Sorry to intrude on your board, but I happened to notice that you have the wrong equation here, which is why your number came out so low.
The correct formula is:
BMI =
[Weight in pounds ÷ Height in inches ÷ Height in inches] x 703
So if you are 130 pounds and 5'4, it comes out thus:
130/64 = 2.03 /64 =.03174 x703 = 22.3
Hope this helps!
