Thanks for this Bluesinger.

After entering all the data requested, I calculated my BMI which is identical to the results from every other BMI calculation I have ever used. Based simply on height/weight.

It is the interpretation that differs.

According to this website I am at the weight I need to be for my age and health - no further weight loss needed. Unlike all other BMI interpretations that suggest I lose a further 40 pounds.

So what is so "smart" about this calculation as the results are identical to all other BMI calculations?
