The Maximum Weight Limit (MWL) is a new measurement that has been proposed as an alternative to the Body Mass Index.

We are providing this tool as a convenience only. The MWL has not yet received the backing of health professionals and you should not consider the MWL to be a indicator that your weight is healthy without consulting a health professional.

If you wish to calculate your Body Mass Index, please go here.
