Body Mass Index (BMI) Chart
There are a lot of ways to determine your ideal weight, but one of the most accurate and easiest to use is the Body Mass Index (BMI) system. BMI is calculated from height and weight; basically the more you weigh, the higher your BMI will be. Overweight is defined as having a BMI of 25.0 to 29.9 and obesity as having a BMI of 30.0 and above. To use the following chart, simply find your height, look across to find your weight, and then go to the top of the chart to find your BMI.
If your height or weight is not listed you can determine your own BMI by using the following formula:
To use this formula, just follow these steps. Lets assume, for the sake of this example, that you are 5 feet, 4 inches tall, and weigh 121 pounds.
1. First, calculate your height in inches, and square itin other words, multiply the number by itself. In our example, your height is 64 inches. So:
2. Now, write down your weight in pounds. In our example, your weight is 121 pounds.
3. Divide the smaller number (in this case, 121) by the larger number (4,096), rounding off your answer to the nearest hundredth:
4. Multiply your final number (.03) by 705.
In this example, your BMI is 21.
It is important to remember that if you are very muscular you can have a higher-than-recommended BMI and not be overweight. You should also note that if you have been overweight for many years the recommended BMI for your height may not be a realistic goal. Dont be discouragedany weight loss is better than no loss at all.
