Tell me your height & weight or your BMI.
And then the state you live in!
Interested in the media outlooks at weight in the US.
Right now I am 5'4" and 132.4lbs and I live in Tennessee.
I think it will be interesting to see the results of this too
@prettypincushion: Your BMI is 22.7 which is 4 under the average BMI in Tennesse.
And yes people, I know. The BMI isnt always right, but it's not like it's going to define your life
just shy of 5'7", 110lb. Massachusetts. My BMI will tell you I'm underweight--I'm fine. I've been the same size since the 7th grade no matter what I do... my doctor and I are both over it :)
@imsandradee: I'm 5'6 and 103, So I understand ;)
And your BMI is 9 below the average in your state
5'6" and 188lbs. Accordign to BMI, i am obese. I've been within 5lbs of this weight for 10 years or more. My doctors never say anything about my weight
5'0, 126lb, BMI a little over 25. Need to lose some serious weight...
As I've posted before, BMI does not always equate to dress size, and certainly not to overall bealth. That sad, I have various skeletal problems which improve as my BMI drops, regardless of whether I am losing fat, water, or muscle.
EDIT: At my largest, I thought I was 147, but I later found out that my scales were faulty, so it would have been more like 157. At that point, my doctor told me that I needed to lose at least 40lb, and that I should aim for a BMI of 18-19 if I wanted my joints to improve.
@Glasgowbound: BMI's aren't always right because they don't take into account all things that affect weight
5'4'' and 106 lbs. BMI around 18.7 and I lived in AZ (from CA)
@nikix: I forgot to put I'm in the suburbs of Washington, DC.
And that's why I don't put a lot of stock in BMI, or even weight for that matter, or even dress/pants size. I'm healthy and very comfortable with my body (curvy and hourglass-y) and that is what is important 
Here is for reference ladies
The Deep South and Midwest took most of the top positions for body mass index. Note that the thinnest state in the union, Utah, with an average BMI of 24.68, is theonly state the union that doesn't fall into the overweight category (though it's dangerously close).
I'm so glad to see I'm not the only small one! (I have body issues sometimes that I'd too thin but I can't help it). I'm 5'5 and about 102 pounds.
I'm under FL but not by much. 5 foot 9 inches 161 pounds, BMI of 23.8
Working on getting more healthy atm, well not right now since I'm super sick, but in general
I'm 5'5" and 123, which is a BMI of 20.5. I live in Wyoming, which according to your list is the state with the 4th-lowest BMI. (Cause all there is to do here is go play outside, haha.) The average is still 25.55 which is higher than I might expect...
5ft4 - 136 pounds.
i live in the UK!
BMI of 23
This is an interesting little website! It looks at Data across the world :)

I'm 5'5" and about 130 so BMI of 21.6. I like in AL but am not a native.
That's intresting information... I'm in Canada so I can't really contribute, but I wonder how Canada would compare.
Right now I'm 5'2" 122, from NJ. My BMI is 22.3 according to an online calculator.
I don't pay attention to BMI but good to know I am under the state average. I am currently working on losing weight though just to get back into a body that I am comfortable with. Hopefully come wedding day I can post a lower number on here lol
I'm 5'6'', I currently weigh 163, which gives me a BMI of 26.3.
I live in Virginia, so I'm just slightly below average lol. But, I'm working on it.
I started my weight loss journey with a BMI of 37.9.
ETA: 9 more pounds until I'm considered "normal" by the CDC! :D
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 102 lbs.
So I guess that makes my BMI like 18.7-ish?
I'm 5'7" and 138 lbs (21.6 BMI), living in NC as a transplant (originally from CA)
I'm 5'1" & 100 pounds.
& http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/ says I'm 18.9 BMI
EDIT: Oh, & I forgot to add I am born & raised in Texas. Never lived anywhere else.
