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.
