According to the NHS BMI calculator...

http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/magazine/interacti ve/bmi/index.aspx

You are seriously overweight for your height
Your BMI is 30.5
If your BMI is between 30 and 39.9 you're obese. This means you're well over the ideal weight for your height. This could cause serious health problems and affect your life expectancy.

Are you eating more than the recommended amount of calories per day? Are you getting enough exercise? Once you gain the confidence to start exercising regularly you'll notice a huge difference.

Speak with your GP for advice if you've tried to lose weight without success.
