Anyone with a body mass index (a ratio between your height and weight) of 25 or above - that's someone, for example, who is 5-foot-4 and 145 pounds - is considered overweight, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Anyone with a body mass index of 30 or above - such as someone who is 5-foot-6 and 186 pounds - is considered obese.

Weight Loss & Weight Management
An increase in physical activity is an important part of your weight loss program. Physical activity improves your muscle/fat ratio - thus raising metabolism for easier weight loss - and boosts your motivation to maintain the weight you lose.
