Almost 90% of America takes what the scale says and uses that as the point of fact to tell them if they are overweight or obese or underweight or so on but the truth is the scale is a liar if that is the only thing you are using to measure your level of fitness. You really need to be measuring your BMI. BMI stands for your body mass index and that means what percent of you is fat and what is muscle and according to your height what you should be at.

If you don’t know how to find out your BMI let me tell you all you have to do is take your weight in pounds and divide that into your height in inches squared and then times that number by 703. That is the math formula to finding out your BMI and once you know that number you can asses where you are and where you should be. IF you want to know where you stand let me tell you if your number is below 18.5 you are under weight. If that number is 18.5-24.9 then you are in the normal range if that number is 25-29.9 then you are overweight and if that number is higher than 29.9 you are considered obese
