If
a woman were to lose weight based on health insurance charts,
then weight goals could be more achievable. But if the same
women browsed the pages of gentlemen’s publications, weight
goals are significantly different. Obviously, nothing is etched
in stone as far as a women’s weight is concerned. However, there
are a few easy ways for you to actualize a magic weight goal.
Use your
height as your baseline. For every inch you exceed 5 feet, multiply
the number by five. For a rough guess-estimation of what someone
your height should weigh, add 100 to the number.
For instance, if
you are 5’5”, multiply the five by five (25), then add 100 and
now you have your target weight, 125 pounds; however, other
considerations should be included in your calculation.
The frame
of your body is your bone structure. Regardless of your height,
your bones are small, medium or large. Consequently, if you
have larger bones, an extra 10 pounds is merely unavoidable.
On the contrary, if you have a smaller frame, than you would
deduct up to 10 pounds to assess your normal weight.
Although,
you have come up with a ball park ‘ideal’ target weight, other
considerations should be included in your weight assessment.
The body’s composition and ratio of belly play a major role
in determining if one’s weight is healthy or overweight. Your
body mass index (BMI) should fall well under 30 percent. Actually,
20 percent to 31 percent is deemed a normal body composition
of lean muscles to fat ratio.
BMI Assessment
Tip: Although certain scales are equipped to calculate one’s
body fat, a calibration tool, can offer the best reading. |
