Answer 1

Know if you need to lose weight

Health specialist use a measure called BMI, short for Body Mass Index. Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women. This gives a good measure of your total body fat. BMI compares your height and weight. It shows if you are underweight, at a healthy weight, or overweight.

You know how many pounds are there in 1 kg. Do not know let me help you, it is 1 kilogram = 2.20462262 pounds. Check out what your BMI is by using the BMI calculator.

BMI Category
Below 18.5 Underweight
Between 18.5 - 24.9 Healthy Weight
Between 25 - 29.9 Overweight

Look at the BMI chart to find out how much weight you need to lose to move from obese to overweight or from overweight into a healthy range. Knowing this can help you set a good weight loss goal.

Answer 2

It would be hard to tell without a picture, but I also wouldn't go by the traditional charts that the doctors have. I am 5'5" and about 155. I don't think I am fat...although like most women, I have my moments. Are you muscular? That adds more weight than fat. I used to weigh about ten pounds less and on my bad days I make myself feel bad for the weight gain, but with 13 years extra perspective on you I think, as hard as it is, it is how you see yourself that really matters. Unfortunately, some days according to me, I'm fat, some days not. I just try to make more good days than bad.

Answer 3

185 lbs is heavy for being 5' 10". If you'd like to loose weight without being hungry you should stick to eatting food that's good for you. You can eat all the fruits, vegetables and whole grain breads you want to with out gaining weight. In fact whole grain breads have been known to make a person loose weight. The goal shouldn't be to loose weight but to be healthy.

In a nut shell, it sounds like you're over weight but it's nothing you can't fix. Just start eatting right.

Keep a healthy attitude.

Answer 4

I don't like the word fat. You sound overweight. Just eat a healthy diet and walk for 30 minutes a day. Eat less fat and dairy, Eat more fruit and veggies, chicken, fish, turkey and less red meat.

Answer 5

Hi,
I've tried all different diets, and the weight loss is only temporary. I finally tried diet pills on the market are made from Hoodia. I saw this stuff on ABC News. It's all natural and safe, and it works! My wife took it for a month and dropped 20 pounds. I took it for a month and lost about 13 (but I didn't exercise).

I bought the natural hoodia from this website: http://www.alllsite.info/free-diet-pills.php . I checked the web site address so I can post it here and I saw they're running a promotion now to get a free 2 week sample for only $4.97! I'm going to order this supply for my wife and give it to her for Christmas =)
