Reaching Target Weight

Maintaining proper weight is essential to healthy living. The Body Mass
Index (BMI) is the most widely accepted measurement of weight 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 is considered obese. Remember to eat right
and exercise.
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.
