There was some discussion about healthy BMI's and how to calculate yours, so here is a link to a BMI calculator.

    Thanks! I hope this one factors age. The one I found did not. I will check. Of course, my almost 70 year old husband still has a healthier BMI than I do whether you factor his age or not! Mine is better than it was and today, I'm thankful for progress.

    Andrea-I don't think it did factor in age, I swear I have seen one that has though but wasn't able to find it yesterday. The website did have some articles with explanations that talked about differences for the ages so maybe that will be helpful.

    I did find this, but not sure on it's accuracy but it does factor in age
