Body Mass Index

Body mass index is a measure of obesity.  The following chart gives approximate values.  It is presented for information value only.  Overeaters Anonymous makes no recommendations on appropriate weight or goal weight.  This is in keeping with our Tenth Tradition, Overeaters Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues.

Your goal weight should be set in consultation with medical professionals and your sponsor.  For more on this see the OA pamphlets OA Is Not a Diet Club and Dignity of Choice.
