10am 27 Feb 2006
I took the challenge and just got on the scales - wish I hadn't as I am 110kg.

Last time I weighed myself (to do the application for the Aussie Biggest Loser) I was 106kg.
My BMI is 40.4 !!!!

Oh dear.

But it's a new start for me!

I want to get to 70kg (I'm 165cm tall).
So my first set of goals are:
Drink min 2 litres of water each day.
Go to the gym mim three times a week.
Weigh myself once a week on a Monday.

I'll stick to those goals for now and then revise them as I go .

Wow, I seemed to forget that you guys use a different metric system than we have up here..lol

Congrats on taking the first steps to living a better and healthier life! This board is very supportive and you can find a lot of good advice/tips from the other members. I've found it to be quite helpful to me so far.

If you need any help or have any questions, please feel free to ask me, I'm always here to help

There is only one metric system

But seriously, thanks so much for your encouragement Missy.
I'm needing it !!

We are used to lbs. it is hard to convert the kgs without getting out some scratch paper. I think cookies weight would be 244 in lbs. And her goal weight would be 146.2 lbs. if I am not mistaken. It is so much easier to support you if we can get a handle on where you are and where you would like to be. You can do it Cookie!

Thank you Elizabeth !

This is a good conversion site:

http://www.onlineconversion.com/weight.htm

110 kilogram = 242.508 488 403 lb, lbs
70 kilogram = 154.323 583 529 lb, lbs

I might make up a sig like the ones you two have and put it in kg and lbs.

The ticker?
Thanks !

I love that site, I have lots of tickers made there; birthdays, Christmas etc. It's particularly good as you can have it set to your own timezone (which makes a difference for some things).

Congratulations on starting Cookie. I know when I started my BMI was 42 something....ahhhhh! So I know where you are coming from. You will find a lot of support here, no matter how much you weigh. I agree with Elizabeth that kgs are a pain to have to convert. BUT...It doesnt really matter how much we all have left to lose. We are all here for the same reason; to lose weight and gain support. So I am going to save time and quit trying to do the conversions. The only time I really care is when I read the recaps of the Aussie version.

I too love your ticker!
