usda.gov/ Publications/NutritionInsights/ Insight16.pdf

Formulas used to calculate BMI

BMI, is calculated as weight divided by height squared. It is a simple measurement of body weight in relation to height. See the formulas below both in the metric system and in the US customary units or imperial systems of measurements:

SI (metric) units
BMI=weight(kg) / (height(m))2

BMI Chart - Understanding Body Mass Index

The table below applies for any person aged 18 years and over. These thresholds do not change with age and are the same for both men and women. Sources: Body Mass Index as a measure of obesity - NHS, Body Mass Index and Health - USDA.
Note: BMI is NOT interpreted the same way for children as it is for adults. For children the relationship between fatness and BMI varies with age and sex, so definitions of obesity and overweight need to take these two variables into account.

BMI below 16.0 Kg/m2Severely underweight
BMI=16.0 to 18.5 Kg/m2Underweight
BMI=18.5 to 24.9 Kg/m2Normal weight
BMI=25 to 29.9 Kg/m2Overweight
BMI of 30 or greater Kg/m2Obese


Excess body fat is correlated to future risk of obesity-related illness. Other measurements you should make are: waist circumference and skin thickness. All these indicate a person’s weight status or body fatness.
