About Ideals

Body Mass Index (BMI), is used by doctors as an indicator of health risks, including heart disease and diabetes. Ideal weight, BMI, and waist size recommendations are averages, and vary from person to person. You can use these indicators as a starting point to set goals, improve your well-being, and reduce health risks.
Waist to Hip ratio is used to measure risk for heart disease, diabetes, and cancers of the reproductive organs. Risk is higher if you carry the majority of your body fat around your middle, or have an "apple" shape. Women with a WHR of 0.7 and men with a WHR of 0.9 are less susceptible to these major diseases.

Real Expectations

Your BMI is one of many ways to measure health and fitness. It has limitations, particularly if you are very muscular, or have lost muscle mass with aging. BMI is used differently for children. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week.
