  Welcome to Fun Advice!

First, you can’t be 33 if you were born in 1995 as your profile says. Might want to revise your birthdate.

You have a BMI of 32.39.

BMI is between 30-34.99 (Obese Class 1)

Individuals with a BMI of 30-34.99 are in a physically unhealthy condition, which puts them at risk for serious ilnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, gall bladder disease, and some cancers. This holds especially true if you have a larger than recommended Waist Size. These persons would benefit greatly by modifying their lifestyle. Ideally, see your doctor and consider reducing your weight by 5-10 percent. Such a weight reduction will result in considerable health improvements.

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measurement of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both men and women between the ages of 18 and 65 years.

  BMI Classification

18.5 or less Underweight
18.5 to 24.99 Normal Weight
25 to 29.99 Overweight
30 to 34.99 Obesity (Class 1)
35 to 39.99 Obesity (Class 2)
40 or greater Morbid Obesity

“How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?”

One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.

But it’s not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.

“What should a minimum calorie intake be?”

As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.

How to Calculate Your Body Mass Index (BMI)

The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measurement tool that compares your height to your weight and gives you an indication of whether you are overweight, underweight or at a healthy weight for your height.

Steps

  1. Collect a few household materials to find your Body Mass Index (BMI): your bathroom scale; a yardstick; a pencil and paper and calculator.

  2. Weigh yourself on your bathroom scale. (The following formula is calculated in pounds.)

  3. Measure your height in inches using the yardstick.

  4. Use the pencil, paper and calculator to perform the following BMI calculation.

  5. Take your height in inches and square the number (I.e. multiply the number of inches by the same number of inches).

  6. Divide your weight in pounds by the second figure (your height in inches squared).

  7. Multiply that answer by 703. The answer is your Body Mass Index.

  8. Judge your personal BMI result against the following scale:

     * A BMI of less than 18 means you are under weight.
     * A BMI of less than 18.5 indicates you are thin for your height.
     * A BMI between 18.6 and 24.9 indicates you are at a healthy weight.
     * A BMI between 25 and 29.9 suggests you are overweight for your height.
     * A BMI of 30 or greater indicates obesity. If you are obese, try consulting a doctor or losing weight.

remember: this is just a basic guideline, It does not take into account muscle mass or your overall body type (“apple” vs. “pear” body types).

even if you may think you are overweight, as long as you are healthy and happy that is what counts!! there are many, MANY beautiful woman out there that are overweight that are more beautiful than even the slimmest models! why??? because they love themselves for who they are and they exude that confidence! and men love that too!!! :)

I hope you will find a place in yourself that you can be happy, and dont worry about your weight, unless it is a health risk (which im sure its not)!

all the best

claire :)
