% The possible BMI categories are as follows: a BMI of less than 16.5
% indicates severe underweight, 16.5 to 18.5 is underweight, 18.5 to 25
% is normal, 25 to 30 is overweight. The Obese category range from 30-35
% (class I), 35-40 (class II), and over 40 is class III.

Hi, this is the BMI calculator.

Enter your weight (lbs), or type 0 for SI units:

140
Enter your height (ft):
6
You are normal

Posssible BMI ranges: < 16.5 well below underweight, 16.5-18.5

underweight, 18.5-25 normal, 25-30 overweight, > 30 obese
