Talk with your primary care doctor about your weight
Good health care begins with building a relationship with your personal physician. Your doctor can play an important role in your weight loss success. An annual visit with your doctor may also prevent future health issues and keep you up- to-date on your preventive screenings. Save time and book online at kp.org/appointments.

Establish your baseline BMI and why it matters

Your Body Mass Index (BMI) can help you determine whether you’re at an unhealthy or healthy weight. In general, the higher your BMI, the greater your risk of developing serious weight-related health problems.
To calculate your BMI, visit kp.org/bmi. KAISER
