BMI =\n( kg/m² )(weight in pounds * 703 )\n————————————\nheight in inches²\n\n- or take your weight (in kilograms),  \nand divide by your height (in meters) squared.\n\nBelow 18.5Underweight\n18.5 -24.9Normal\n25 - 29.9Overweight\n\nLean Body Weight (men) = (1.10 x Weight(kg)) - 128 ( Weight2/(100 x Height(m))2)\nLean Body Weight (women) = (1.07 x Weight(kg)) - 148 ( Weight2/(100 x Height(m))2)\n30 & AboveObese

Relax. \n\nWeight loss (like weight gain) is a slow and gradual process. One of the worst mistakes a dieter can do is to stop eating, or throw it all back up. When this happens, your body goes into a crisis mode and starts to store fat and burn muscle, leaving you still flabby with no muscles. \n\nThe best way to lose weight is through healthy eating and exercise. Weight loss is simple math, consume less calories than you burn and you will lose weight. \n\nBe patient and continue to push yourself physically. If your current regiment of exercising is becoming too easy, increase the distance when you jog, or increase the number of endurance exercises you do.

Is       %\n--- = ---\nOf    100\n\nThat is the popertion. If you are trying to find what a percent of a number is, that is what you use.\n\nFor example: 15 is what percent of 65?\n\nthis is how you would set it up. \n1. Find your is. That would be 15 because that # is always a part of the whole.( If this number is not given, you put an X in that spot.)\n2. Find your of. That would be 65 because this # is the total amount. The number that is the whole. (If that number is not given, put and X in that spot.)\n3. Find your percent. In this question, that is what we are looking for. We don't know the percentage so we put an X there. (If a percent is given you put that number in the % spot.)\n\nThen you cross multiply. YOu multiply the *of* by the *%*, and multiply the *is* by the 100.\n\nThat will give you an equation. In this example you would have:\n15          X\n---- = ----\n65     100\n\nThen you would have 65X = 1500.\nThen divide the 65X and the 1500 by 65. Then you would have:\nX = 23. 076923.... Then you would say that 15 is 23% of 65.\n\nThe END!

Actually, your BMI is 24.6, which is perfectly normal. I used this page to calculate it: http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmi-m.htm\n\nIf you have a percentage, it's probably your percentage body fat. According to this site: http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/body_weight/body_fat/percentage.htm\nyou are slightly under-fat (see the scale at the bottom of the page).\n\nHope that helps!

As far as I know, people should find their ideal body weight not measured by traditional tables, but according to how you look and feel.  That's what really matter.  For example, I'm 5'3 and the Weight Table at the gym says that I should weigh 135, hell no.  I would look sick having that weigh. Already I reached my personal goal 165lbs.  I look and feel great.  Thank you very much!

Your BMR, or basal metabolic rate (metabolism), is the energy (measured in calories) expended by the body at rest to maintain normal bodily functions. \n\nEach Person has a different Metabolism.  It all depends on Male/Female and current weight.  Your metabolism decides how many calories you burn doing nothing.  1st I would have to know your sex weight and height to tell you how many calories you burn doing nothing. Then you figure in the 500 calories that you have already burn. \n\nHere is a website where you can input all of your info and it will calculate it for you.  Just remember 3500 calories = a pound.  So take that into consideration when losing weight.\nhttp://www.internetfitness.com/calculators/bmr.htm

Sounds like a homework problem.  Not going to give you the answer, but I will tell you how to get it.  A percentage is a part of the whol.  In order to get the percentage, you have to divide the part by the whole.  For instance, 80/100 would be 80%.  Therefore 80 is 80% of 100.  That one is simple, but the concept remains the same regardless of the problem.  That means you simply take the part (42.5 million) and divide it by the whole amount to get the percentage.

easiest formula for calculating ideal body weight for adult women.\nIt is called the Metropolitan method.\n\nFor the first 5 feet of height count 100#, then add 5# for every\nadditional inch of height. This will give you your ideal weight.\nThen there is a variance of 10% each way and you still are in the Ideal body weight range.\n\nExample: Person is 5'6"tall\n100# (first five feet)30#(5# each additional foot)\nIdeal body weight=130# (+/-(10%)\nThe ideal body weight range for this woman would be:\n117-143 lbs.

BMI isn't the same thing as body fat.  \nI would trust a scale to tell me my BMI as long as it knew how tall I was, because it's a simple math formula. But body fat percentage depends on other things than your height and weight.

you need to find how many calories the exercise burn, find your resting metabolic rate, subtract 500 calories from that, 500 calorie reduction cause weight loss of 1 lb, but be sure to take in min of 1200 calories per day for healthy food and protein,  and half you body weight in oz. per day of water, protein is your energy source when exercising if you do not have proper protein intake you body will burn the muscle convert to fat and use that for energy, if you take in protein your body will burn the fat to help process the protein thus leaving you lean and not fluffy.

Do you mean body mass including muscle mass? The best method for weightloss is increased physical activity (obviously), with a balance of cardio and weighttraining. More muscle inherently burns more calories per muscle-pound (about 50 for each pound per day, I believe). Cardio without weighttraining will help to lose weight, but because muscles are soft problem areas, especially thighs and the stomach in women, will still appear soft and flabby.\n\nCoupled with a BALANCED diet (lean protein from meats is important), it should be easy. But there's no quick-fix method for losing body mass except surgery, and that's not particularly safe either.

Body Mass and fat percentage compared to height. They just find people of different heights and body masses, determine who's healthy and set that as a goal.
