How to determine if you are overweight

The most usual and easiest way to know if you are overweight is to determine your Body Mass Index (BMI). The BMI looks at how much you should weigh based on your height. It is a relative comparison of the balance of fat vis-a-vis lean in your body.

You can find out your BMI by using the following formula below:

1.Divide your weight (in pounds) by your height (in inches) squared
2.Multiply the results of Step 1 by 705.

For example, if you are 5'3'' (63 inches) and weigh 138 pounds, the equation looks like this:

BMI=(138/(63x63)) x705=24.5

Your BMI should be somewhere in the 19 to 25 range. A BMI of 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight and a BMI over 30 is considered obese.

If you decide that you need to lose weight, first, you should focus on eating a healthy diet. Determine what you are eating. To lose weight while remaining healthy, you should try to lose only about 1/2 to 1 pound a week. One pound equals 3,500 calories. So if you exercise off 500 calories per day, you will lose about a pound a week. Losing weight will be easier if you combine exercise with diet management and proper nutrition.

Proper exercise and a healthy diet, when combined, are the best means of losing and or maintaining your weight.
