Light weight's...... 5'9 and 78kg's - or about 12st and a little bit...but that was my race weight years ago - big legs....ahem !!! BMI is just under 25.
BMI is rubbish as any athlete won't get a low reading due to muscle - BMI is OK for couch potatoes !

All on my belly too
Not keen to go either. Could do with upping the excercise a tad and decreasing the food intake. Alcohol is waaay down since Christmas which is good, but decreasing consumption's not easy when sorrounded by the stuff.
Oh well, just another challenge...at least it's not going up!
Need to shift a stone and a half.

I feel more comfortable (and not surprisingly cycle quicker) weight wise around 67-68kg so that's what I will aiming for once I start doing some longer commutes home now that the clocks have gone forward.
BMI is useful however waist to hip ratio is now seen as a better indicator of a person being at greater cardiovascular risk. With a 30" waist I don't think I have any worries on that front though as risk of heart disease is also hereditary and my dad has had 3 heart attacks I, as the doctor tactfully put it "probably have faulty valves anyway" so just postponing the inevitable. There's a cheery thought.

I don't really bother about what weight I am now. When I left college in 94, I was 161lb, took not well and lost 2 stone in about 1 month but that felt too light
. Although according to the BMI calculator all three weights are amongst an ideal weight range, so I've not much confidence in the BMI.

You are overweight for your height
Your BMI is 26.5
good job I didn't do this eight months ago when I weighed another two and a half stone
I've lost almost all my obvious fat barring some soft belly, from beer I suspect
I have put on a fair bit of muscle around the shoulders, arms and thighs
Still overweight is better than obese I suppose

I just calculated my son's BMI (he's 3 and a half).
He's got a BMI of 13.8 which had me frantically re-calculating a couple of times.
Turns out however that young children are expected to have lower BMIs, reaching their minimum at about 4-5 years old. *phew*

Hmmm. 21.5ish.
I'm a touch heavier than I sometimes am. And I think I'm getting a little pudgy in places.
But on the whole probably not too much to worry about. I think I will have another chocolate digestive.
