For 4 consecutive years, my annual physical exam always shows that I need to lose weight. And for 4 consecutive years, I did not. Well, I tried -- and it worked -- for a while. I enrolled in a fitness club, but I was not able to sustain it. The longest consistent 'healthy' lifestyle that I had was 3 months. By healthy lifestyle, I actually meant the following:
- healthy food (3 big meals, usually fish, healthy part of chicken and pork, vegetables, you know, the whole shebang)
- regular exercise (3-4 times workout at the gym)
- enough sleep (6-7 hours, I think)
But right now, I don't think I am in that state. My current lifestyle is basically home, work, home; I think I eat too much food; I am sleep-deprived -- basically the opposite of my ideal situation. And because of this, I am obese.
My body mass index (or BMI; the measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women) is 34.6.
Height = 5 ft 5.5 inI decided it's time to get to work. LET'S GET READY TO RRRRRRUMBLE!!!!
Weight = 211 lbs
My BMI = 34.6
Interpretation
>Underweight = <18.5
