BMI is calculated by taking your weight in lbs and multiplying it by 703
then you take that number and put it over your hight in inches squared

(lbsx703)/(hight in inches)

so 155×703=108965
108965/(5×12+6)^2 108965/(66)^2 108965/4356=25.0149

so it is about 25

* underweight (BMI: below 19.5)
* normal weight (BMI:18.5 – 24.9)
* overweight (BMI: 25.0 to 29.9)
* obese (BMI: 30.0 & above)

morbidly obese is 40+ in my opinion

here is a link to the calculator www.whathealth.com/bmi/calculator…
