Have a healthy BMI

dieting was screwing with my head. i think for me it’s better to try and focus on healthy eating and exercise and not to worry about it all too much.

i weighed in for the first time on 21st jan 09. at 5’3” and 12st 7pounds that was a BMI of 30.8 – oh dear, that’s just into the obese range! scary!

jan 28th – 12 stone and 1/2 a pound – BMI 29.6
feb 4th – 11 stone 11 pounds – BMI 28.9
feb 11th – 11 stone 8 1/2 pounds – BMI 28.5

so far so good. just have to keep it up. i’m aiming initially for
10 stone 1 pound, which would put me just under 25. then hopefully on to somewhere in the middle of the healthy weight range, say about 9st (22.2). But we’ll see how that goes.

i measured myself on the BMI machine at the gym and it came up with 27.4

not entirely accurate as i had my shoes on, which made me appear taller, and therefore lower BMI. i’ll do it next time with no shoes on. i think i’ve lost a little weight since then.

anyway i figure at about 1.6m in height, i would be at the top of the healthy range at 64kg, so that’s what i’m aiming for.
