Default If I were seven feet seven...

... I'd have a normal BMI!

Sadly, I'm 5'5", so to quote the immortal Garfield the cat, "I'm not overweight, I'm undertall" !!!!!!

Good suggestion. I'll go put my bmi in my signature right now.

I'm 5'5" tall. I wouldn't have a weight problem if I was only taller. I don't know who said this first.

Previously I had to be very tall to get my bmi down.

I'm 5' 2.5", so they round up on me.

Now, I can wear the 5" spike heels again!

I am 5'7.75 or 5'8" tall. With my weight I would have to be the Statue of Liberty to be okay <grin>. BMI of 55. Yeah, I REALLY needed this. Christina, you are really turning into a little cutie aren't you? I can say that, I am old! Oh yeah, my saying is "the curves are still there, they just widened the road".
