    1. you were in boots
    2. BMI is no indication of if you're at a healthy weight or not.


    weight and bodyfat percentage along with height might give people a bit more luck in helping.

    Knowing your body fat will allow you to understand how much lean body mass you have and will give you a better chance of knowing your overall weight goal.

    As a woman, you want your body fat to be between 10% and 32%. Anywhere in that range is healthy.

    An "acceptable" range of BF% for women is between 25 and 32%. A woman who is in good fitness will be 21-24% BF, athletes have 14-20% BF, and if you eliminate all fat but what is absolutely essential, you can get down as low as 10-12%, depending on your body.

    One of the more accurate ways is getting someone to use body fat calipers. Some places can do water immersion or dexa scan. There are also hand held machines (bioimpedance) that can do it, but they are the least accurate.
