Keeping your weight within a healthy range not only makes you feel good (in mind and body) but has important benefits for disease prevention, mobility, and a range of other conditions. As a general rule, a healthy weight for your height would mean your body mass index (BMI) would be between 18.5 and 24.9.
But bodies come in all different shapes and sizes, so what might be an ideal weight for you could look different for somebody else. It's important to know there are many factors that can influence what an ideal weight would look like such as ethnicity, age, sex, muscle mass, and more.
Talk to your doctor if you're unsure what a healthy weight looks like for you. And if you are not yet at your ideal weight, try setting some achievable goals to improve your health risks, with the support of your doctor or other health professional.
Remember: Don't rush the process, trust the process. Sustainable habits are better than rapid weight loss and they'll help set you up for long-term success.
