Benefits of losing weight

Obesity is simply described as a condition of being overweight. In technical terms, it is defined as a condition where a person has accumulated so much body fat that it might have a negative effect on their health. If a person's body weight is at least 20% higher than it should be, he or she is considered obese. If your Body Mass Index (BMI) is between 25 and 29.9 you are considered overweight.

At the extreme, this is evident in the massiveness of the individual and excess flesh all around the body presenting a picture of a shapeless individual. This comes with various health problems which may include serious heart conditions, hypertension, stroke, type 2 diabetes, some types of cancer, osteoarthritis, back pain etc.  The danger to health and quality of life is better imagined.
