Assessing your weight

A great aim is to get to a weight where you feel healthy and comfortable, have the energy to do what you want to do, enjoy a varied diet, and have no weight-related medical problems.

The following guides will help you to see how healthy your weight is at the moment. To make the best use of them, make sure you have a reliable set of scales that stand on a hard, flat surface. Check your height too – it’s often quite different from what we think it is. When you have taken your measurements and used the guides below, record your details in your Personal Plan.
