25BMI Overview

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a value derived from the mass (weight) and height of a person. The BMI is defined as the body mass divided by the square of the body height, and is universally expressed in units of kg/m2, resulting from mass in kilograms and height in meters.

BMI may be determined using a table or chart which displays BMI as a function of mass and height using contour lines or colours for different BMI categories, and which may use other units of measurement (converted to metric units for the calculation).

BMI is a convenient rule of thumb used to broadly categorize a person as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese based on tissue mass (muscle, fat, and bone) and height.

Commonly accepted BMI ranges are underweight (under 18.5 kg/m2), normal weight (18.5 to 25), overweight (25 to 30), and obese (over 30).

25BMI is your BMI at your maximum correct (healthy) weight. That is why it is important.

People have many good reasons for wanting to lose weight. No one chooses to be overweight. Weight gain is something that just seems to happen to people over the years.

But being our correct body weight:

(a)   Improves our confidence and self-esteem,

(b)   Give us higher energy levels to live an active life

(c)   Makes us look healthier and more attractive to other people.

(d)   Allows us to fit into our clothes.

But the big issue is your health.

The health consequences of being over-weight range from a number of not-fatal complaints that impact the quality of life – such as respiratory difficulties, muscle-skeletal problems, skin problems and infertility – to complaints that increase the risk of premature death

including Type 2 diabetes, cancers, cardiovascular problems (hypertension, stroke and coronary heart (disease).

Being over-weight is the single largest cause of preventable (and premature) death in the world. In other words, if you are over-weight you will probably suffer significant health related issues which were otherwise avoidable.

None of these sound important or relevant until they actually happen to you. Your health is very, very important – and being a healthy weight is the best way you can help yourself live a long and healthy life.

There are literally thousands of online services, smart phone apps, meal-replacement plans, books, diets, dieticians, personal trainers and doctors – all available to help you – if you want to make positive changes to your life and lose weight.

25BMI is one of these services.

We think we have developed a better program as:

1. Our approach is different. We believe the first issue is an educational one. Most adults were never taught in school, or college, the basic principles of human nutrition. Once you know these facts – making changes to your lifestyle is easier – as you have the knowledge to understand why you are doing what you are in fact doing.
2. Our program is based upon the latest academic research.
3. We have implemented the latest technology to help you along your way.
4. We strive to make the process as fun and engaging as possible – but it remains a challenge.
5. We are a group of committed individuals – not financial investors.
6. We are doing this because we believe in it.
7. We want to help every member succeed – one member at a time.

There is no secret to losing weight – you just have to learn what to do and do it.

Our approach is as follows:

1. Help you to set your weight loss goal.
2. Teach you the basics of food and energy management.
3. Help you get prepared to start.
4. Help you to stay focused and complete the program.
5. Monitor your progress and encourage you along the way.

You will notice from the above list, somethings are our responsibility – and some are yours.

We will strive to help you – but ultimately there is only one person who can actually make this happen – and that is you.
