How to calculate BMI
Before you embark on any weight loss program, the first thing is to determinine if you are overweight.
The standard medical way of doing this is by calculating the body mass index (BMI)
The formulas are stated above. In words, you simply take your weight in kg, divide it by your height in meters and divide it by your height in meter again.
The following are interpretation of the BMI
- Less than 18 : Underweight
- 18 to 23 : Normal healthy weight
- 23 to 25 : Overweight
- More than 25: Obese
- More than 30: Grossly Obese
If you have an ideal BMI and still plan to lose weight, I suggest you visit your doctor for advice first.

Though I’m a girl, I started out ptrtey darned pudgy and unable to run if my life depended on it. Managed to lose about 30 lbs down to 115 (and I’m fairly short, so that’s a solid difference). Start by running for two minutes and walking for a few. Once you’ve caught your breath, run for two minutes again. Keep doing this for about 45-60 mins. The next time you go running, push it to three minutes before trying to catch your breath again. You can keep pushing it up more and more over the next few months. You should also work on eating more lean foods instead of things heavy in carbs. Just because you worked out doesn’t mean you have free reign to eat anything you want.I used to barely be able to jog slowly for a mile, so far this year I’ve done four half marathons (all around 8:30 miles) and 2 sprint triathlons, and actually won my age group in the last one (though it was a fairly small one, but I like to forget that part!)
