BMI: Bmi is a calculation of mass in weight- lbs divided by height in inches. It does not, however, calculate body fat!

NHLBI: Try this website: http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm. This gives you an accurate BMI based on your height and weight, and gives you the guidelines for normal, underweight, overweight and obese. Just plug in the numbers.
