What's your BMI?

6'1", 175lbs. 23.1

Wow. I really need to exercise more. I'm 1.9 away from overweight. Expecially since I'm really like 6' 3/4" and like 177lbs...

No need to worry. We all have to exercise but at 6'1", a difference of 1.9 is 14lbs.
 
i wasn't sure whether to post (dont usually talk about my weight) but i figure what the hell :eek:
at 6'1" and 240 i'm a BMI of 31.7.
ive lost 20lb since school started but i still need to lose like 75 lbs...:eek:

I am glad to share. I began a weight loss program in late January 2004 and by Thanksgiving my weight went from 200 to a low of 149. I finally stabilized at 151 in early January 2005 and have remained there since. This obviously has required a change in what I eat on a daily basis. I consistently stay with cereal or fat-free yogurt for breakfast, and I usually have an apple or pear for lunch while at the office. Dinner usually consists of either chicken, tuna or crab plus two vegetables such as carrots and green beans, along with a sizable salad from iceberg lettuce, plum tomatoes, sliced olives and fat-free Thousand Island dressing.

Twice a week I satisfy my love for Italian food by having whole grain pasta. I have not had cravings for cakes and ice cream in a long time and the reason I am doing well is because I honestly enjoy what I am eating now. I do not participate in any vigorous exercise, but try to walk for at least 30 minutes a day. My daily food intake is limited to approximately 2,200 calories and I do not eat anything beyond 7 p.m. and drinking 5-6 glasses of water is part of the daily regimen. At times when I feel a bit more hungry, I will have extra fruit and that does a nice job of eliminating hunger. An added bonus is that my cholesterol reading has been lowered from a prior range of 225 to my new number of 152.

Great info, DD. Thanks. Sounds like a pretty strict regime food-wise. The walking definitely helps. It doesn't help that I'm a bit of a cheeseaholic :(

Only an apple or pear for lunch? :eek: If I get that hungry I get bad headaches. Probably resulting in death within minutes if I let it continue :D
 
Uh. I don't know If you guys are going to believe me. I just came back from a friend's house, he had this fancy scale [Tells water weight etc.] and apparently, I'm 155 :eek: . I thought I weighed 170-175! I could have sworn I did at some point in time... But alas. My new calculated BMI is


19.9 :eek:
I'm 6'2" (Or 6'1.80"ish~ if you want to be exact)
155lb



Good lord. I just had Jack-in-the-Box... I need to do something about this... I'm borderline underweight :eek:

I calculated Shaquille O'Neal's BMI a few weeks ago, and it listed him as obese. :rolleyes:

You should understand that the calculation is based on AVERAGE Americans; Shaquille O'Neal is hardly average so obviously the calculatar wouldn't be accurate.

On that note: I'm 5"1 and weight approx. 115 lbs. (fluctuates between 110-115 depending how stressed out I am...because stress means more food haha). 21.4 BMI. I'm fairly out of shape, though :eek:. I need to go to the gym!

Coroner's report: Cause of death ... eating lunch late. :)

Nobody empathizes more with a headache situation than me. I've been tormented by them since I was 21. I take daily headache medication (2 Fioricet tablets), but my new dietary program has not adversely affected an already delicate problem. I hope everything remains relatively stable.

Um.....probably not. I think you missed Jessica's claim of 68.

Not sure about that one, though. As someone who's 5'10" tall, I'd have to weigh 475 lbs to have a BMI of 68. And a person who's 5'2" woudl have to be around 370 lbs to have such a BMI. :confused:

68 was a guess. 5'5" 385lbs.
hah hah

BMI is total ********. I am 5'10, 165, and I am fine, but my friend who is 5'9, about 186lbs, but is ripped and big, great shape, is considered overweight.

Hmmm...total bs

Its not a very good indicator of overall health.

I'm 6'2" and 190 which puts me right on the edge of overweight - 24.4, but I have 14% body fat which isn't bad at all.

D
 
So I am 30.5.. I liftweights every day, and run about 1.5 to 2.0 miles a day....

Damn you BMI!!!

:)

I am 6'0 225lbs!

5' 10", 170 pounds, 24.4 BMI. Pretty good considering I once weighed 210 pounds (or more... I didn't own a scale back then) and had a BMI over 30. So I've gone from "obese" (if you accept their definition) to "normal".
 
5.95" 215 punds 31BMI DAMN IM OBESE, *LOOKS UP LIPOSUCTION*



(chant) I AM STILL A PIMP
I AM STILL A PIMP(/chant)

*CHEST PAINS*
 
Since the thread (which I missed the first time round) is revived...

29.4 :eek:

But, on the other hand, it was just over 30 (almost 31) for a while so at least it's going the right way... I'd love to get down to the ~25 I was before I quit smoking...

back to 24.6 is the target. ;)
