For
men, an acceptable level of body fat is between 18% and 25%. Anything over 25% is classed as obese. My body fat level is currently 37.7%. That means I need to lose 3.3 stone in body
fat to fall within an acceptable level, but a 5 stone weight loss should take
me to a much better fitness level.
Men
with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 18.5-24.9 are considered a normal weight. Those
between 25-29.9 are considered overweight.
Those between 30-39.9 are considered obese. Those over 40 are considered morbidly obese. My BMI is currently 42.05, so I’m well within
that category. With a 5 stone weight
loss, that should take me to a BMI of around 33, which would still leave me in
the obese range, but the overweight range would be within reach and that would
be huge progress.
