Or, should I say, my last year as an overweight blimp?
To be at the lower end of my ideal BMI weight, I have to lose HALF OF MY BODY WEIGHT!
This does not upset me.
It does not daunt me.
Eight stone is less than a stone a month for a year! Or 2.1lb a week.
I'm aiming for 1-2lb a week. I've made an excel spreadsheet, working out my TDEE, and aiming for 500-700 calories below it, per day. I've entered formulae in it, so it will change depending on my weight on that day.
I'll be utilizing MFP, but fucking off the "1200 calories" bollocks...I've actually set it up to "maintain my current weight" so it doesn't tell me off every day! 🤣
I'm also going to burn at least 200 calories a day doing things like walking, energetic house cleaning, etc. This will increase as my weight goes down, and my energy increases. Where I live, walking to the bus stop is more like a mile hike, as it's all uneven terrain and country lanes!
When I've lost the equivalent of two ankle-weights, I'm going to buy some- and wear them- so I'm still burning as many calories.
I've made a Pinterest board of clothes in my style, in a size 12. Also a list of "treats" for every time I hit 10lb loss.
And I'm going to order a full length mirror for the first time in a decade.
Truth
Transparancy
Total Overhaul.
I got this!
