Hey, this is Kamal and I run the NPXP network of websites. I am a blogger and also do other online stuffs.
This BMI is helpful to people for weight loss. In the BMI calculator stated above, there is no column to add the age group in which the patient belongs. Is the age not related to the BMI ?
Anyway thanks for sharing this site. Actually I just started a site explaining healthy weight loss per week.
Kamal,
Thanks for the great info! I just read a great book that had tips about getting in shape and building muscle where they talked about measuring your BMI. I thought I would have to buy some expensive gadget to do it but now I can use the BMI Calculator you talked about and even get the app for my iPhone! By the time I finish my paralegal degrees I should be in great shape thanks to your tips.
