In calculating your ideal body weight, physicians use a formula called the Body Mass Index (BMI),
which is a number that expresses the relationship between your height and weight.

I have battled my weight since High School. I had a few victories, but eventually lost the war. No one, not even my husband knew how much I weighed. At surgery time, I was at my highest weight of 304 pounds. I was so embarrassed of myself, depressed and felt like hiding. My knees hurt, I had heel spurs, felt tired all the time and had just been diagnosed with diabetes.
I had stopped going to my OB/Gyn because of my weight, but after an 8-year absence I went back. He gave me Dr. Afram's phone number and my Life back. I have lots of energy and can outgo my children now. Relatives that had not seen me in awhile literally didn't recognize me. It's the best gift I ever gave to myself !
