So, How Much Should You Weigh?


The best way to determine whether you’re the healthiest weight or not is by working out your Body Mass Index (BMI).

Your BMI measures your height/weight ratio and is calculated by your weight in kilograms divided by the square of your height in meters.

A BMI of 20 – 25 is normal; 26 – 29 indicates you’re overweight;
30 – 39.9 is obese; and if your BMI is over 40, you’re morbidly obese.

The higher your BMI, the greater the risks of you developing health problems like heart disease, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.

So… how much should you weigh? Check the chart and find your healthy weight range based on BMI figures – the lowest weight represents BMI 20 and the upper limit BMI 25.

First and last figures are height metric and imperial, with suggested weight range in kilograms between.

From “Your Family” Oct 2005 p38

So, now you also know where we are heading in our group of healthier living people…
Keep on steadily heading towards your healthy-weight range. When you get within it, head for at least the middle of the range.
Decide to stay within that range for the rest of your life!
If circumstances happen where you get above or below your healthy-weight range, “don’t stay wrong long”.
“Do what needs doing” again, by you, as soon as possible - with help when needed.
“Give yourself what you need”.
