Calculating Your BMI

I am sure that most of you know how to do this : but just as a refresher and for those of you who are new to this, here it is.

What is BMI? BMI stands for Body Mass Index. This index is a measure of a persons weight in relation to their height. Knowing your BMI would give you an idea of how serious your weight issues are.

BMI Categories:

* Underweight = <18.5
* Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
* Overweight = 25-29.9
* Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

Sadly, I am in the OBESE category. So my first goal, is to go down 1 category.


Now to get started!
