Free BMI Chart

How to calculate your BMI.  Your BMI is a better indicator for weight loss for women than your actual weight is.  A healthy BMI is between 20-25.  Anything above or below this is said by the health experts to be a health risk as you are either to thin or to fat which causes health risks.

If you want to manually calculate your BMI then do the following:

• Measure your height in metres.  Multiply your height by itself;
• Your weight in kilograms?
• Divide the height by the weight squared.

Your Waist Measurement

Another important indicator to a healthy heart and to good health in general is your waist measurement.

Did you know that people who are 'pear shape' i.e. the women who carry weight around their hips and thighs are less likely to develop diabetes and heart disease to those who are 'apple shape'.  Apple shaped women carry their excess weight mainly around their waist and this is a health indicator for heart disease and diabetes. 

A waist measurement of more than 80cm (32in) for women and 94cm (37in) for men indicates that there is an increased risk.

A circumference measurement of more than 88cm (35in) for women and 102cm (40in) for men is particularly worrying.

So you need to get your tummy down to less than 32" girls!
