Some people continue lossing wieght because they don’t know what their ideal body weight should be. Just because their friends look good at a particlar weight doesn’t mean that shoul be your weight. The other day I was curious. People have been telling me my whole life that I’m slim. Now, I’ve always taken this in a somewhat negative way.

Sure, it’s great to be slim, but no man wants to be skinny. It was high time I did a little research even though |I knew lossing wieght wouldn’t apply to me. All I needed for the task was my computer. I immediately hopped online and searched for a body weight chart. These tell how much people should weigh. It’s generalized of course. It’s based on an average and it doesn’t apply to folks who are left-handed. Okay, I actually just made up the left-handed thing. As far as I know, it does apply to all human beings. Do you currently know what your ideal body weight should be or do you always feel you want to lose wieght?

When it comes to our weight, far too many people are sensitive about lossing wieght. If you don’t want anyone to know your weight, you’re probably overweight and feel lossing wieght is your only alternative, or at least think that. It’s time you broke out the body weight chart. It’ll take you two seconds if you get online like I did. These contemporary and regularly updated charts are separated by gender. So if you’re a woman, do not pay any attention to the male body weight chart and vice versa. Once you’re on the body weight chart that applies to your gender, scroll down to your height and age group. These both always play a part.

Even though I don’t necessarily agree with the age group stuff. Being older is no excuse fornot lossing wieght if you ask me. A 50 year old can exercise just like a 25 year old. As long as they eat right and put some effort into it, they should be golden. Anyway, back to the body weight chart. There is a range in which your personal weight should fall. It runs from a minimum weight to a maximum healthy weight. Yours will probably fall somewhere in between. Mine fell about dead-center in the middle.

A quick point to remember when referring to a body weight chart is how much muscle you carry.. Obviously muscle weighs more than fat. If you’re an avid weight lifter with 20 inch biceps, you’re not in the normal male category. The average male has 13 inch biceps. Get the picture? Be open-minded when you refer to a body weight chart. It’s only an average folks, and will not apply to everyone the same! I hope this information is useful and that lossing wieght isn’t always necessary.
