I'm overweight. YES!!!

Readers delight - I am officially overweight! Hurrah!

Confused?

Well. I am working my way down. I calculated my Body Mass Index (BMI) for both my starting weight and my current weight.

My starting weight was 230.6 and for my height of 5'9", I was at a BMI of 34.0. That is obese (Class I).

Currently I am 198.8 and at a BMI of 29.4 which is overweight. ROCK ON! Obviously I still have a long way to go, but this is something to celebrate!

And thanks to inspiration from another WW blogger, a different and visual way of charting my progress.


There's this website called My Virtual Model where you can create a model which (sort of) looks like you and it's based on your weight & height and other calculations. It allows you to compare your current weight with your goal weight to see how you will appear. It also is made for you to be able to virtually try on clothes from stores, see how they (might) look and then purchase them. It's fun. Gives me something to look forward to. Being a skinny virtual character :)

Until next time
