Weight Loss Target Training by Carolyn Ekenstam
All of us would like to have a goal or a weight loss target. One of the easy ways to set it is to use the body mass index. I will tell you a simple way to calculate this so you can set your weight loss target. It really is quite easy. A calculator may come in handy.
To begin, you need to weigh yourself. I know you don't want to, but this is necessary. Next you need to measure your height and be sure it is inches, not inches and feet. Just multiply the feet by 12 and add it to the inches. For instance, I am 5 feet, 6 inches. I multiply 12 times 5 which is 60 and then add 6 inches to get 66.
The next step is to multiply your weight by 703. That is the top number for a division problem. In my case, that is 108965. Next either divide by your height and then divide by your height again. It may be simpler to multiply your height times your height or square it and then divide it into the number that you got when you multiplied your weight by 703. For instance, in my case, we have 108965 divided by 66 and then divided by 66 again or 108965 divided by 66 times 66 which is 4356. That answer comes to 25.01.
Now you will need some direction about what that means for your weight loss target.
If the number is below 18.5, you are underweight.
If the number is 18.5 to 24.9 you are at a healthy or normal weight.
If the number is 25.0 to 29.9, you are overweight.
If the number is 30.0 to 39.9, you are obese.
If the number is over 40, you are morbidly obese.
You can see I have a little way to go to get to the normal or healthy range and when I started writing articles, it was not as good as that. However, I want to encourage you to set this goal and do like I did and get to your weight loss target. In no time, I should be at my goal and you can be, too.
This will be a good way for you to know that you are gaining ground. As you lose weight and get close to your weight loss target, you can check this from time to time and be encouraged as the number go down.
Once you are below 24.9, you can decide if you want to go further, but not below 18.5. This is an easy way to determine your weight loss target. Once you set your goal, you are ready to begin your weight loss target plan.
