1. Stand naked in front of your mates and canvass opinions
2. You mean your BMI? Well you can go to www.seventeen.com click on Health then go to BMI. All you have to do is type in your height and weight!
3. bmi doesn't measure your body fat. Your local gym may do it if they think you're gonna join up. My monitor only cost £5 from llyods pharmacy
4. http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/calories/calorie_counter.htm. u mite b able 2 check it on there
5. Nope.
6. Yes, look in a mirror. If your image is all rippled and distorted, but its not one of those joke fun fair mirrors, you're too fat.
7. I think some larger stores of Boots have weighing machines that do that for you as well. Or your local gym...
8. go to your doctor and get a full check up and some tests and he/she can tell you gd luck
9. In many cities in a pharmacy you will see a machine that allows you to weigh yourself measure your % fat. Cost: 1 or 2 euro.
10. Your BMI (body mass index) is derived from body mass related to stature to evaluate body weight. Its calculated by: Body mass (kg)/Stature (m x2). EG. If you are 1.75m tall and weigh 97.1kg, your BMI would be: =97.1kg/(1.75m x 1.75m) =97.1/3.0625 =31.7. A desirable BMI is between 20 and 25 for adults. Anything over this increases the risk of the development of hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease. Overweight is classed as a BMI of over 25 while obesity represents a BMI of over 30. However, BMI should not be used by athletes as the increased muscle mass will give a false reading. BMI also does not apply to growing children or frail, sedentary elderly adults, or pregnant women.
11. Nope, need a caliper test or the like
