Ugh...I don't WANT to know it !! 
At my semi annual checkup last week I measure out at 6 feet even and 215 lbs. That's a BMI of 29.2
I still have a copy of the physical for my Air Force enlistment in 1970. It has me at 6 feet 1 inch and 192 lbs. That's a BMI of 25.3. So in 47 years I've shrunk an inch and gained 23 lbs.
An even more important measurement than BMI is your height to waist ratio. If you are 6 ft. tall, your waist should be no more than 36".
BMI stands for BODY MASS INDEX and is determined simply by your height and weight. Google BMI and calculate your own BMI Nothing to worry about by checking it.
People tell me: "Google this." or "Google that."I don't Google anything anymore, because I upgraded to AOL SEARCH, a more comprehensive search engine.hdh

I'm sure your doctor is happy with that attitude, mine wants to see numbers. Do you play golf or solitaire?Lie about your height and you will be right on.
I just know I'm not fat and that's good enough for me.
Both. When I visit there is a scale there. I give him my weight. He marks it on the record and that's that. I weigh the same as when I played high school football.I'm sure your doctor is happy with that attitude, mine wants to see numbers. Do you play golf or solitaire?
Mine is 40.
But I'm a big muscular dude.

This morning I got a wild hair and decided to test my max on the bench press.
I managed to get 92.5 KG which is 203.9 lbs. And that's with a full pause at my chest, no bouncing.[/QUOTE
Same here, Trade. At the age of 72, I am 6'4" and 195 and do reps on the bench at 200, plus lots of lat pull downs, dumbbell rows, ab rollers, etc. over in the Home Gym. Here at the ranch the chores require lots of upper body strength and the bench does its job very well. Looks like my BMI is 23.7.

22.3.
Is it? Why thank you! At 5'2" any weight gain is very noticeable. Thank goodness for T'ai Chi and swimming laps.That's just about perfect.
