Body Mass Index :
Divide your weight in pounds by the square of your height in inches, then multiply by 703.
If the resulting number is below 25 you are not over-weight.
If it is 25 to 29 you, like 34% of Americans aged 20 to 74. are over-weight.
If your BMI number is 30 or higher you, like 27% of adults, have super-sized yourself. You are obese.
