I love a good calculation...but not so happy with its results.

Thanks to the fine print, I did a Body Mass Index (BMI) calculation.  It's instrumental in assessing a person's level of body fat.  BMI does not measure body fat directly, but it does correspond fairly close to the direct measure of body fat in most people. It's a relatively simple calculation.  BMI = (weight in pounds/ (height in inches)*(height in inches))* 703

As of this morning's weigh-in my BMI = (248.4/(71*71))*703 

Ugh.  It's 34.64.  I'm OBESE.  

That's so not sexy.
