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. |
