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.
Tag Archive: Obese
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.
