Default BMI, formula for this

Does anyone know the formula for figuring your BMI? I had a website open that would figure it for you, but forgot how to find it. I have a problem with getting a true number, because my height has changed so much. When I was younger I was 5ft 6inches tall. I have gradually gotten almost 5 inches shorter due to a bad spine. Double Scoliosis, also twisted badly. I think I should still use my former height in figuring my BMI, and not my current height, because I cannot stand up straight. I used the site I mentioned, and it said I was Overweight when I used current height. But it said Healthy Weight when I used my former height. Confusing!
