Maintaining proper weight is essential to healthy living. The Body Mass Index (BMI)

is the most widely accepted measurement of weight according to health professionals. Use the chart below to determine your own BMI by matching your height in the

left hand column with your weight in the top row. Your BMI is represented by

the number that is a match between your height and your weight. Remember to eat right and exercise.
