The Body Mass Index (BMI)
A well known measure of healthy weight is the Body Mass Index or BMI calculation. If you want to check what sort of shape you're in, the Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculator is a useful guide. You can use it to check the BMI of every family member and it will tell you if you're a healthy weight for your height. Just enter your height and weight in the BMI Calculator.
Remember this information is only a guide and if you are at all concerned you should speak to your GP.
