Are you overweight?

The bathroom scale doesn't give the correct perception of whether you are overweight or otherwise. Your body mass index (BMI) gives a clearer picture of the weight range you should be in.

The recommended BMI range is 18.5 to 24.9. This range is considered to be the most conducive to good health.

To facilitate the calculation of your BMI, you should know your weight and height.

For easy reference, 1 kg = 2.2 pounds while 1 metre = 3.3 feet. Most KBSM educated people only know the metric system. Correct me if I'm wrong. :-)

Click here to check out whether you are underweight, overweight, grossly overweight or just right!

Whatever it is, as long as you're comfortable, who cares about BMI!

I love Mika and his Big Girl (You Are Beautiful) video.

haha.. quite confusing..

those singers from taiwan.. they are 160cm + but weigh only 43kg..

sure underweight right? i used to think with my height (163cm) i should be around 45kg like that. like those singers. haha..

oh btw, i went to california fitness (gyms are getting popular here) and they did a test. the result shows that i'm underweight and should be weight 55kg. LOL!!! that's like 10 kgs more than what i wanted to weigh. hahahaha

though weight should be 55kg, my FAT has to go down!!! yesss full of FATS!!!! haha.. and undeveloped muscles!

scored only 75% for fitness.
