What is the BMI? BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It is a number calculated using an individual’s current height and weight. It provides an accurate account of that person’s body fat.
Technically, BMI is measured by dividing a person’s weight (measured in pounds) by their height (measured in inches). This number is then multiplied and squared by the conversion factor of 703. It sounds more complicated than it actually is.
In adults, the BMI categories are as follows: any number under 18.5 indicates a person who is underweight, 18.5- 24.9 indicates a normal weight range, 25.0-29.9 indicates a person who is overweight and any number above 30.0 indicates obesity.
There is a similar formula for calculating the BMI of children and teenagers, as well.

When we make a decision to diet, we hope beyond hope that we are successful. We long to be thin and healthier. We dream of purchasing a ‘skinnier wardrobe’ and hearing our friends tell us how great we look.
Unfortunately, this is not always the outcome. There are many reasons why diets fail. Two of the biggest reasons are not eating foods from all food groups and eating too few calories.
It is best to create your menu around each of the six food groups: fruits, vegetables, grains, oils, milk and meat /beans. Just remember to consume foods, in moderation.
Many dieters make the mistake of eating too few calories, in hopes of losing weight at a faster pace. This only makes you hungrier, which makes successful dieting that much harder.

Yes, it is important to exercise when you are dieting. How often you do so is completely up to you. So, it’s important to remember not to overdo it.
This happens frequently when people are just beginning to diet. Why? They want to lose weight FAST! Fast is not a good thing, when you diet.
One thing that is important when you exercise is remaining consistent as possible. Even if you only exercise 20 minutes per day, three days a week, it’s important to keep that schedule.
By starting out at a slower pace, you will find it more enjoyable. You don’t want to burn yourself out, just a few days after you begin.
Walking is actually one of the easiest ‘starter’ weight loss exercises. You don’t need expensive equipment and it will get you out in the fresh air.
