I am curious as to how many of us actually fit in the healthy/normal weight range on the Body Mass Index. Check yours here and let me know. Also, can you tell me how old you are? I did this before and the only asnwer I got were from 12-16 years old girls! Thanks.

Hey, I normally wouldn't respond to this... but you said you only got young girls :) I'm a 16 year old boy and I just went to some calculator online... it said my BMI is 18.5.. I'm 5 10 and 130 pounds,, Like to exercise and play sports,,, Don't be concerned if you don't fit the index --> I was almost anorexic skinny a few years ago, and it said I was overweight (I think).. so I'm not sure how frequently they update the standards on the BMI.. Good luck!

I am going into the 8th grade, my measurments were taken in May of 2007, my BMI is 17.3, that puts me in the 26 percentile. For teens my age that is considered a healthy weight, the most you could weigh at my age and height without being over weight is 137 pounds, the least is 93 pounds.

before i got pregnant, i was right on the high end of the "normal" range. (155 lbs. at 5'6") ...before i lost weight thru diet and exersise, i was 186 lbs and that was considred to be "obese"! Agh!! Looks like I am going to have to do all that work again, but at least I will have a little baby to keep me motivated :)
