ARE YOU OVERWEIGHT?

Calculation is easy. Try it.

When it comes to health risks, the amount of fat you carry is more important than how much you weigh. The body mass index (BMI), which looks at weight in relation to height, is a good indicator of excess body fat. A healthy BMI is between 19 and 24.9, overweight is between 25 and 29.9, and obese is 30 or greater. To calculate your BMI, follow these steps:

Multiply your weight in pounds by 704.5
Divide the answer by your height in inches
Divide that result by your height in inches again. This number is your BMI.

For example:

Your height is 5 feet and 6 inches. Your weight is 128 pounds.
Your height in inches would be: 66 inches.
Multiply your weight (128 x 704.5) = 90,176
Divide this number (90,176 by your height in inches 90,176/66 = 1,366
Divide this number again by your height in inches 1,366/66 = 20.7

So your BMI is 20.7 (This is a healthy BMI)
