Body Mass Index
BMI graph

Legend
Your BMI: arrowtran
Explanation
Body Mass Index calculates how much body fat you have.
* Lean BMI means you have a low amount of body fat. If you are an athlete, this can be desirable. If you are not an athlete, a lean BMI can indicate that your weight may be too low which may lower your immunity. If your BMI and body weight are low, you should consider gaining weight by eating more food and exercising to increase your amount of muscle.
* Healthy BMI means you have a healthy amount of body fat for your age.
* Overfat means your amount of body fat is too high which puts you at risk for heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, gall bladder disease and some cancers. You should consider losing weight by eating less food and exercising to decrease your amount of body fat.
* If you are a trained athlete, your weight based on your measured percent body fat would be a better indicator of what you should weigh. If you entered a current percent body fat that is lean, you will not get a BMI calculation.
Waist to Hip Ratio
Ratio: 0.86 - Apple shape: increased health risk
Apple or pear shape
Explanation
This tells you where most of your body fat is located.
* Apple shape (a ratio of .80 or greater) means your body fat is located above your waist which indicates a higher health risk for diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and some cancers.
* Pear shape (a ratio of less than .80) means your body fat is located below your waist which indicates a lower health risk, but fat located in the lower half of the body may be harder to lose during weight loss.
i don't think i'm apple shaped though. i also put in that i'm 150 which may or may not be right, last time i weigh myself i was 143.. but i know i've gained a little back because my pants are tight(er).
