Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of your body mass and the calculation

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of your body mass and the calculation is based on your weight and length. BMI is used all over the world to measure if a person's weight is within a certain range that is considered "normal". The range for normal weight is rather wide and this is a good thing because our body compositions can be very different even for people in the normal weight zone. You should calculate your BMI to get a feeling for if you're overweight or not. BMI should however be used with a bit of caution and definitely not as the only measurement when checking your level of obesity. You already have a fairly good idea about your body and if you're overweight or not, BMI can help point out just how much. But there is a problem. If you have a lot of muscle mass on your body and measure your BMI you can actually get an indication that you're over weight because muscles weight more than fat. To calculate your BMI you only take into account your length and weight. If the weight comes from fat or muscle tissue is not taken into consideration, this is a great disadvantage for this method. Therefore only use BMI as one tool of many to measure weight loss progress and level of obesity. However, if you're not the guy that is very muscular and you get a BMI indicating you're overweight, then that's very likely true and you need to take action and do something about it. There are many free online tools that you can use to calculate your BMI. Find one and and check your results. Compare the result to the list below. If you'd prefer to manually calculate your BMI here's the formula for pounds and inches: BMI = (Weight in pounds / (Height in inches * Height in inches))*703 and for kilograms and meters BMI = Weight in kilograms / (Height in meters * Height in meters) Score < 18.5 Underweight 18.5 - 25 Normal weight 25 - 30 Over weight > 30 Obesity As mentioned before you need to consider how your body looks and how you feel as well.
