You're okay: Your BMI or body mass index, which is a calculation of your height compared to your weight, comes out to 19.6. This is in the normal range. BMI ranges are as follows: underweight: 18.4 and below normal: 18.5-24.9 overweight: 25-29.9 obese: 30-39.9 morbidly obese: 40 and above You can plug your height and weight into calculators online to get your BMI then compare it to these ranges.
