lilbearzmom 584 Posted March 30, 2013 Great job! It's great to move out of that bracket! I am so happy to be just "severely overweight". Sounds so weird but true! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kimmy1813 77 Posted March 31, 2013 Tannak, you'll need to look at a BMI chart....it's based on height and weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
playlikeworldchamps 595 Posted April 1, 2013 30 is obese. 35 is severely obese and 40+ is morbidly obese. you can use a chart or roughly: 702*(weight in pounds)/(height in inches squared) so 279 for 5 foot 10 is (702*279)/4900 = 40 the 702 is there because BMI originally in metric units and the 702 used when doing lbs and inches instead.

So when I get to aBMI of 39 I will no longer be morbidly obese!! I am getting close!! Can't wait!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
