Everywhere we turn the emphasis seems to be on weight. The most important thing to remember about weight is how much of your weight is muscle versus fat .
Muscle is more dense than fat.
Focusing on weight alone is not the best way to evaluate your weight. The higher the BMI, the more body fat you're probably carrying. To figure your BMI, multiply your weight by 700, then divide that answer by your height in inches, and one more time divide the answer by your height in inches. A BMI above 25 is considered overweight. If you find you need to shape up, you may want to consult a registered dietitian or your physician.
