but also, look:
"Because the BMI is dependent only upon net weight and height, it makes simplistic assumptions about distribution of muscle and bone mass, and thus may overestimate adiposity on those with more lean body mass (e!.g!. athletes) while underestimating adiposity on those with less lean body mass (e!.g!. the elderly)!. For example Lance Armstrong was classified as "overweight" when he competed in the 1993 Tour de France!." -WikipediaWww@Answer-Health@Com

25!. If you lost another stone, you'd be down to 23, which would be fine!. (see <>)http://www!.betterhealth!.vic!.gov!.au/bhcv2!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
The Body Mass Index is the ratio of weight to height!. Your current BMI is 24!.9 which is the upper limit of normal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I don't know how much a stone is, but BMI is calculated as weight (in kg) divided by height (in metres) squared!.
kg/(m^2)Www@Answer-Health@Com
