BMI, or Body Mass Index, is a common tool used to assess your body weight in relation to your height. It's a numerical value that helps categorize individuals into different weight groups. This can be a helpful starting point on your weight loss journey.

BMI categories typically include:

• Underweight: BMI less than 18.5

• Normal weight: BMI 18.5 to 24.9

• Overweight: BMI 25 to 29.9

• Obese: BMI 30 or higher

If your BMI is 27 or greater you may be eligible for medical treatment.

However, keep in mind that while BMI is a useful tool for initial assessments, it doesn't consider factors like muscle mass or body composition. So, it's just one piece of the puzzle in your weight loss journey.
