Is my weight healthy? When you need an answer to this important question, you should know that a healthy weight is more than a number on a scale.
An accurate answer can make a life-changing impact on the way you look, live and feel.

What you should know about BMI

Body Mass Index (BMI) is one of the many ways to determine when extra pounds translate into health risks.

BMI is a measurement that uses a scientific formula to determine a person's safest, healthiest weight based upon their weight and height.

As you set your goals on the way to looking and feeling better, BMI is a powerful tool you can use to help create your personal path to improved health. One of the most important to about BMI is that the higher the BMI, the greater the risk of developing additional health problems.A high BMI can be associated with serious health risks including:

obesity
heart disease
diabetes
cancer

Someone with a BMI of 26 to 27 is about 20 percent overweight, which is generally believed to carry moderate health risks. A BMI of 30 and higher is considered obese.

BMI correlates with body fat. The relation between fatness and BMI differs with age and gender. For example, women are more likely to have a higher percent of body fat than men for the same BMI. On average, older people may have more body fat than younger adults with the same BMI.

Whatever your values from the BMI calculator or BMI chart, talk to your doctor to see if you are at an increased risk for disease and if you should lose weight. Even a small weight loss (just 10% of your current weight) may help to lower the risk of disease.

Use the Body Mass Indicator to get on the right track to a healthy weight with great meal plans to support your goals.
