NHS BMI calculator posted in the OP.

11st exactly is my preferred weight.

I enjoyed xmas beers & burgers a bit too much this year...

That puts you at 24.7 and within the healthy range.

5'7', 11st4 (neither of which I'm 100% sure of!) puts me at 25.8 & overweight.

I must keep cycling to get to my 8st4 target weight, apparently.

Riggggghhhhhhhht...

Why are the naysayers looking to the very bottom end of the range and stating that as their target weight? Anywhere within the range is fine eg you Sir seem to have only just strayed in to "overweight" as the green band runs between 18.5 to 25!

So does rounding down a kilo and up an inch

It's all just guidelines.

49, 10st 13, 5'10", BMI 21
I run 40 miles a week, I'm still carrying about 1/2 a stone of fat.

At my age all you need to do is a plank and it all hangs there like a wrinkled jelly........... beware youngsters, it's very hard to lose it as you get older

174 cm and 73kg. Bmi= 24.4, with abs, which admittedly are going to go into hiding soon at this rate. Going to try and bulk up to 85 kg so in my next medical at work the doctor and I can have an argument over whether I am overweight or not. My life is that fun.
