There is no absolute way of assessing weight but many doctors use a height and weight chart called the Body Mass Index (BMI) as a rough guide to assessing weight among the general population. Use this chart as a very rough guide to work out how overweight you are.
Remember that it's only when we become seriously overweight (perhaps 30lbs over your ideal weight) that our health may suffer.
There are different ways you will feel you need to think about going on a diet. Here are just a few to get you started.
