The BMI Calculator

When it comes to weight loss and body transformation, we are all familiar with the BMI calculator. With so many BMI theories, opinions, calculators, graphs & charts available to us, I understand it can be overwhelming!

What is BMI?

For those who may not have heard of the BMI, the BMI (Body Mass Index) is a number that is often used by health professionals as a general measure of body weight when they are assessing health risks. It was devised a long time ago and, although still considered to be a useful tool, it is by no means a comprehensive measure of health.

How is my BMI calculated?

When finding out your BMI, a BMI calculator will divide your body weight, in kilograms, by your height, in metres squared. The BMI scale ranges from underweight to morbidly obese, so a BMI calculator will place you in a category depending on your current BMI number.

Why weight loss shouldn’t have a BMI focus

If you are curious, by all means have a look at your BMI, or check your weight on the scales. However we must understand that when it comes to tracking your health & fitness journey, your BMI is not the most reliable indicator of how much weight you need to lose, or whether you have lost any fat since the last time you measured your BMI.

A BMI calculator is not a weight loss calculator.

For example, your BMI doesn’t take into account factors such as waist circumference, age, ethnicity, gender, body composition or the fact that we are all different shapes and sizes. A BMI can’t distinguish between fat and muscle, which tends to be heavier and can make more toned individuals tip into the overweight BMI category, even if their fat levels are actually quite low.

A BMI calculator can be used as a guide but only that – a guide.

Here at 28, we are all about progress not perfection. We don’t compare ourselves to others, we don’t fixate on our score from a calculator, a chart or the scales. We work in 28 day blocks focusing on getting better all the time and achieving a happy, healthy, sustainable version of ourselves.
