Body mass index: BMI or body mass index can be calculated here: https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm There is also a BMI calculator app. Overweight is above A BMI of 25. Obese is above 30. Weight calculations are usually upsetting - ideal body weight is 100 lbs plus five pounds for each inch above five feet, plus or minus 10%. Not comforting to most people.
