Mine is 22 and it says I'm in the normal range but I still think I'm fat, I'm just curious what others feel about themself. Here is the site I used to figure it out, http://www.halls.md/body-mass-index/bmi.htm
It also tells you what percentile your in, I'm in the 40th for my age which is lower then average.

My BMI is also 22 and I don't think I'm overweight. My body fat percentage is 25% which is fine for a female.
However, another person with a BMI of 22 might have a higher or lower body fat percentage depending on their body frame and amount of muscle they have.
So it all depends on your body fat percentage. You could have yours checked to know for sure. For females, between 18%-28% body fat is a good place to be.

I am 5"2' and I am 27 BMI. I know that I am overweight, because for women anything over 24 is overweight. Please don't try to lose a bunch of weight if you don't need to. You'll just gain back even more if your body thinks you're starving it.

Mine is 15.9...I feel overweight, but logically I know I am not. I have an eating disorder. I am 28. 5'9" and below the 2nd percentile.

My BMI is about 17, and it said I was in the 9th percentile.
I think I'm fine for my height, which is 5'10".
