That's more like it - very nice!

I don't know how you will receive this news but the medical establishment raised the number to 40BMI because so many people are massively obese.

This means that 600lbs is the new 500lbs. You've got some serious eating to do next year to earn back your 3 times over obesity crown.

44.1

36.6 I tossed out my scale a few years back and my weight seemed to have evened out. Until this winter when I noticed my pants getting smaller. Turns out I added a couple more inches to my midsection and am now comfortably obese in the “obesity 2” category.

28.1

Can't wait until it says obese! Getting closer and closer!

40.7 morbidly obese

76... off the chart lol

I actually have no clue how to measure it but I'm most likely pretty small though.

BMI is inexact for it's intended purpose for perhaps obvious reasons, and it should hopefully be obvious when I tell you what the formula is.

BMI = (lbs * 703) / ( (inches of height) ^ 2 )

Supposedly, BMI was originally metric so the formula is even simpler, though I don't recall that formula. So, assuming your profile information is correct..

(210 * 703) / (71 * 71) = 147,630 / 5,041 = BMI of ~29.29.


It can also be used in reverse, too.

(Target BMI * (inches of height) ^ 2) / 703 = target weight. So for example..

(30 * 71 * 71) / 703 = ~215.1 lbs

That suggests if you gain about 6 lbs, you'd have a BMI of 30, the minimum number the CDC considers within the range of obesity.


It's fun in the context of feederism, but that's about it since it's so inexact. It's useless when you consider there's muscley bodybuilder types, and it's beyond useless for women during pregnancy.
