Consider the normal BMI for men or women calculated in pounds-per-inches squared. You will use the BMI range to calculate the range weight in Step 3 and 4. The inch^2 is translated as "inches squared." Men: 0.0294 to 0.0376 lbs./inch^2. Women: 0.0272 to 0.0367 lbs./inches^2

Calculate your weight range using the following formulas. For men: Minimum weight = Height x Height x 0.0294 lbs.
Maximum weight = Height x Height x 0.0376 lbs. Therefore, if your height is 80 inches your minimum weight = 80 x 80 x 0.0294 = 188.16 lbs. Maximum weight = 80 x 80 x 0.0376 = 240.64 lbs.

Calculate your weight range using the following formulas. For women: Minimum weight = Height x Height x 0.0272 lbs.
Maximum weight = Height x Height x 0.0367 lbs. Therefore, if your height is 60 inches your minimum weight = 60 x 60 x 0.0294 = 105.84 lbs. Maximum weight = 60 x 60 x 0.0376 = 135.35 lbs.
