    I just picked up on how Imperialist have to calculate BMI:

    The index is calculated by dividing a person's weight in pounds by his height in inches, squared, and multiplying that total by 703.
    While the enlightened who use the Metric system.

    The index is calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by his height in meters, squared.
    My BMI last Christmas was 29.3 (215 pounds and 6 foot tall in imperial units vs 98kgs and 1.83m tall in metric), Body fat was 20-22% but I still could do 150+ pushups in a ten minute session if required. My BMI now is 26.6, my aim is to have it down to 25 by the end of the year. Body fat is still way to high at 19%, aim to have that down to below 15% by the end of year (this Xmas).

    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
