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.

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

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
