"it doesn't take into account muscle." are the exact words I say when I talk about it, however, I thought this one was "new". ANd the pix of Women with the B.M.I.-- like this place?

I submitted mine for a new one they're making. I believe the B.M.I. was originally created in the 1800's by some old dude for insurance companies.

I never put much stock in the BMI calculator because it doesn't take into account muscle. I think it's just a guideline like the charts the doctors have. Have you ever seen those photo layouts they have sometimes in women's magazines where they show several women of the same weight and they all look different and wear different sizes. We are all very unique and my advice would be to not sweat what the BMI numbers. If you are eating healthy and exercising and you feel good about yourself then you are doing the right thing.
