NHS BMI Calculator

Hi All,

So recently I decided to get my BMI into the normal range (I was slightly overweight). I downloaded the BMI app as it would keep a track of my progress.

Anyway I currently weight 73KG and I am 5foot7. This gives me a BMI of 25.2 according to the NHS website and app.

Now you can choose to use Metric or Imperial calculations and when you switch 73KG to imperial it tells you that its using 11stone 7 pound.

But if 1Kg is equal to 2.20462 then 73KG is 160.93 Pounds which is around 11 Stone 5.

I also weigh myself on the nintendo Wii fit and when it gives you your result it matches in with around 11stone 5.

Can anyone help? Do I weigh 11stone 5 or 11 stone 7?:rotfl:

I know I probably shouldn't care as much to post it here but I'm confused! :rotfl:

73kg is 160lb 15oz, or 11 stone 6lb 15oz, or 11 stone 7lb as the NHS calculator says.

you got the conversion wrong 11st 6.9374lb is 73kg but that to one side you will get a few lbs different between scales to start with ,never mind cloths ,and if you had any drinks food can make a difference,ect
