Maintaining proper weight is essential to healthy living.
Obesity has been linked to a higher risk of heart disease,
diabetes and some forms of cancer. 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.
In Case of Difficulty...
1.
Place your feet in the same position every time you weigh yourself.
Stand still during measurement.
2.
Weigh yourself without clothing whenever possible. Clothes can vary in
weight.
3.
Move the scale to a location where it won't be bumped. If your scale is
bumped while being activated or while in use, an inaccurate reading
may occur.
4.
For the most consistent readings, weigh yourself at the same time of day.
Allow for weight fluctuations due to food or drink in your system.
