Body Mass Index (BMI) BMI Calculator

BMI stands for Body Mass Index

This is a numerical value of your weight in relation to your height. BMIs are good indicators of healthy or unhealthy weights for adult men and women, regardless of body frame size. A BMI of less than 25 indicates a healthy weight. A BMI of less than 18.5 is considered underweight. A BMI between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight. A BMI of 30 or higher indicates obesity.

Excess weight increases the heart’s work.
It also raises blood pressure and blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels and lowers HDL (good) cholesterol levels. It can make diabetes more likely to develop, too. Losing as few as 10 pounds can lower your heart disease risk.

To calculate your BMI:

Type your height and weight into the calculator.

Select a status option if you’re under 20 years old, highly trained/athletic, pregnant or breastfeeding. If one of these situations applies to you, the BMI may not be the best method of assessing your risk from overweight or obesity.

The benefits of maintaining a healthy weight go far beyond improved energy and smaller clothing sizes. By losing weight or maintaining a healthy weight, you are also likely to enjoy these quality-of-life factors too.

Fewer joint and muscle pains
Greater ability to join in desired activities
Better regulation of bodily fluids and blood pressure
Reduced burden on your heart and circulatory system
Better sleep patterns
More effective metabolism of sugars and carbohydrates
Reduced risk for heart disease and certain cancers
Your BMI is a good indicator of whether you’re at a healthy or unhealthy weight. Find your BMI and what it means with our handy BMI Calculator. From www.heart.org

wait how do i find out what my bmi is? do i get to calculate it on this website? I just logged on and am new to this whole website

18.2- Underweight. I am not under weight though. You have to get a real bady fat scan to know the exact amount of fat.

25.2 bmi working to get the baby weight down 138lbs need to loose 20 lbs

BMI 18.5 alright!

I am not a huge fan of BMI as a true gauge of healthy body. I was on the high end of normal last year when I had 6% body fat and was in the best shape of my life. It doesnt take into account any muscle mass or body composition.

29.8, which is why I am eating Kashi cereals for breakfast. Working to bring it down.
I’ve lost 14 lbs so far, and my goal is to lose 30 more.

I really like the BMI calculator, I feel like this is better guide to healthy living than a random number we pick in our heads! I love these challenges!

22.5

i have a BMI of 21.3 which equals to normal.

My BMI is 29.5 I knew it would be high, but am accepting the challenge to lower it.

22.6 = normal range. Last time I tracked it was considerably higher than that. =-)

BMI, YOUR’RE GOING DOWN!!!

My first day joining the BMI challenge—I’m really excited to get into something different. I’m also setting a goal of running a 5K, so this combination is going to be wonderful for me!

Wow to my BMI. I knew it though. I’m working towards getting it lower. It’s only a matter of time.

BMI looks normal, but I’m working to improve it for the next few months

Was thrilled to find out that my BMI was in the normal range (although at the highest end), so I’m going to lower it!

Was thrilled to find out my BMI was in the normal range! I really expected, based on how short I am, that I would be higher than I was. I am not at the low end of the range, but I believe that I can be!

I calculated my BMI today and find that I am in the normal range. I have been working out, carefully portioning my food, working on eating heathier food, etc. so I’m happy to find that effort working for me. :)

I had my son 8 months ago, so I expected my BMI to be higher, but it really wasn’t. I guess it doesn’t take into account the extra skin that I now have on my stomach, which makes me feel like I’m not in as good of shape.

I checked my BMI, and it came up as lower than expected. I’ve been dieting since November and have lost 35 lbs so far, so it’s good to see it go down. I definitely want it in a normal range before the end of the year! :)

I’m 5’ 9” 140 lbs. = BMI of 20.7. I don’t understand how anyone can have a BMI as low as 16 or 17 and not be underweight?? Based on my height, to have a BMI of 16.2, I’d have to weigh 110!! At 5’ 9” that would be skeletal!

I’m within normal range however id like it to be lower. Looks like I will be walking to work today :)

doing any speed, hill, or tempo runs?

Haha yay i’m normal for my height! I’d still like to tone up and improve my endurance when I run.

My BMI is 18.4. According to the experts I’m underweight. I think they’re full of it. I definitely don’t share that opinion.

I am a 23 year old male, I have been eating organic foods, especially kashi for like two years, i weigh 136lbs and i am 5’7, my bmi is 21.3, I am proud of myself for eating healthier and exercising. I feel as good as i did when i was 12 years old. :)

16.2

My BMI is 21…normal for my height. I lost weight over the past two years and have definitely began eating much healthier. Now my goal is strength…working on building that muscle!

Ahh! Way too high

My BMI is…
19.7

but all the weight is fat, no muscle anywhere frowny. :(

My BMI is 21.6.

i’m in normal range.

Kashi helps me keep a healthy lifestyle. It makes me feel good inside as well as outside.

i’m in the normal range but would like to be a little lower. 15 more minutes on the treadmill please!

My BMI is 26.5 for being 5”6.5 i am just barely over. Need to make myself a challenge to run the stairs 3 times a week here at work. Then also go to the gym.

Wow! That’s a wake-up call. Glad I have already started a diet and have lost 8 pounds. Only 30 to go.

17.0 not too bad. under, but not by too much

BMI of 24.4—goal is 22. Here we go!

My BMI is 26.6 (I’m 5’8”) I had gastric by-pass 6 years ago and lost 158 pounds. This year is about me first then my family. So far so good! My goal BMI is 22. Good eating to all.

My BMI is 27.2 (I’m 5’8”) and my short term goal is 25.5. Long term is 24.

My BMI is 22.9; would like it to be lower. Still have a few pounds of baby weight left over from having my daughter 15 months ago.

Starting at 28.8; goal is 26.5

My BMI is 28.4; my goal is to lower it to ~25.
