    It comes to 33.9


    Underweight = <18.5
    Normal weight = 18.5–24.9
    Overweight = 25–29.9
    Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater



    So you fat. lol

    At 5'7", my BMI is 33, however my waist is well under the 40" threshold. Also, I work out, so a good amount is muscle. So, what does that mean? I, along with soooo many others, shouldn't be judged by BMI, as it's imperfect at best. Hell, even if I brought my bodyfat down to 8% my BMI would still be over 27, making me overweight according to that P.O.S. index.
     
    Diesel Dave and MiodnightFox Thank this.
