Where To Check For your BMI BMI = Body Mass Index (Tells one's body fat % and underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese.) Where To Check For your BMI Posted 8/9/2008 12:26 AM EDT on pal-item Our body mass index also known as BMI tells us if we are any of the following, underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese. The BMI also tells your body fat percentage for your weight and height. You can check your own BMI at the following site www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi the site is the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute. It also has a link to the Obesity Education Initiative as well as other informative information. When I was about 350 pounds I was at 56.5 % body fat, I am now at 30.7 % body fat meaning I have lost 25.8 % of my body fat. So even though I am have lost 25.8 % of my body fat I am still considered obese that is until I am under a 30 % BMI, so I may not be where I want to be just yet, but I am not where I once was on the BMI and for that I am glad.                                                               I have gone from a size 3-4 XXX to a size 10-12. Leaving me about 40-50 pounds to go to my goal weight and BMI.                             Of course a few pounds of that is from the extra skin from the weight loss. According to NHLBI here is what the BMI's are: Underweight                18.5 Normal Weight            18.5 - 24.9 Overweight                  25 - 29.9 Obesity                       BMI of 30 or greater I hope this information is helpful to all who read it not only in this blog but in all of my blogs and I welcome your feedback.
