I know there are sites that can calculate it for you, but I don't need to know my BMI, I just want to know if anyone knows the formula to figure out the BMI. Thanks.
Update:Thanks, but i want the formula so I can figure it out myself.

Multiply your height in inches by itself (height in inches squared).
Divide your weight in pounds by the result of the first calculation.
Multiply the result by 703 to calculate your BMI.
BMI = [weight (lb) / height (in)2] x 703
you can calculate BMI in 2 ways
1 you take your weight in kilos and divide it by it by your height in meters, so if your say 68 kilos and 165 cm [1.65m] you would do 68 divided by [1.65] squared which would = 24.98. you divide your height in centimeters by 100 to get the height in meters.
2 your weight divided by your height in inches the times it by 703.
so 152 lbs in weight and 5'5" [65"] would be
150 divided by [65] squared] times by 703 = 24.96.
below 18.5 your underweight
18.5 - 24.9 normal
25.0 - 29.9 overweight
30.0 and above obese

Run 1 mile every other day. It'll do the trick. ;) Also try to eat healthy. Do that and it'll be gone before you know it. The main issue with people is staying on task though. So keep motivated and remember your goal! :D
