Apr 11, 2011
My weight is 180 lbs and my BMI is 29.9 according to http://www.healthcalculators.org/calculators/bmi.asp.Here's what the calculator has to say:
| 5'5", 180 lbs. |
| Your BMI score is: 29.9 |
A BMI score of 25.0 to 29.9 indicates you are overweight. You could be at increased risk for Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension and Heart Disease. Learn how to set realistic goals to reduce your risk of disease. |
Well, they don't make it sound as good, but here's what it WAS last year this time:
| 5'5", 298 lbs. |
| Your BMI score is: 49.5 |
A BMI score of over 30.0 indicates moderate to severe obesity. Although weight loss can be difficult, even a modest weight loss of 10 to 20 pounds can bring significant health improvements, such as lowering ones' blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
