Slurpers and Burpers are doing Math?

Do you know what your Body Mass Index is? BMI measures your weight in relation to your height, and it is closely associated with measures of body fat. You can calculate your BMI using this formula:

BMI = (Weight in lbs) * 703

            Height squared in inches

So for instance, if you are 5ft 5 inches (12inches * 5 ft = 60inches plus 5 inches = 65 inches) and your weight is 135lbs, your BMI is:

BMI = (135) * 703     = 22
           65 * 65

Healthy range :  A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9
Overweight range: A person with a BMI of 25 to 29.9
Obese range: A BMI of 30 or more is considered obese

If you are not in the healthy range, it is time for some Health Intervention Yall!!!!
