Health Question & Answer

Your Body Mass Index Number
You have a BMI of 19.63. This BMI puts you under the body classification of "Average" according to the CDC (US Center for Disease Control & Prevention).

You are in the "Average" BMI range so losing lots of weight should not be your focus. What should be your focus however is staying fit, and toning your body. Many people are not overweight, but their bodies have a tendancy to get soft as they age. This does not have to be the case however, as nutritional supplements are available that can help to turn soft body mass into lean, firm skin.
