According to the NHS I should weigh 41.1KG-55.7KG.
For a healthy BMI. So minimum of 30.9 KG which is 25% of what I weigh today.
I am aiming for a BMI of 28 or under.

I'm a mathematician who has specialized in obesity for years. Take my advice: ignore the BMI. It is the least accurate measurement in medicine today. Think of it this way: if a young, muscular football player and his obese, alcoholic, chain-smoking, sluggish grandmother are both the same height and weight, they will have identical BMIs. What will that tell us? Nothing.
I helped to develop a superior algorithm for determining your ideal weight range. We put it up at weightzone.com, and it is free. It took us nearly two years to develop it and it was a terrific project. The BMI uses your height and weight only; we use 25 different factors: body statistics, health history, and exercise patterns. You are welcome to use it.
Hi Jeff thanks for the link but it does not seem to work.
I appreciate that the BMI might be the least accurate but we do need some sort of simple reference and it is just what it is. A reference. It actually allows about 3 stones of leeway between the bottom and top range of a healthy weight, which to me indicates that it does take into account some sort of difference.
Although I love hearing about and using other types of measurements and I would love to try out your tool but the address is wrong it appears.
Thanks again
Hopefully you will reach this soon. My BMI was 32 when I started this journey in the first week of September, and it is now of 25.2. And I feel so much better for it already, regardless of the numbers...
