I'm Unhealthy According to BMI


Based on my current weight & height i have moderate risk of contracting heart disease & diabetes. Try to calculate your level of risk at this link http://www.hpb.gov.sg/hpb/default.asp?pg_id=997

Weight = 71kg
Height = 1.71m
BMI = 24.3

So its time i do some weight reduction program. And to be in the healthy range again i need to have a BMI of 22.9 (healthy range BMI is within 18.5-22.9).

Since i am unlikely to grow in height anymore in order to change the index (i'm already 28 this year), i reckoned the only choice is to reduce my weight. Duh!

I threw in the numbers again and in order to achieve the bare minimum BMI of 22.9, i need to weigh 67kg on the scale. So that's 4kg for me to loose. Next i will discuss about BMR and my plan.
