    My BMI is current 22.7... I'm aiming for around 20. But really, I don't pay that much attention to BMI since I am in normal. I'm instead concentrating on toning up! Paying attention to inches rather than lbs/bmi.

    i look just normal now, and i'm going for skinny look :) i'm not anorexic or too skinny, but i'm struggling to lose weight and it's ten times harder for me to lose 1 pound than for most of you :(

    actually just recalculated mine on a different website and its 25.4. my goal is to be in the middle of the healthy range so 22-23 would be nice. @stacey - many people on MFP would relate, you are here so things can only get better for you :)

    right now it's 19.8, but my weight goes up and down a lot, so it'll probably be 20+ when I weigh myself later :laugh:

    I don't really have a goal bmi... my goal weight is 100, so my bmi would be just under 18.5

    30. I'm considered very overweight according to BMI, even though I'm at 19% body fat.

    29.... working to change that but in all honesty bmi is stupid

    body fat % is more what it is about to me
    For example, a footy player can have 6% body fat and a crap load of muscle and be counted as "obese"

    At my highest weight of 215 pounds, my BMI was 33.7 - today, it is at 25.8. Still a long way to go, but feels good to have made progress!

    As others have pointed out, it's only a rough guide, and for very muscular people it can be misleading.

    Mine is currently hovering just over 25, and I'm aiming to get it under that. I don't have a specific target bmi, I go more by how my clothes fit.

    22.8 :)
    My goal is whatever it is when I'm happy to stop losing weight. I'm guessing around 19-20.

    A BMI of less than 19 is NOT healthy for a woman. Yours is way at the low end... and basically awesome.

    24.4 which is just inside the healthy range. However I will be going over this by putting on muscle. This is actually an inaccurate way to measure your health and weight.

    Here in Australia they are now leaning towards waist size over BMI.. Pretty much if you are between a certain measurement around the waist then you are at a high risk of diabetes. BMI is being frowned upon these days and the doctors in Australia or encouraging people to measure their waists rather than using this BMI Method.

    In my honest opinion I do not think anyone should be relying on a BMI reading... But listening to their body and getting the waist measurements down and just eating a much healthier lifestyle.

    here is the website that is trying to encourage us Aussies to become healthier.

    This to me is a much more realistic approach to this.
