What is my body mass index (BMI)?
I’m now interested in gathering some info on my body. My wife ‘kindly’ bought a new set of decent digital scales. I weighed between 15 stone 2lb and 15 stone 5 lb depending on time of day etc. I am going to weigh myself once a week to see where things take me.
I am also interested in measuring my Body Mass Index - this is a simple measure of weight against height. I am smack in the middle of the ‘overweight’ section - at least I’m not technically obese. However what is scary - to reduce my BMI to below 25 (technically normal weight) I would need to drop to around 13 an a half stone. I thought 14 stone would maybe see me right but not according to this.
Fuck me, that means I need to lose the best part of 2 stones. Ouch - this could take longer than I thought. I guess that means I need to work even harder - well here goes….
BTW - here is a link to an online body mass index calculator (BMI calculator) - http://www.whatsmybmi.co.uk
