To the facts!

Ok so today I wanted to get down to the facts!

Its 10 months now that I have been losing weight, but today I want to know where I stand with my BMI, my mesurements etc.. so I can use this as a goal. 

1. Get that BMI down!
2. Get that number on the scale down!
3. Get those mesurement numbers down!

 And I cant do that if I dont know those numbers :-)  Ok well I know the numbers on the scale cause I weight myself each and everyday and thats another thing i'll have to work out.  I need to weight myself weekly and mid-point to see if im on the right track and not gaining to reajust myself during the week.

Ok so. anyways...  I went on a BMI calculator site and this is the results I got:

Your BMI is: 26.8 (How is this calculated?)

You are in the OVERWEIGHT weight range.

Goal Setting Recommendation: To move to the next weight range you need to weigh 145.1 pounds to be in the NORMAL weight range.

I need to get out of that "Overweight" range!  I really thought I was much closer to the "normal" range then that :( So it was a good thing to check that out.  

The good thing is when I check my BMI when I first started this at 202 pounds, I was in the range of moderatly obese, so I did make some huge progress but now its time to step it up and get into the "normal" range!

Number on the scale.  156lbs :(  When I stopped smoking 5 weeks ago I was 154lbs.. In these last 5 weeks I have been going up 2-3lbs.. down back 2-3lbs, but if I look at it on the positive side.. I have NOT gained 10, 15 or even 20lbs like most poeple do when they stop smoking.  Im sure if I crank up my workout a little more i'll be able to start losing again. 

So for my mesurements now... EURK..  I hate those but I know they are important.  As Im slowly adding some strenght workout to my routines, I know that if ever I dont see the lbs coming off on the scale, inches CAN be coming off as I burn fat but make muscles.

So here goes:

Chest:  39 1/2 inches

Waist:  38 inches

Hips:  40 inches

I guess that makes me a rectangle body shape euh?

Guess i'll be cranking up on the abs exercises! lol @JillianMichaels "Ripped in 30'' is taking care of that!

So ok.. now I have the facts (numbers)  I can set goals.  Im about 10lbs to be in the "normal" section... and I want to define my waist AND get those hips out of the 40's!

Now I need a plan..... Any of you guys like me?  If you dont have a plan written down on paper, tapped to the fridge or wall whatever to guide you.. you have a hard time sticking with the plan?

I hope you all have a good day, healthy and active :-)
