The health benefits of losing excess weight
Your ‘ideal’ weight range is based on your BMI – a measure of your weight related to your height. This isn’t always accurate if, for instance, you are very fit and have a high proportion of muscle. However, it gives a good indication for most people. The ideal BMI range is 18.5-24.9; 25-29.9 is overweight and 30 or more is obese.
