in reply to Body Mass Index Calculator

Unfortunately it doesn't make any sense with rational measurement units (kilograms an centimeters) : 

Please enter your current weight >
87
Please enter your waist girth (measured at the umbilicus) >
98     

Your Total Body Fat % is 350.74%

This indicates that you are Obese.

Extra: Your weight without any fat = -218.146

I fail to understand what the calculations are about to apply proper conversion.

    I plan on modifying this script as soon as I get a chance to try to accommodate these changes that have been requested...I feel like it could be much better...
