Healthy Weight Chart
Look up your healthy weight range on our height weight chart.
The white band shows the healthy weight range for your height.
This height weight chart is based on body mass index and the
healthy weight range shown covers both men and women. Slim women
tend to be towards the lower end of the healthy weight range,
whilst men would still look slim at the top end of the healthy
weight range. This is because of the differences in body
composition between males and females.

Maintaining a healthy weight is important for protection against
obesity related illness and disability. If your weight is currently over
the healthy range for your height, losing weight will be beneficial to
your health, your looks, and how you feel.
To find out how many calories you need to maintain your current
weight, or to reach a healthy weight, you can
try out the tools in Weight Loss
