BMI (Body Mass Index)

Just realized that in my previous "stats" post I forgot to list my BMI. Here is a chart about how BMI is calculated:



My BMI is currently 38.8, clearly placing me in the "obese" category. According to the Centers for Disease Control, a healthy weight for my height would be between 118 and 159 lbs. I honestly don't remember the last time I weighed under 160lbs... maybe freshman year of college.

I haven't yet set my "goal weight"... but I'm sure it will be around the 140-150 lb range. Its hard to imagine that I would need to lose approximately 100 lbs to reach that goal!
