    I am currently maintaining my weight for a while (taking a diet break), before deciding whether to lose a few more pounds. I'm female, 5ft 5" and 10st 7lb; making my current bmi 24.4 (top end of healthy). But at my highest weight, when I joined mfp, for the same bmi, I would have needed to be 6ft 6" (13" taller). When my bmi was actually 33.1!

    I worked this out for fun but it has helped me see just how far I have come.

    5' 10" for me too! I am 5'4" and topped out at 145/150.

    That’s actually a healthy weight range for 5’7”.

    I’m right between 5’7”-5’8” with a weight range 153-158 and have a healthy BMI

    I love Garfield. Now I want lasagna and a nap in a sunbeam.

    I have recently reached my healthy weight range. I still am going to lose some more weight, but not too much.

    At my heaviest I should have been 7'3". Now I should be 6'10". Ever so closer, maybe by this time next summer I'll be my currant height of 5'6".

    An awful lot taller than I am - 5'3 inches. I'd probably need to be the size of a linebacker.

    At my heaviest, I would have needed to be 235 cm to be a normal weight. Too lazy to convert to feet.

    ETA: decided to convert anyway.

    7 feet and 8.52 inches

    Reminds of of an episode of Cheers...

    *Norm walks into the bar*
    Everyone: NOORRRRM
    Woody or Coach (I forget): Whatcha up to Norm?
    Norm: My ideal weight if I were 11 feet tall.

    At my highest I'd need to be 6'6" to make it to a 24 BMI. Now It's need to be 5'7"ish to make 24.

    I'm 5'3" and I thought a 26 BMI wasn't so bad, but now it looks horrible :'(
