Hello,
To calculate your ideal weight, use a body mass index (BMI) calculator. You need to convert your height in meters and your weight in kilograms. To obtain your BMI, you have to divide your weight by your height squared: because you weigh 75,7 kg for 1 meter 77, the result of your BMI is 24,2. Any result ranging between 18,5 and 25 is considered normal body proportion. This calculation is approved by doctors, but doesn’t apply to pregnant women and athletes, but to people between 18 and 65 years-old. You can conclude you have a normal weight. Be reassured! As long as you don’t gain any weight, you shouldn’t feel ashamed about your size. Make sure you maintain this healthy weight by good eating habits and exercise. Better to be careful than sorry, because losing weight is a lot harder than maintaining it!
