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

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.
