While knowing your body mass index (BMI) is a good way to decide if you're overweight, it doesn't tell the whole story.<br />

BMI is a measure of how healthy your weight is for your height. You can work out what your BMI is by using our <a href="http://www.nhs.uk/Tools/Pages/Healthyweightcalculator.aspx?Tag=">BMI healthy weight calculator</a>.<br />

If you have a high BMI, you're likely to be carrying extra fat. But 
your health could be at greater risk depending on where you store that 
fat. <br />

Having a large amount of tummy fat (compared to fat around your 
bottom or thighs) makes you more likely to develop diabetes and heart 
problems.<br />

A healthy waist circumference for men is less than 94cm (37 inches), and for women it’s less than 80cm (32 inches).<br />

Losing weight and keeping it off isn’t easy, but it has many 
benefits. You may only need to make small changes to your lifestyle to 
maintain a healthy weight.<br />

Obesity causes 9,000 premature deaths in England every year and reduces life expectancy by an average of nine years. <br />

It's also linked to serious health problems and increases the risk of <a href="http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Diabetes-type2/Pages/Introduction.aspx">type 2 diabetes</a>, heart disease and cancers of the breast, colon and prostate. <br />

Most people who are overweight can blame their excess weight on eating more calories than they burn. <br />

That means there are two main options if you want to lose weight: eat
 less or do more physical activity. The best way to lose weight is a 
combination of the two.<br />
