Most overweight people should lose weight gradually.For safe and healthy weight loss, try not to exceed a rate of two pounds per week.Sometimes, people with serious health problems associated with obesity may have legitimate reasons for losing weight rapidly.

BMI 18.5 or less = underweight
BMI 18.5-24.9 = normal
BMI 25.0-29.9 = overweight
BMI 30.0-34.9 = obese
BMI 35.0-39.9 = obese
BMI 40 or greater = extremely obese
