I saw my cardiologist this past week and received a summary report of my visit, which included my BMI (Body Mass Index). According to a reputable web site I am an overweight American. Barely, but still above the normal range. I entered Happy Wife’s height and weight into the calculator at the site and discovered her BMI is in the normal range. But that set me to thinking — she and I, qua married couple, really function as a single unit. So I added our heights and weights together and entered these values in the calculator. Voilà — as a couple our BMI is below normal! The output said the ideal weight for an eleven foot seven inch individual (couple really) is 508-684 pounds.
Say hello to a guilt free weekend of eating and drinking!
