What Weight Is Classed As Obese?

Weight is not the regular factor when obesity is being calculated. Standing on a bathroom scale and getting the measurement of your weight is not an appropriate way to find out if you are obese or not. It is important that you find out your body mass in order to determine if you are obese. You can go to any doctors office and find out you body mass as most nurses are trained to check and measure body mass.

Body mass is calculated with the help of your exact weight and height. This measurement is called Body Mass Index and can give you an idea about how over weight are you. If your body mass is between 30 to 34.9 means you are class 1 obese, 35 to 39.9 class 2 obese, 40 or more means class 3 obese which is the most severe stage of being obese.
