What weight should I be?

As it is difficult to work out exactly what one's ideal weight should be, it is easier to work out what one's weight range should be.

Based on a height to weight formula, Body Mass Index (BMI) is a useful guide to determine if a person is underweight, overweight or within a healthy weight range.

To calculate your BMI, enter your height and weight in the calculator.

what's your BMI?

BMI	Weight Status
Below 18.5	Underweight
18.5 – 24.9	Normal
25.0 – 29.9	Overweight
30.0 – 34.9	Obese
35.0 – 39.9	Obese
40 +	Morbidly obese

Please note that using the BMI calculation won’t be accurate for those who are heavily muscled as it does not take into consideration body fat and muscle ratios.  It is not suitable for those under 20 or for pregnant women.
