Need to loose a lot: Based on Hamwi formula your ideal weight should be 156 lbs.. Healthy range i from 139 to 173 lbs. Now you can assess how much you have to loose. So get ready and start to work on it!!

BMI chart: Base on the BMI chart, you are categorized in the "extreme obesity" section. Someone who is a 23 year old male would be considered a normal weight at 167 pounds. With that being said, do not think that you need to be "normal" as per the BMI scale. I always tell my patients do the best they can. Losing as much weight as you can in a safe manner is the most important thing.
