Reaching Target Weight

Maintaining proper weight is essential to healthy living. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is the most widely accepted indicator of weight status according to health professionals. Use the chart below to determine your own BMI by matching your height in the left hand column with your weight in the center. Anyone, male or female, with a BMI of 25 to 29 is considered overweight and a body mass index of 30 or more is considered obese. Remember to eat right and exercise. Always contact your physician before beginning an exercise program.

Body Mass Index

NOTE: BMI has some limitations: It can overestimate body fat in people who are very muscular, and it can underestimate body fat in people who have lost muscle mass, such as the elderly.
