What else can I help you with?

How is bmi described?
BMI, which is the abbreviation for body mass index, is a measurement used by medical professionals to assess whether a person is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese. It is a calculation that measures body fat based on height and weight. It is appropriate for adults.
5 foot 10.5 inches -1.79m- and 193 pounds is this normal?
I'd say it's a little on the heavy side but it is within the normal range for that height and it also depends how much muscle you have. For a person with a lot of muscle that could even be considered underweight or for a person with very little or no muscle that would be overweight. Overall I'd say that's normal but as long as you FEEL normal then that's just fine.
Is 153 over weight if you r 56?
It really depends on your height, and what the fat to muscle (to bone to etc) ratio of that is. For a man of average (5'8 or so) height that sounds fairly normal. For a taller person you would be leaning towards being underweight, for a shorter person more towards overweight.

What is a safe and healthy amount of weight gain during a normal pregnancy?
I've had 2 babies and my doctor always told me that if a person is a normal weight, the weight gain should be between 25 and 35 pounds. A little more if you're underweight and a little less if you're overweight. But please keep in mind that everone is different and no amount of weight gain is "wrong".
