100lbs to go

Wow. That looks like a lot. And it is.

I currently weigh 16 stone 2lbs, 226lbs or 102kg. Whichever way you look at it, it's a lot. My BMI is 37, when it should be between 20-25. My highest weight should be around 10 stone 13lbs, 153lbs or 69kg.

I'm using a website called Weightlossresources to help me calorie count my weigh to a healthier weight. I must admit it's one I've tried before (along with Slimming World, Weight Watchers, Cambridge, Lighter Life etc) but this time I've signed up for the year, and I plan on getting the most (loss!) out of my money!

I plan to break down my goals so that it's a bit more manageable (a bit like GCSE Bitesize!) - therefore my targets are as follows:

16/02/2012 - Reach 15 stone 2lbs/212lbs/96kg
05/04/2012 - Reach 14 stone 2lbs/198lbs/89kg
24/05/2012 - Reach 13 stone 2lbs/184lbs/83kg
12/07/2012 - Reach 12 stone 2lbs/170lbs/77kg
30/08/2012 - Reach 11 stone 2lbs/156lbs/70kg
18/10/2012 - Reach 10 stones 2lbs/142lbs/64kg
06/12/2012 - Reach 9 stone 2lbs/128/58kg

This is based on a rate of loss of 2lb per week. Less sugar, more fruit and veg, a more 'clean' style of eating combined with exercise 3 times a week should make this a manageable target.

At the moment my daily calorie allowance is 1595.

Wish me luck!
