I checked my weight on this site and it states that im overweight. I'm 164cms tall and i weigh 70kgs. I certainly don't feel unhealthy, so how accurate can this be?

Hi there Breakus
Not sure where you may have seen that you are overweight on this site. If it was a Google Advertisement link, then we have no control of that content and it's actually not content from us. If it's a post on this site let me know and I'll get the appropriate person to respond.

hey there scavallo,

its just a site i searched up using google, its not posted on this site. It just judges my weight based on height/weight, in the "get started" section. I was just wandering if it could accurate thats all.

You could try this one instead

I've done Weight Watchers and they work in averages. I'm currently just under 70kg but really should be closer to 60kg so I am overweight. However 2 years ago I was almost 80kg so a lot better than I was, just need to lose a bit more.

For those who don't know what their cm height is you can go to this one and then the original site mentioned to see how you go.

The BMI (Body Mass Index) is meant to be a guide only. It has been proven that rugby players, for example, are healthy despite being 'overweight' according to their BMI.

If you're unsure, it would be best to see your GP who can do a thorough check-up and give you a better idea of your ideal weight by taking into account your lifestyle, frame etc.
