Everyone has heard of body mass index (BMI) and except in muscular people it takes ones height and produces an appropriate weight range...
Normal is considered 18.5-25... Over 30 is obese.
Calculating BMI is relatively straight forward... Where W is weight in pounds and H is height in inches then (703 is a conversion factor from the metric system):
[W ÷ (H)2] x 703 = BMI
Well given that my BMI was 40.8 at my initial visit I decided to figure out what my weight should be based on the BMI calculation... For that I applied some of my high school algebra to produce the following equation:
W=(BMI ÷ 703) x (H)2
Given that I am 6'10" or 82 inches... Here are the various range boundaries...
| BMI | Weight | |
|---|---|---|
| Current | 40.8 | 390 |
| Obese | 30 | 287 |
| High Normal | 25 | 239 |
| Low Normal | 18.5 | 177 |
By a strict definition I would have to get to 239 lbs to no longer be considered overweight...
