Ive been happily married for 9 years and I'm basically trying to lose babyweight (30 pounds) at first and then going for 20 more pounds. To be honest, I've been overweight most of my life because of a sedentary lifestyle and family of food (and rice) lovers...Wish me luck!!!

My weight loss journey:

Starting weight: 198 pounds

December 2007 - 195 pounds

February 2007 - 190 pounds

February 20, 2007 - 185.5 (i'm in the 180's!!!)

July 9, 2008 - 180 pounds


Starting BMI: 32.9 - Obese (198 pounds)
Current BMI: 30.8 - Obese (185 pounds)
Goal BMI: 26.6 - Normal (160 pounds)

* If I reach the 175 pound mark, I will be at a BMI of 29.1 which is Overweight and NOT OBESE.

Starting Waist 38"
Current Waist (as of 01/08) 36"
Waist (as of 4/18/08) 35.5"
Waist (as of 09/20/08) 34"
Goal Waist: 30 or lower

Current Hip Measurement: 41.5 "
Goal Hip Measurement: 38 "

Current Waist-Hip Ratio: .85

** A Healthy Waist-Hip Ratio is .80 for women. If I reach a waist of 30 and "hips" of 38, my ratio will be .78!!!
