BMI new measure - are you better or worse off?

You are confusing yourself with MF.

If MTT ever works out your height/weight I reckon you are going to get a stalker.

So are you going to edit or not? Or shall I just keep the formula to myself? Might make a nice Thursday puzzle?

Not bothered TBH. Curious to see whether you've got it right!

old = w(kg)/power(h(cm),2)
new = 1.3*w(kg)/power(h(cm),2.5)

h=power(1.3*old/new,2)
w=power(h,2)*old

Old: 22.57
New: 22.44

so h=1.71cm = 5'8"
and w=66.6kg=10st4pounds

Don't blame me when MTT starts chasing you.....

Spag boll is the killer, I just chow down as much pasta as I can at night. All bran most mornings but I have found porridge to be a big help. Used to take a rockstar drink before runs, found the caffeine helps with the boredom, got a bag of 100 100mg caffeine tablets from ebay for 4 quid last year, they seem to be quite a bit stronger than the same amount taken through drink. Took 2 and I was scrambled, lost focus on my running and ended up shattered after 6 miles.

I read "eat and run" last year and that has been a big inspiration to me, written by a vegan runner Scott Jurek who holds quite a few ultra records. I think I read he eats 6000 calories a day from plant based food. Must fart like a mad man.

Close - started at 5'7" and a bit, and 10st 5lb. I guess you needed more decimal places. Mind you I've just ordered a pizza...
