I use the wii fit for weighing..which I love..

But I see on MFP.. once I get to 136.7 I'll be in healthy bracket (YAY)

But I was looking today on wii fit.. As of today I'm at 136.9 well still there is a good space till I get to healthy. Looks to be its probably at 136.0 but not sure.. which should I believe when it comes to when i'm in the healthy bracket

    that is such a small difference I would think it doesn't matter...but I don't know that much about BMI stuff so hopefully you get some better answers.

    I just had to post though since I use my Wii Fit to weigh as well :bigsmile:

    That says I'm over weight..

    that my BMI is 25.04

    but then it says

    normal range: 102-137 wouldn't I be in the normal range?

    Well, to be accurate just use the formula. Height (in inches) squared. Then divide your weight (in pounds) by that #. Then multiple by 703.

    My example:

    67 in x 67 in= 4489.

    131 lbs / 4489= .029182485

    .029182485 x 703= 20.51

    MFP has my BMI at 20.5. So pretty accurate I would say. ;) But I guess the bracket issue is still a concern. Lol!

    Considering that BMI is just a general gauge, I wouldnt worry about such a small difference.

    My ideal weight for me, is around 205, I am 5'11, which would put my BMI at the high end of Overweight. to get down to what would be considered 'healthy normal weight' I would need to be below 178, which is a 27lb difference!

    Any difference between the two results are offset by your fat / muscle ratio anyway.

    My ideal weight according to MFP is 101.2 - 136.7 lbs... so I'm almost in that range :) but my main goal is 115
