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.

NO- you're not overweight and if someone's telling you that you are- tell them to go fly a kite. You're beautiful the way you are. It's just your age telling you differently- all teenage girls are self conscience- you'll get thru it! Good Luck

Skip waiting rooms. When you have an consultation, check in and then go for a walk until this receptionist phones you.

You are normal. If the stretch marks bother you, rub vitamin E cream, or a collogen cream into them. This will help repalr the elasticity of the skin, and reduce the look of the marks.

If you're buying just a few items, skip the cart and carry a basket.
