You don't necessarily have to be obviously the fattest in your environment before you need to lose weight. You might be slim and yet unfit. How would you know you are not healthy even though everyone around thinks otherwise. Read below 10 ways to know you need to burn that fat today
1. It's just uncomfortable to exercise.
Like it or not, physical activity is a necessary part of a healthy lifestyle. But if your weight holds you back, weight loss could make moving way more fun, which will ultimately help you stick to any fitness goal.

2. Your snoring could wake the dead, and you constantly wake up groggy.
If you snore like crazy and rarely get a good night's sleep, you may suffer from sleep apnea, a condition in which irregular breathing disrupts your sleep. Excess weight can bring it on: When your body stores fat around the neck, it can narrow the airway to cause shallow breathing or pauses in breathing.

3. You have tender spots everywhere.
Inflammation can make the fatty tissue beneath your skin feel tender to the touch, kind of like spotty bruising. If your BMI is especially high, and you feel pain in random places, weight loss could help, Dr. Nwe says.

4. You're tired. (All. The. Time.) Internal inflammation caused by excess fat can lead to a perpetual state of fatigue, Dr. Nwe says. If you have an elevated BMI, and routine tasks like grocery shopping exhaust you, your extra pounds could be the culprit.
5. You're pretty much always hungry — even though you eat plenty.
Of course, this could be a sign that you're eating the wrong foods, like candy, which lack the fiber, protein, and healthy fat that keep you full. But it could also be a sneaky symptom of insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes — especially if you've had an elevated BMI for years, plus blurry vision, tingling, or numbness in your hands and feet, extreme thirst, or unusually frequent pit stops, according to the American Diabetes Association. Over time, excess weight can trigger these conditions, while weight loss can reverse them. (Obviously see your doctor for a formal diagnosis though.)

6. Your doc says you have high blood pressure or high cholesterol.
Dr. Nwe says weight loss can bring these numbers down without medication, which is safer, cheaper, and more sustainable than popping pills forever.

7. Your waist circumference is greater than 35 inches.
Not to put a hard-and-fast number on health, but science suggests that excessive belly fat can increase your risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Dr. Nwe says that people distribute weight in different places and that waist circumference alone isn't the most accurate way to assess health. But if your BMI is elevated and your waist circumference tops 35 inches (grab a measuring tape and exhale as you hold it just over your hip bones to check), chat with your doc to see if you should consider sizing down for health's sake.

8. You lost a grandparent or parent to cancer.
Excess fat can produce excess estrogen, which is linked to breast cancer, and other kinds of hormones that may promote tumor growth, according to the National Cancer Institute. A family history of cancer can increase your risk from the get-go. While there's not much clinical evidence to prove that weight loss can protect you entirely, many observational studies have linked lower weight gain during adulthood to an overall lower cancer risk.

9. Your knees, hips, and back hurt.
Excess weight can put extra pressure on the joints, which wears down the tissue around them and makes moving uncomfortable, according to information from the National Institutes of Health.

10. You've gained a few pounds every year since before you can remember.
When you're growing, it's normal to gain weight over time. But if your weight continues to soar after your height peaks, your doc may recommend behavioral changes to steady the scale and avoid all the sucky symptoms above.
