Body Mass Index Calculator

One of the most effective tools you can use when first getting started with your diet is a Body Mass Index Calculator. Your BMI results will give you a good idea of how much weight you need to lose in order to achieve a healthy weight.  The only thing you need to do to calculate your BMI is to put in your height & weight and the calculator will give you the results. I remember when I started my weight loss journey that my BMI said I was obese. It was so alarming to me to see that term "obese".  In an episode on the Dr. Oz Show, Dr. Oz said that if you lose just 10% of your current weight, you can change your BMI results.  There are just three categories in the BMI: Healthy, Overweight, and Obese. If your BMI results says you are obese, then your goal should be to get to the overweight category.  I reversed my "obese" status by just losing 17lbs!  I am currently still in the overweight category after losing 36lbs, but I only have just 10 lbs left to lose to be in the "healthy" category! This calculator gives you an idea of how much you need to lose, but just focus on losing 10lbs and then slowly continue until you reach your goal. In this world of everything instant, we want to see results fast! If you want to keep the weight off, you want the weight to go down gradually and not instantly! For your convenience, you will find a calculator located in the right hand side of this blog!
