You need to have both measurements in either imperial or metric, then google BMI CALCULATOR and an interactive calculator will come up. My maths is crap, so I won't attempt to do it for you.

You can get a BMI chart from your doctor or a nutritionist. There is even one on the internet somewhere.

deleted_user 11/12/2007

Only person that can tell you think is a doctor or an online BMI calculator.

Which puts you are at a thin BMI.

deleted_user 11/12/2007

Yeah, you're thin and don't need to lose. I hope you are not trying.

deleted_user 11/12/2007

BMI= weight in kilos/height squared
eg.
56/(1.65 times 1.65)
also in depends on what country you are in for what is considered the norm. for instance australias is lower than americas, because statistics say more americans are overweight than australians. so therefore if their BMI were too low no body would fit into it everybody would be obese. hope that helped. ps in australia youd be normal weight, as in healthy weight :> enjoy

deleted_user 11/12/2007
