How do I know if I am overweight?

A good and simple Index of body fat in adults is the Body Mass Index or BMI. Measure your weight (in kilograms) and height (in meters). Your BMI is:
BMI = WEIGHT/(HEIGHT X HEIGHT)

If you are 100 kg and your height is 2.0 m, your BMI is 100/(2.0 x 2.0) = 25. Based upon your BMI, you are:

A BMI of 30 is associated with a 1.5 fold risk of premature death while a BMI of 40 is associated with a 2.5 fold risk.

Body Mass Index (BMI) can be used to indicate if you are overweight, obese, underweight or normal. It will, however, overestimate fatness in people who are muscular or atheletic. Because of these problems, this body mass index calculator shows extra statistics to help you be informed and judge your own body compared to others of the same height and age. Also offered are average weight and height charts and Body Mass Index charts, which show data you just can't find anywhere else.

Women tend to believe they look their best at values between 20 to 22 and men are usually satisfied with a BMI of 23 to 25. If your BMI  is between 17 to 22, your life expectancy is longer than average. You don't need to lose weight.

If your BMI is between 23 and 25, you are not considered overweight by most people.  But if your BMI is 26 or more, that's not good. But you knew that already.

Above all, Don't Worry, Be Happy.  Its unhealthy to have anxiety over a less-than-perfect body image.  And, if this calculator's description of your body seems wrong for you, just trust your own judgment.  A healthy mental attitude is just as important as physical fitness.

For adults, a body mass index:

• over 30 is considered obese.
• between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight.
• between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered a healthy bmi.
• under 18.5 is consider underweight.

BMI Categories:

• Underweight = <18.5
• Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
• Overweight = 25-29.9
• Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
