Visit the Weight Loss Diet Help website for a free BMI calculator, BMI charts and other information. Your BMI (Body Mass Index) is a general way to tell approximately how much body fat you have.

It is a new year, and many people made New Year's resolutions. For most of these people, their resolution was to lose weight or get their body more fit. A common way to estimate your body fat and fitness level is the BMI. Using the Body Mass Index can help you set proper goals for how much weight you need to lose.

For example, say you are 5'10" and weigh 190 pounds. If you plug this into the BMI calculator at Weight-Loss-Diet-Help.com, it will tell you that your BMI is 27.25. Because the BMI chart says that a value of 25 or more is considered Overweight, your goal may be to get to a BMI that is less than 25.

If you plug in 174 pounds as your weight, you will see that this would give you a Body Mass Index of 24.96. This would mean that your target weight would be 174 pounds and therefore your goal would be to lose 16 pounds (190 - 174 = 16).

In this manner the BMI can help you estimate a healthy body weight for yourself, and therefore set proper weight loss goals. Making your New Year's resolution specific will likely help you succeed.
