  Erm... faulty calculation, ok.
  
  That's just a gross estimate.
  
  Not everyone's the same. Your bones might weigh only 8kgs whilst mine 12 kgs. And then, there are the muscles and organs and all that.
  
  50kgs??
  
  Man, I wish!!

  My BMI is in the Low Risk (healthy range)
  
  I don't think it's accurate cos according to the height-weight chart (you know, those they use in school) , I'm overweight (and have been since primary school I might add hahaha) .

  Envious? 50kg is quite thin for a guy, isn't it?
  
  BTW, I'm in the low risk range.

  BMI is freakin bullshit, its a very rough indicator.My BMI is 25 yet i was not even absent for a day of school while my other friends BMI was like 20 plus and they were absent for a few times already.This shows that just because your BMI is lower does not mean shit,
  
  BMI is more suitable for comparing sedentary people with each other.I do exercise btw
  
  Seriously whoever adhere the BMI system is a MORON, so danm inaccurate and bullshit.
  
  BMI is so misleading....people think they are healthy freaks just because their BMI is 20 or something.

  I say even though my BMI is 25 i am healthier than my friends whose BMI is like 20 cause i was never absent for school this year before.NOT even FOR a day.
