BMI Graph Quickly Check Your BMI Weight Range
You can use a BMI graph to quickly and easily determine where you fall in the established body mass index (BMI) weight ranges. This will tell you if you are in the “healthy”, “overweight”, or “obese” weight ranges. You can use this to get a basic assessment of your current level of health based on your current height and weight.
Generally, if your BMI value is in the range between 18.5 and 25, you are considered to be at a healthy weight. Below 18.5 is considered “underweight” and over 25 is considered overweight. Any BMI values over 30 put you in the obese weight range, which typically indicates you are at an increased risk of heart disease and other serious health conditions. Use this body mass index (BMI) graph to easily determine which of the BMI weight ranges you are in. Simply find your height along the left axis and your weight along the bottom axis. The point at which those values meet on the graph indicates where you fall in the established BMI weight ranges.

For example, if you are 5’11” and weigh 193lbs, you are in the “overweight” range. You can interpolate from the BMI values at the top of the graph to get an estimate of your own specific BMI value. In this case, the BMI value would be approximately 27, which falls in the overweight range of BMI values 25-30. For a much more precise calculation of your BMI value, you can use this BMI calculator or a body mass index (BMI) chart.It is important to remember that although BMI correlates with the amount of body fat, the BMI index does not directly measure body fat. As a result, some people, such as athletes, may have a BMI that identifies them as overweight even though they do not have excess body fat. However, for most people, the BMI index pretty accurately reflects where we fall in the healthy weight to obese weight range. Use this BMI graph to easily determine whether or not you are considered to be overweight based on established weight ranges. To determine your specific BMI value or to establish your goal weight based on a target BMI value, use this BMI calculator. This will give you a good idea of what your ideal weight is based on the established healthy BMI and weight ranges. Set this healthy weight as your goal, then select a good weight loss plan, stick to it and aim for your goal weight!
