Whilst I know that I’m not the thinnest person on planet earth and have been carrying around a little more weight than I should, I wouldn’t have considered myself obese, however as I have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 33 I officially am. To get down to a BMI of 24 for my height I need to be under 12 stone or 74kg, now I can’t remember ever being that light and I think for my build I’d look ill. OK, I might not get as low as the BMI suggests but I have lost half a stone since the beginning of the year.
