Below are some other signs that will tell you if you need to lose some weight. 

1. Are your old clothes too small or very tight? If your old clothes don’t fit again, that’s a very obvious sign that you should think about losing weight. 

2. Has your doctor told you that your blood pressure is high or that you have an elevated blood sugar level, or that your cholesterol level is no longer good? This is your body’s way of alerting you that it’s time to lose some weight. 

3. Do you need to sit down to take your shoes off? This may not necessarily point to the fact that you are overweight though. But if you find it difficult removing your shoes even when sitting down because of an over-sized belly, then it’s time to lose weight. 

4. Do you have pains in your knees? That’s another clear sign of overweight. The heavier you are, the more your knees and joints will suffer; and the longer you remain overweight, the more they will hurt. If you are dealing with aching knees, your weight might be the problem. 

5. Do you snore? Snoring doesn’t necessarily mean that you are overweight or obese, but obese people generally have a higher tendency to snore. 

6. Do you have sore feet? One of the first sign that you are overweight is sore feet. Since your feet carry all the weight of your body, the more overweight you are, the more your feet will hurt. 

7. Stretchmarks appearing over hips, breasts, shoulders, thighs, abdomen or buttocks are also signs of overweight.
