BMI Calculator





What does your BMI mean?

BMI 18-24
= Normal Weight
BMI 25-29
= Overweight
BMI 30-34
= Moderate Obesity
BMI 35-39
= Severe Obesity
BMI > 40
= Morbid Obesity

BMI, or body mass index, is a system of measurement that helps a patient figure out how overweight he or she is. A BMI of 20 to 25 is considered normal. 25 to 30 is considered overweight. 30.1 to 34.9 is considered obese. You are a candidate for weight loss surgery if your BMI is 40 or greater or if you have a BMI between 35 and 39.9 along with a serious health problem. The U.S. FDA has recently approved the LAP-BAND® Adjustable Gastric Banding System for use in patients who have a BMI of 30 or more and at least one serious health problem (comorbidity) related to obesity.

"I thought I was a pretty happy fat person. Hiding behind my jokes and laughter, I did not know how much my weight controlled my life. I never knew what true happiness was until I had my surgery. Some people don't like to tell people when they have had weight loss surgery but I tell everyone because I feel everyone deserves to be this happy!"

Size 14 Jeans!!!

I was so excited I told the lady who gives out dressing room numbers & the cashier at Target!!! hahahahaha

That moment when you hope something will fit and try to zip it up came and went for years with me, until I finally gave up trying things on.

There is NOTHING more fun now than trying on clothes. Hoping to get into a 12 before Christmas. I can see single digits just ahead of me and not too many more pounds until I am under 200. These milestones are keeping me motivated & looking ahead.

Here are the highlights that come to mind right now- sitting with my legs crossed comfortably in a pew at church, sitting indian style on the floor with my students, having my son and daughter tell me I am “getting skinny”.

Life is Good:)
