Found this on a website:-
If you'd like to calculate your BMI yourself, follow these three steps.
A lot of BMI calculators say anything between 18.5-25 is healthy (approx 10stone 8 is a BMI of 25 for yourself) but I have read that under 20 is only suitable for the asian population. If you are white caucasion you shouldnt really go below a BMI of 20. A BMI of 20 for you would be about 8stone 9lbs.
Just to give you an idea I am 5ft 11, yet a BMI of 18.5 would be 9stone 7lbs!!! - I would be a stick insect at that weight!
Hope this helps!
