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 over weight 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.
Consult your physician to determine what is most ideal for you.
