The Body Mass Index (BMI) formula was developed by Belgium statistician Adolphe Quelet(1796-1874), and was known as the Quetelet Index. BMI is also referred to as 'body mass indicator'. BMI is an internationally used measure of obesity.
How to calculate BMI (BMI formula) - for users who wish to manually calculate BMI we have provided a bmi formula for both imperial & metric measurements.
Body mass index calculation is very straightforward. Calculating body mass index requires only two measurements, height & weight.
Imperial BMI Formula
The imperial bmi formula accepts weight measurements in pounds & height measurements in either inches or feet.1 foot = 12 incesinches² = inches * inches
Table: Imperial BMI Formula
BMI =( kg/m² )
(weight in pounds * 703 )
————————————
height in inches²
Metric Imperial BMI Formula
The metric bmi formula accepts weight measurements in kilograms & height measurements in either cm's or meters.1 meter = 100cmsmeters² = meters * meters
Table: Metric BMI Formula
BMI =( kg/m² )
weight in kilograms
————————————
height in meters²
Calculate BMI & Find Weight Status
Table: BMI Weight Status Categories
BMI
Weight Status
Below 18.5 Underweight
Normal 18.5 -24.9
Overweight 25 - 29.9
Obese 30 & Above
If you have calculated BMI use the table above to find your weight status. Different nations & organizations use different BMI ranges to classify weight status. Our table is in keeping with the internationally recognized, US Department of Health & Human Services weight status categories.

Quick Ways To Lose Weight
In today's world EVERYONE wants to know the quickest way to lose weight. The only problem with the quick ways is they AREN'T safe at all. In the end you will most likely gain all the weight back, and then some. This is because most of these diets that claim they are the quickest ways, are starvation diets. That's a big no no.
So I'm going to share with you the safe way,
Plan: For everything to work well you always need a plan right? The same goes with losing weight. You need a solid plan that you can follow day by day so you won't go off track.
Diet Plan: First of all, you have to cut out soft drinks. Diet soft drinks are okay but it's still not recommended. I personally prefer to drink water, and just water. But if you don't like the taste of it you can add crystal light packs, those taste great. You should be drinking 8 glasses of water a day, which equals to 64oz of water a day. Cut out all fried foods, fast foods, red meat, anything white(bread, potatoes, rice etc.) Include more fruits, veggies, good carbs(100% wheat), good fats, and protein(chicken, fish, nuts)
Exercise Plan: Exercise is a must for the quickest way to lose weight. You can't just change your diet, you need to be active too.
Cardio Exercises: Walking, Running, Dancing, Rock Climbing, Swimming, Bicycling, Aerobics, to list a few. There literally tons of different cardio exercise you could do. Come up with a schedule, you should exercise at least 4-5 days a week and at least 30 minutes each time. Remember the key is to be consistent, if you exercise for a week then don't do it the next week, its completely useless. Keep up with it every day and every week and you should start seeing results quickly
Yup that's it, no magic pills or supplements. It's simple as eating the correct foods in the correct portions and staying active. I'll admit it wont be easy, but with motivation and consistence, you could lose as much weight as you want.
I used this story to help motivate me, it's amazing that some other people's stories can impact you so much

How To Lose Weight Quick
I hate my ugly tummy fat. There must be a simple way to get rid of it without starvation diets and heavy exercise. There must be a simple way to get rid of it fast. So what is the best way to lose fat quickly.
It sort of just sticks out like a pot. I suppose that is why they call it a pot belly. When I sit down it sort of oozes out in a roll and hangs down on my sides. Horrible, ugly tummy fat. Just pure ugly fat. All caused by a lifetime of indulgence I suppose. I do love my chocolate cake and just about any other sweet thing you can mention. What about black forest cake or pavlova.
Now I am paying the price. This ugly fat. And that is all it is. Just fat. I have been doing some research and I don't really need to lose weight per se although that will naturally go if I can get rid of this fat. If I can say just target this fat and get rid of it then I will be naturally losing weight if you know what I mean. So how do I target just this fat and get rid of it. What is the best way to lose fat quickly.
I don't want one of those fancy diets where I can lose lots of weight real easy but it just turns out to be water weight or muscle weight etc. and not really moving any actual fat. Because those sorts of diets usually just make you fatter in the end because all the weight just comes back on. I want something to just target this fat roll of mine. To get rid of it quickly and easily and get rid of it for good. No more coming back on. There must be a way.
Well, I have still been researching and I have discovered that this nutrition stuff is a huge subject. I suppose that is why so many of us have been caught with crook diets that have done us no good. We just don't understand the mechanics of it all. Well it is a complex subject. What we need is a system that has been tried and true and works and puts us on the way to slim trim and happiness.
Wouldn't that be nice. Well, I ask again. There must be a best way to lose fat quickly out there.
In my research I discovered that our bodies are really complex things in regard to nutrition. We knew that but the nitty gritty is interesting. After all, when we eat that chocolate cake that our body doesn't need, we need it because it tastes good, our body will say to itself. What a waste. A lovely piece of chocolate cake that I don't need right now but I may need it later so I better save it. Where shall I save it. What about that lovely layer of fat on the tummy. After all, that is where last weeks sponge pudding is stored and the week before was those lovely dumplings. You know what I mean.
So our body is not stupid. All we have to do is train it, or trick it into thinking a bit differently and we will notice a vast difference in what happens to that chocolate cake. We will need to eat a bit more than we do now but in smaller lots and more often during the day. At least we are not going to be hungry. Might have to adjust a little what we eat on all these extra meals but apparently this is just one of the ways we can start to reverse our body shape in regard to that ugly fat. How about two pounds in a week. That is fat gone forever and we can keep at it till we are that perfect lean trim thing we all long for.
It sounds good to me and of course there is a lot more to know but my word count has gone crazy again. I will add a link here so you can read the whole article. Enjoy!
