My goal is to be a size 14 in just over a year's time. I am not really too bothered about what weight I actually end up - I just want to look and feel a whole lot better. But I will be tracking my progress through the BMI chart (Body Mass Index) to keep an eye on my weight for the health reasons. At the moment I fall into the range of 'Obese', I then have to travel my way through the 'Overweight' section before arriving at 'OK'. As I am 5 foot 5 inches, I need to reach 12.5 stone before going into the next phase, and then I have to reach 10.5 stone to become 'OK'. This index is all about the health implications for you - it works out how heavy you should be for your height.
As you will see by my profile picture at the top, I have the Obese banner flying. When I reach 12.5 stone, I will change it to the Overweight banner and so on. So at least there will be a little visual track of how well I'm doing. It will take a while to get to each benchmark, but then at least it will feel like I have really accomplished something! Here is the BMI chart for reference.

I like the chart but don't obsess too much over it! Looking forward to seeing you taking down your obese banner!
