2. Multiply your height (in inches) times your height (in inches)
3. Divide the number in step 1 by the number in step 2 to get your BM!

For example if you weigh 148 pounds and five feet six inches tall, the calculation would look like this:
1. 148 pounds x 703=104,044
2. 66 x 66 =4,356
3. 104,044/4,356 = 23.9 BMI (normal) or your SKINNY JEANS WILL FIT!
