Does anyone else have a lot of weight to lose?

[slim_and_happy]

I'm just aiming for a BMI of 30, and then take it from there. Its my first goal. But I'm probably looking at about 7 stones all in, but about 4 stones is my first goal for sure

Just a quick note about bmi.
Most fitness industry people will tell you it's not an accurate and effective way of measuring healthy weight. It doesn't take bone and muscle mass into consideration which makes it completely wrong.
My personal trainer for example who is a competitive bodybuilder as well has a bmi of 32 which makes him obese according to the charts.
They guy has 7-5% body fat and clearly very fit.

It's good to have a goal but I would get too wound up about it

it was was a nuffield hospital who stuck this bmi malarkey in my head. My surgeon isn't keen on performing my surgery until I lose some of my flab, which is fine. They said aim for a bmi of 30 or less.

Hi! I have A LOT to lose. Ideally 12/14 stone!!! It's going to be a long slog but it will all be worth it

I do too, about 6-8 stone depending on what weight I feel comfortable at. Good luck everyone.

The thing to remember is we don't have to wait until we have lost all the weight to start feeling the benefits. Every stone gives us something new and amazing that we hadn't expected so no matter how much we have to lose every day we stick to this will give us something good.

I lost 1 1/2 stone before Christmas but still have about 11 stone to go.
Sounds like it's gonna take forever!
I'd like as much off as possible by June because I'm bridesmaid at my brothers wedding and don't wanna be the fattest one!
