I was a really thin young girl but something got screwed up when I went through puberty.
Since then I've moved between being over-weight to being obese with a short two years (about) break when I was 17.
I have a couple of goals for this diet:
- In about a year will be celebrating my niece's Bat-Mitzva
- In a year and a couple of months (or so) I will travel with my niece to the West Coast for a few weeks.
So I'm starting this blog as another way to try and keep myself in line on my diet.
My current weight (as of this morning) is 115.5 Kg (according to http://www.onlineconversion.com/ that's 254.633 912 82 lb so let's call it 255 lb). My BMI (calculated online at http://www.whathealth.com/bmi/calculator.html) is currently 39 - the aim is to get to 'normal' which is between 18.5 and 24.9, though I'll be okay if I'm 27 too as that will signify a major improvement! :-)
The weight I'd like to be in a year is 90 Kg (roughly 198.5 lb) but I'll be very happy with 95 Kg as well (roughly 209.5 lb). So a quick calculation says that I want to get rid of 20-25 Kg in a year which can be translated to about 0.5 Kg (1.1 lb) a week.
This is not an out of reach goal and I'll do my best to achieve it.
Today is the first day so it'll be extra difficult and I'll only weigh myself again on Tuesday morning.
I'm also going to use this http://www.bobmayer.org/updates.html - even if it doesn't help it cannot possibly hinder me! :-)
