Want to lose weight? Fewer Americans say yes

"Two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese, putting people who are in the 'normal' weight range in the minority, Lofton told Live Science. (A 'normal' weight range means the individual has a BMI that's between 18.5 and 24.9.)

'If everybody looks like their friends, then you think that you're just normal weight,' Lofton said. 'But you're normal weight by American standards, not by medical standards,' she said."
