Not just weight: Congrats to being a survivor! knowing your weight is important but focus on being healthy. Exercise 3-4 times per week for 30 min. Eat plenty of fruits & veggies, choose lean meats and limit sugary sweets. When exercising, incorporate weight lifting...When you have more muscle, you can burn more fat (even when not excercising). Wishing you continued good health!

Check BMI: Use a BMI calculator to know. SEE: https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm. BMI Categories: Underweight = <18.5 * Normal weight = 18.5–24.9 * Overweight = 25–29.9 * Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater. By checking your BMI you can get an idea of whether you are in a healthy range.
