Calculating BMI

Does anyone know a website that will calculate your BMI using measurements instead of just weight? I'm still considered obese even though I don't feel I look like it. I'm really close to being just overweight but I thought if I used my measurements too it might be more accurate.

That is what BMI is a function of weight vs. height. Do you mean Body Fat % (BF%%), as that takes into account fat vs muscle?0 -
BMI is 120 year old junk. Please don't use it.
Here's a good short article on it:

Body fat probably would be better, I'm not sure. I'll check out the websites you guys gave me. Thanks. I just know that I don't think I look obese so I was hoping to find something that would be a better indicator.0
