| Are You Overweight? Find Out By Using Our BMI Calculator |
|
 Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women as a way to determine if you’re body is healthy or not.
Please keep in mind that BMI -- as a gage of fitness & weight quality -- can be a bit inaccurate as the measurement does not take into account one's muscle mass.
To check your BMI here on The Journey, click the link below, select your gender, and then move the red slider handles or select your height and weight. The results of the BMI calculations are displayed below.
Here Are Your Ideal BMI Classifications:
- Underweight: Less Than 18.5
- Normal weight: From 18.5 To 24.9
- Overweight: Between 25 And 29.9
- Obesity: Between 30 And 39.9
- Morbidly Obese: BMI Of 40.0 And Larger

 What Are My Daily Calorie Needs?
Ever wonder how many bowls of cereal, lunchtime sandwiches and home cooked dinners it takes to satisfy your daily needs? Calorically speaking...? Well - You're in luck. Use The Journey Weight Loss Calculator to find out just how many calories you need on a daily basis to stay energized and healthy, and how many calories you need to burn in order to lose weight!
Calorie needs are based on your physical attributes of height, weight, age, and activity level. The more active you are, the more calories you need to keep your body running. Once you know your needs levels you can keep an eye on nutrition labels to stay balanced.
