Oops.

I guess I screwed up on my BMI numbers because I was calculating based on the wrong figures. BMI is calculated by the following formula:

BMI = (Weight/(Height*Height))*703

So my calculation for this week, for example, was the following:

(151/(66*66))*703 = 24.37

But I'm not 5'6". I'm 5'5". So the calculation should have been:

(151/(65*65))*703 = 25.12

So what does this mean? Well, a couple of things: first, I have no self-awareness when it comes to my short stature. It also means that my BMI is over 25 - I am still technically overweight in that category. Every post I've done this year has the wrong numbers. I will fix this morning's post to reflect the correct figures, but I'm not going to change them all. Probably not, anyway.
