The formula is:

Weight (KG)
___________
Height (m) x Height (m)

Under 20 is under weight, between 20-25 healthy, and over 25 is over weight.

You can certianly use the charts available on the various internet search engines to establish your BMI. I suggest that you do not use this as your only quide to evaluating your best body weight as it provides such a wide variance of acceptance and thus creates an inacurrate perception of what a normal healthy weight should be. The average person would fall under the category of "overwieght" based on the calculations derived from BMI. Not what I consider a reliable or acceptable guide to base what direction you should take.

theres a calculator on netdoctor.co.uk
but I wouldn't put too much emphasis on this alone, body shape varies, you can be a big person but perfectly fit and healthy it might be your genes etc.
