Bmi Calculations
Posted: 06-07-04 19:11pm

If anyone is interested here you go
how to find your bmi

1) take your weight and multiply by 704.7
2) divide that number by your
height squared
3) the remaining number is your bmi

how do you measure up?:

emaciated = under 15 bmi
anorexic = under 17.5 bmi
underweight = under 19 bmi
normal = 19 - 24 bmi
overweight = 25 - 29 bmi

chrystin pre-pregnant score- 15.8
chrystin 31 week score- 20.3

Idont wanna do it cuz its not good for me to do but I know mine right b4 I was preg was 18 (thats right after I started trying to recover)...Most of last yr and the yr b4 it was 16. And now. .Who knows! But their not very accurate because u would have to have it done at a doctor because everyones body is so different and some people are built extremely tiny or bigger etc. I asked my doc about those b4 and he said u gotta actually come in and have it done wheere done where they do ur body fat etc because many peoples are way off;.

Squared is just the number times itself again.

Like 9 * 9 if you weigh 9 pounds.

Oh, by the way for you guys in other countries, I *believe* this only works for weight in pounds and height in inches.

I just dont think these things are right... Kari is right about how you gotta go to the doc to get a correct one, cuz they dont consider important things, like your build and everything, everybody is built differently... I got very tiny tiny bones, so now since I was skinny before I got pregnant, they are sayin I was underweight... Now im normal, when I should be above the normal part since in pregnant... Also, muscle weighs alot, so if somebody has more muscle than normal, they could be considered obese, when they really arent, just becuase of the weight...

With centremeters and kilograms it's take your hight in square times weight, like this: (h2)xw=bmi

but I can't calculate, I don't have a scale so I don't know my weight..(i don't want to know...)

This really are completely off because they don;t take into consideration body shape, and bone structure nor that muslce weighs 4 times more then fat. Someone may weigh 180lbs for example and be very slim and fit yet their bmi would appear very high because of the amount of pounds.
