[spikeycat]

Thick I know but can anyone tell me? Also, 5ft 4" in metres.....ta x

63.6kg, 1.625m

thanks, is the weight in propotion to height?

I think so, I know I'm 5'5" and weighed 10 stone for ages & fitted into a size 12.

That gives you a BMI of just over 24 which is absolutely fine.

OMG if I looked at BMI I might just despair.

how does one calculate bmi? and what are the good ranges?

20-25 is ok less than 20 underweight see here

Can't seem to access the link. Is the bbc website down?

I am .26 overweight

BMI 26.93. Must stop eating chips and chocolate!!

Got in.. Now why did I do that? I knew it would depress me....

Well i have just worked out if i loose a pound i will be healthy so i'll just have a poo, no chance of a stroke then

All a bit silly really isn't it? I mean, how can they know how much my bones weigh? How much my boobs weigh?

I've just worked out that even when I was 21, a size 12, and fighting fit (literally as was really into martial arts) I still had a BMI of over 24. How silly is that? I was super fit without an ounce of fat on me.

PS Still get upset by this wort of thing though

BR - that's coz muscle actually weighs more than fat. Anyway you don't have to be BMI 20 to be fighting fit - I think a lot of girls set unrealistically low weight targets at the bottom of the healthy range. I suspect tho that most people can be quite confident that the extra weight is fat rather than muscle - I know I can!

Don't get upset, you know yourself how you feel, i want to loose weight without a chart telling me. When you were younger it must have been muscle making you weigh more, do you not fancy taking up martial arts again?

fairyfly, that made me giggle about having a poo! The only reason I asked is that I am filling out an application form where it asked for the info. Trying to be good as well, left ds1 (18mnths) and ds2 (12 weeks) in the creash (SP) yesterday while I went for a swim - aching all over today

Had thought about taking up martial arts again, but no time really. I used to do about 10 traiing sessions a week.....Anyway, far too old for anyone to take me seriously (although I can still do the splits!)

Have started being good and going to the Gym once a week and am doing 'mumsnet Mamas' weigh-ins, but to be honest, even if I reach my target weight, I'll still be above the reccomended BMI. Suppose I could cut my boobs off!!

PS I always go to the toilet before weighing myself!!
