I found this website that uses your pants size along with weight and height to give your BMI. I believe this is much more accurate.

I am 137 lbs and am given BMI of 26 or so with the usual BMI calculations.

Using pants size I am 25.1 which is .02 away from the healthy 24.9 I am shooting for!!

    Wow, that makes a huge difference! Here, my BMI is 23, the webmd site gives me a BMI of 20.
