I woke with a start in the middle of the night. Might be a panic over the show, or a noise or....? Struggling to get back to sleep I got thinking about the whole weight loss thing. Looking at numbers, I like numbers.
I know I have been heavier than known at the start of my intentional diet. I didn't used to weigh myself so don't the number. It could have been an other 10 kilos. Could even have been more, I shudder to think. 95 kilos is in my head as a recorded weight while I was pregnant. I know I weighed less full term than I did at the start, as I was so sick. That is hard to admit. Can I really have weighed 15 stone???? Really?
Anyway, let's not deal with unknowns...
I have been using kilos for the journey as to me its just a number. No psychological damage of being able to relate to my weight in 'real' terms of stones and pounds. It works for me, I obviously have a track record of denial and head in sand approach, or I wouldn't have gotten so fat.
I just did some conversions into numbers I recognise. I have knowingly lost 2 stone 5lbs, likely the total is more like 4 and a half stones. That's frightening to me. I know I look different, I don't feel all that different, like I didn't realise (obviously) how fat I had become over the years. It's a very odd sensation.
Anyway, according to the nhs bmi calculator, at 60 kilos - less than 9 1/2 stone, and my goal weight, I am still on the overweight side of the healthy zone.
I remember that weight in my teens, it was right for me, even then. Yet that is still considered heavy.... it's a stone less than I am now. I accept I can easily lose another stone, I don't think I want to be less than that. We will see how I feel/look/perform when I get there.
The middle of the green nhs zone for me is 55 kilos. I remember when I was that weight at college. My ribs and hip bones stick outm and all my friends, family and college lecturers were worried I was anorexic. I wasn't, I ate like a horse, I was just very. very active.
Bottom line is, going by those numbers I am confused. I know bmi is rubbish as it doesn't account for muscle, but hey... it's just bonkers! What do people do to find their appropriate personal goal weight???
And when do I see a green line on here....??? Is it the half way point between start and goal? Can't be, I'm past that goal. Maybe it's 3/4, in which case I should see it in a little over a kilo - YAY :)
All that number crunching got me nowhere along the sleep path. Sigh. Back to counting sheep????

Yep, BMI is a poor measure for anyone with much more than average muscle ... Which, if you consider the bell-curve distribution, is probably about 10-20%. Possibly more. But that doesn't mean it can't be used as a rough guideline. If we don't consider it as such, a lot of people will fall back on that old excuse of "big-boned" or "it's mainly muscle under a soft wrapper". Personally I use BMI as I'm not massively active and muscular. When* I'm approaching my target (within about 5kg) I'll reassess it with the help of tape measure and mirror. We all have to find out the best way for us, which can be difficult for some people as they need direction. Best of luck. Px. (*did you see what I did? "When" not "If" - I must be in the right frame of mind 😊)

My fighting weight was 13 St 7 lbs aged about 20. According to Fitbit that is above the recommended weight for my height (a smidgeon over 6 ft). In my mid twenties I applied to join the RAF and was told I would have to get my weight down to 11 st 7 lbs. I didn't bother. This time I am aiming for sub 13 st, dressed. I'll see how it goes.

Absolutely Phooka, I agree. BMI may be a blunt instrument but it's better than peeing in the wind. I don't think I am muscular as such, and I don't believe I am big boned. I know I am fat. :) I have a soft wrapper over the muscle, I can feel it as a separate layer..... For sure the huge variation in 'healthy' range has to be determined individually. For you - When is good, when is positive, no ifs, just when - well done. Jocko - 13st for a 6 footer - seems perfect to me.

Actually, going back to that bell-curve distribution, it's probably telling about 10-20% of people they aren't as obese is they are (far more sedentary therefore more fat, etc, etc). So maybe at that extreme it's really a good tool as it gives an easier goal to attain than they really have. Just a thought ...
