21.2
to the poster who asked why "uch?":
I can't answer for everyone else, but I think I look too skinny. is it normal to feel too skinny at 21.2, assuming this is fairly accurate? though I really don't think it is, it doesn't take basic skeletal structure into account. for someone with a narrow frame, a lower weight is fine in proportion to height. but a person with a wider frame needs more weight to look healthy.

27.4 but I am very tall. Am trying desperately to get down to under 25. At that weight, I kow I look really good.
I got close recently, but then the weight just started to pile on again. This is the story of my life!!

I mean, if you are 5.2 and weigh, let's say 135 or your BMI is 24.7. If you are 5.9 and you weigh 165, you are 24.4. So I don't think height makes the difference when you calculate it with the BMI.

BMI takes into account height, so technically height doesn't make a difference. However, I think a very short person would look a lot heavier at my BMI, then I do with my extra height.
But yes, a BMI of 25 would be great

If you're a bit overweight it doesn't mean anything but yes, a 40 bmi does tell you something very important (that for your health you should lose weight).

I was asking, why is BMI important, as opposed to ones regular weight, whats the big deal with BMI?

Bmi takes height into consideration. 200 lbs may sound big but on a 6' woman it's nothing special. 120 can sound tiny but on a 5' woman it's also nothing special. That's why you need bmi.
