Find Your BMI (Body Mass Index):

To find out if your weight is healthy, you need to figure out your body-mass index, a measure that helps to tell how much fat you have on your frame. Before you begin any journey, you need to decide where you are and where you want to go. Do you need to lose just a few pounds, are you seriously overweight, or are you underweight?

To determine your BMI (see Body-Mass Index Chart): your weight in pounds times 704.5, divided by your height in inches, divided again by your height in inches. The difference between your current weight and the amount you'd need to weigh to have a "desirable" BMI is the amount you need to lose or gain.
