    This formula is not accurate at all and would even be dangerous. I have been 3 kg above the low end of the healthy weight according to this formula... in college when I couldn't really afford to eat and my ribs stuck out.

    yay for me! haha I wonder if they changed it just because people on average are fatter now? Make us feel less bad.. :laugh:

    -My weight range is 120-163.2 for someone who is 67.5 which to me is about reasonable. Lord knows I will never be anywhere near that 120 (thank God!) but it ranges consistent with my goal weight of 145ish.
