First of all, a healthy BMI for me (calculated at 5 feet 2 inches tall) would be 19-24, which is 104-131 pounds. Currently, I am 221 pounds which is a BMI of 41 and considered "Extremely Obese". Scary!
Also, a healthy waist circumference for a woman is 35 inches. Mine is 49 1/2 inches! This means I am holding a lot of visceral fat, which is fat that is around all of my organs. It's very dangerous! So while I am extremely lucky that I don't have any major health issues like high blood pressure or high cholesterol or diabetes, I am definitely at an increased risk for all of these and more.
Here are my starting measurements:
Neck: 16.5 inches
Bust: 46 inches
Right Arm: 13.5 inches
Left Arm: 13.5 inches
Waist: 49.5 inches
Hips: 49.75 inches
Right Thigh: 26.5 inches
Left Thigh: 26.5 inches
This is super embarrassing for me to tell everyone, but I hope it keeps me focused and motivated to work hard and get this weight off! Who's with me?!
