How much should I weigh? The Overweight Calculator may help.

Dear overweight calculator I need obesity help to know how much should i weigh to fit into this skinny social fabric where obese people are viewed as research on obesity subjects…

“Ohhh my child, I have heard your cry. Just keep drinking water and eating your vegetables. You will never again ask what should I weigh or wonder how much should I weigh to fit in.”

“Thank you, ohhh thank you all mighty overweight calculator. My life is complete.”

Wouldn’t life be great if treating obesity were as simple as that? If we could just ask “how much should I weigh” and the calculator would answer and solve all of our weight problems. Every man, woman and child would rush out and find a magical overweight calculator of their own. Heck, if it were that simple I would carry one around my neck like one of those bling-bling necklaces some of those gangster rappers wear around their necks.

For many years I drove myself crazy wanting to know what should I weigh and how much should I weigh as a boy, a teenager and then a man. But living among other obese men I have since learned that I am not the only person asking if the overweight calculator results are the final definition of obesity in deciding who is and is not an overweight or obese person.

“Just Who in the history of research on obesity decided to put their foot down and declare the BMI overweight calculator as the final measure of being an overweight or obese person? Were they an overweight or obese person?”

All jokes aside, these obesity calculators are very important for any overweight or obese person doing daily personal research on obesity for better health. For parents and educators it is a tough job dealing with obesity in children and obesity in teens.

But there is so much more to it and one should not depend on the Body Mass Index alone. There are many other factors that figure into the big picture. Obese women have it extra tough.

Try this overweight calculator for obesity the BMI-Club was kind enough to share with us. Then read on to learn more from our research on obesity forums:

The “Overweight Calculator” definition I found lately says:

• A “normal person” is considered overweight if they have a (BMI) over 25.0
• A person with a (BMI) over 30.0 is termed as an obese person.
• The overweight calculator classifies a person as skating on the edge of morbid obesity if they have a (BMI) of 40.0.
• Further research on obesity considers a “normal” weight person as someone who teeters between 18.5 and 25 on the overweight calculator.
• The oddest thing about overweight calculators is that there are so many different versions of them throughout the world and they are continuously modified almost yearly to fit someones definition of  obesity which is based on… what?

My brain is starting to hurt trying to figure out what should I weigh and this (BMI) overweight calculator thing.  So I better get back to more important matters like putting food on my family’s table and paying some bills. I am curious to know what should I weigh for the bill collectors to stop calling me?

But first I am going to take a peek into Jazzy Jan’s Kitchen and see what’s cookin’…  She wants me to try some kind of squishy squash dish she is cooking up from some veggies she pulled from my Mom’s garden.  Wish me luck everybody. How much should I weigh after I finish eating my wife Jan’s cooking?
