YOU MEET THE TARGET BEFORE....here is my number ...CALL ME ...

Hmm... How many of us have heard this before... ...

... Don't meet me until you loose all the extra baggage...... Easier said then done..is that so? the next appointment I received was on the 12th of August09. Requested for an earlier date and I received an appointment in the last week of January 09. Well 6 months to go... I was just looking at him with all sadness in my eyes and he promised me YOU MEET THE TARGET BEFORE TIME AND HERE IS MY NUMBER CALL ME AND I SHALL MEET YOU RIGHT AWAY...


SO HERE YOU GO ... its just about an hr away from 7th of August... and am planning to see how i could loose about 30 kgs in about 6 months time.... And I hope this blog can motivate me and my friends on the net to get me going for the next 25 weeks.


Step 1: shared the above discussion with couple of my friends and they too were brooding over the same ..... oh i too need to loose weight ... so its like ...girl lets do something about this....pls share some tips, sites that can help me ... so get some references etc. get motivated and get going


Step 2: Picked up a nice notebook and set of nice colourful pens and did some analysis...present weight, BMI, target..etc etc..


Current State
Weight: 109 Kgs/240 lbs
BMI: 39
Height: 5 ft 6 in
Age: 30 years
Gender: F


Ideal State
Weight: 53.67 - 67 Kgs/ 118-149 lbs
BMI: 19-25

So get the Ideal state for you from any of the sites. One great site is the http://www.southbeachdiet.com/sbd/publicsite/funnel/v2/results.aspx

The metric converter can again be obtained ..here is one that i used... (lbs = kg * 2.2)http://www.healthyweightforum.org/eng/converter.asp. And this site just got me going....

I need to meet the great guy on 22nd January 09, So just decided that my target should be something i must achieve...by then...


My Target
Weight: 80 Kgs/172 lbs..... .30 kgs/68 lbs to loose
Time: 6 months/25 weeks. by 7th of February 09.

Step 3: Estimations....6 months, 30 kgs to loose...about 5 kgs/month, 1.25 kgs/week, 179 gms/day reduction.
August 7th - Sept 7th : 109 - 104
Sept 7th - Oct 7th: 104 - 99
Oct7th - Nov 7th: 99 - 94
Nov7th - Dec 7th: 94 - 89
Dec7th - Jan7th: 89 - 84
Jan7th - Jan 22nd: 84- 80 wow..sounds great :)

Step 4: Many influencers: calorie intake, exercise, motivation level :)..so thought to take each of them one by one..in fact in parallel as well....

Step 4.1 Calorie Intake: This part is the implementation part... Understanding is that the calorie intake should be proportional to the present weight and the target weight you want to loose. This is calculated on a per week basis.
The calculator used is very helpful: http://www.healthyweightforum.org/eng/calculators/calories-required/

I tried various calculations but I believe this suits me as of today.. i sure will change this based on how my body reacts.

Points to ponder: what are the things I need to eat to maintain the right balance of nutrients, proteins, carbs. I have hood energy, and also maintain the 1200 cal of daily food intake. So have 1200 cal balance the same with equivalent exercise....

Step 4.2: Weekly Types of Food intake followed by Step 4.3 for balancing with exercise.

Friends its 07 Aug 08 now and I need to go to bed to get going with the targets.....Love ya all...
