The B.J. Devine Formula is an old-school way to ballpark your ideal weight. It was cooked up by this doc, B.J. Devine, back in the early 1900s for the American Medical Association.

B.J. Devine Ideal Weight Formula:

Ideal Weight (kg) for female: = 45.5 + 2.3 * (Height [cm] - 60)

Body Mass Index (BMI) Formula:

BMI = Weight (kg) / Height (m)^2

Healthy BMI range: 18.5 to 24.9
