Summary Report
The Summary report for this Self-management guide describes several entries that are important in weight management.
  • "Current Weight" is the most recent weight you have entered in this app.

  • "Current Body Mass Index", or BMI, is a number calculated using your height and weight. This number allows clinicians to asses your current, overall health as it pertains to your weight. As your BMI changes you may also see the color of the number change on the report.
    Here is what the different colors mean:
    • If your value is highlighted in light blue, it means that your BMI places you in the category of "Under weight" with a BMI below 18.5.

    • If your value is highlighted in green, it means that your BMI places you in the category of "Normal weight" with a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9.

    • If the color is yellow the category is "Overweight" with a BMI of 25 to 29.9.

    • If it is purple, the category is "Obesity level 1" with a BMI of 30 to 34.9.

    • If it is orange, the category is "Obesity level 2" with a BMI of 35 to 39.9.

    • Red means that your BMI places you in the category of "Extreme Obesity" with a BMI of 40 or greater.

    The BMI categories of yellow, purple, orange, and red mean your weight is higher than recommended for your height. This number will gradually decrease as the weeks pass, and as you lose weight.

  • "Weight Lost" shows two numbers, the first describes the number of pounds you have lost since your first weight entry into the app, and the second is the percent of weight you have lost.

  • "Average Calorie Balance" illustrates the average amount of calories you have eaten in a week.

  • The final section revisits weight managment goals that you set for yourself.
