- BMI doesn't tell you anything about body fat. All it is is a ration between your height and weight. It's supposed to tell if you are obese or underweight based assuming you have "average" body fat and muscle mass. For most people, it's not a good indicator of body fat because it doesn't take into account your body shape or muscle weight.
- BMI Categories: Underweight = <18.5 Normal weight = 18.5-24.9 Overweight = 25-29.9 Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater ues a caliper to meassure body fat about 15 bucks
- AHH I KNOW THIS ONE!!! *Obtains book* BMI (Body Mass Index) Steps: 1: Multiply your weight in pounds by 703 2: Multiply your height in INCHES by itself 3: divide the first number by the second and then round to the nearest whole number. this is your body mass index. < 18.5: Under weight 18.5-24.9: healthy 25.0 - 29.9: overweight 30+ : Obese As for body fat, you have to do a rigorous test which include water and holding your breath for 5 minutes and only a select few places in the world actually do that test, but it is the best way to check body fat. P.S. a 23.69 is just in range of Healthy. But reading what I wrote above... you already knew that. P.P.S. You will probably gain more weight, going into an over weight stage because of puberty and it is going to be used to store energy for you to grow taller... incase you get into that stage and you try to exercise to get it off... its natural to be over weight at this age no matter what people say (being over weight and unhealthy is a different story... of course).
- Dont make it too complicated. Take a diet profile. It will tell you what your BMI is and exactly how much weight you want to lose in the time frame you want to lose it in. http://alfitness.com.au/onlinept/Initial_ProfileSelection.aspx
- Great post! I totally understand how you feel. I'm also trying to lose weight and I found this great product which is working for me (it's all 100% natural). You can check the website at http://www.be-happy-diet.us , I had a free trial and paid less than $5.00 shipping and handling. Best of luck!
- Hi, I've tried so many different diets in the last 10 years that I can say now, they don't work! A few months ago, I came across a great product for weight loss and like many others I was skeptical about it. But I really wanted to lose weight and I tried it (it's 100% natural). The results were excellent and I lost 20 pounds in 2 months. I felt fantastic and I dropped another 5 pounds safely. That's why I recommend you check this product at http://www.thin-quick.us where they have a free trial and you only pay $4.95 shipping and handling. Good luck!
- One thing that will help you lose weight: diet pills. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few until I found a great one that works (its all natural too!). You can go to http://www.fit-diet-fun.us and order you free trial, also you only pay $4.95 shipping and handling. Good luck!
