Week 0: Weigh-In

I'm going to stick with the Wii Fit for consistency in measuring. I have a digital scale, but it tends to get kicked to different areas of my uneven hardwood bedroom floor.

Weight: 207.5
BMI: 35.42 (obese)

I've read discussions on why or why not BMI is accurate. I agree that it's probably way off for children or extremely fit people. Surprise, that's not me! I can't even run down the end of my block without feeling like death. That will change. The Fit asked me to set a goal...I poked in 22 lbs in 3 months. However, I don't feel bound by that. I'll be happy if it happens, but what I really want is to be in good shape in December 2011. I need to fit into a bridesmaid's dress, and be prepared to face the cameras (horrors!)

  1. That Wii Fit can be alittle sobering when it takes the digital you and puts weight on them. First time we loaded it up my roommates died laughing when my Mii packed on a belly.

    BMI is a a really generalized equation that doesn't apply to everyone. It's still a decent indicator of what's going on for most people though.

    Good luck with your journey to fitter you.
