Body Wellness: Body Mass Index

I finally looked up this formula. Maybe I knew it long ago and don't remember. Anyway, it is:

WEIGHT IN LBS
DIVIDED BY
HEIGHT IN INCHES SQUARED
TIMES
703

A "healthy range" is 18.5 to 24.9 BMI, but if I were 18.5, I would be 146. I would be anorexic! I don't have a small frame though (ALTHOUGH, the rough estimate of putting your fingers around your wrist puts me in the small frame range, but that is ridiculous!)

Good new is that I am in that healthy range! YEAH!
