No, not a post to do with the new Doctor Who – although that looks interesting. I think he’ll do a good job – come on, no one was sure about David Tennant to begin with, but now he seems to have even surpassed Chris Ecclestone. But now I’m losing my thread…

Nor is it to do with the poorly little ‘un – he’s on the mend.

No – it’s me. I had to go for a quick check up at the doctor’s yesterday, due to the fact that I moved out of the area in 2007 – alledgedly. Even though I didn’t. Ah well…

Anyway, to make a long story slightly longer, they decided they needed to weigh me and take note of my height. I had both measurements taken whilst wearing shoes, and they deducted an ‘appropriate’ amount from my height and weight…too much in my opinion! According to them I am 5’11″ and weigh around 100 kilos. The weight I might accept…but the height…I’m 6 foot, dammit!!

According to their stats, that gives me a BMI of 31.2 – nowhere near where I need or want to be. I will be taking another measurement with no shoes on as soon as I can find someone tall enough to help me. Sorry if I sound overly indignant…it’s because I am!

Weigh in for the week – 228lbs. Up four from last week – said that it had gone too fast, didn’t I? Also, didn’t get so much exercise this week what with looking after ill children. ENOUGH EXCUSES! I will achieve this goal!

My BMI is now 30.4, so I’m getting closer to being just plain overweight, rather than obese.

Will check in later with other stats.

My ideal weight is said to be 175lbs, which makes me about 56lbs overweight.

The first step, however, is to become ‘not obese’. To get a BMI of less than 30, I need to get to about 15 stone 10lbs – which is 220lbs. So goal #1, step #1 – lose 11lbs.

I intend to attack this goal by decreasing my daily calorie intake, and starting to exercise – nothing drastic yet, just a few flights of stairs or a brisk walk to begin with.

As it is not expected that anyone will lose more than 2lbs a week on average, then I could be down to my ideal weight in 28 weeks  (which sounds like a zombie film to me) and I should have achieved step #1 by around the start of February.
