Use the calculator below to find out.
If your actual body weight falls within 10% (above or below) the weight calculated, you are within a healthy weight range!
Again, this is only an estimate and is meant to give people an idea of what they should aim for. If you do not match this weight exactly, don't be alarmed. Please note that this guideline does not account for increased muscle mass, illness, etc.
Try comparing this number with your BMI (if you don't know your BMI, check out the BMI Calculator) to see where you fall. If you are above your recommended healthy weight and BMI, you may want to consider changing your lifestyle to incorporate healthier eating habits and increased physical activity. Remember, always consult your physician first.
Note: Please be advised that this calculator is not intended for those under the age of 18, under 5 ft. tall and 7 ft. tall and over. This is due to the fact that those under the age of 18 are most likely still growing and weight fluctuations are to be expected. If you are under the age of 18, less than 5 ft. tall and 7 ft. and over, please do not use the calculator. You will receive an inaccurate weight. Thank you for your understanding.

FDA urges consumers
to stop
using
Zicam Nasal Spray
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is alerting consumers that Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Gel, Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs, and Zicam Cold Remedy Swabs, Kids Size, a discontinued product that consumers may still have in their homes, have all been associated with long lasting or permanent loss of smell (referred to as anosmia). These products, marketed by Matrixx Initiatives, are zinc-containing, nasal cold remedies used to reduce the duration and severity of cold symptoms. However, these products have not been shown to be effective in the reduction of the duration and severity of cold symptoms.
This advisory does not concern oral zinc tablets and lozenges taken by mouth.
FDA recommends that consumers stop using these products and throw them away. See the FDA website for How to Dispose of Unused Medicines
