Questions to ask your self.
Am I overweight?
Where is the extra weight?
Your Body Mass Index (BMI)will tell you whether you are overweight or obese.
Either one increases he risk of:
high blood cholesterol,
high blood pressure
and diabetes.
Research shows that people who have too much fat around the waist and upper body are at greater risk of developing heart disease than the people who carry their excess fat around their hips and thighs
How To Calculate Your BMI.
The BMI is a measure based upon both your weight and your height.
To calculate your BMI, divide your weight In kilograms by the square of your height in metres.For example, if you weigh 45kg and you are 110 cm tall, (your height X your height) the calculation would look like this: 45kg divided by 220 = 20 BMI.
Are you an apple or a pear shape?
Measuring your waist is the quickest way to see if your shape is putting your health at risk.
People who carry excess weight around their middle are apple shape, if you are than you are at greater risk of lots of health problems. Including diabetes, heart disease, high blood cholesterol and high blood pressure.
In general, men with a waist circumference of 102 cm or more and women with a waist measurement of 88 cm or more are at greater risk.

Create The Life You Really Want
Welcome to the First Post of weight loss management.
You are here for a reason, you would like to loss weight and not ever, never put it back on. Ever!
For you to do that you would have to put pen to paper and write down how much weight is now and how much weight you would like to loss. Don't worry, you don't have to tell me. What I expect from you is to be honest to yourself and answer the next few questions the best you can. Remember that nobody sees your answers, so try to be as honest as you can.
Write a 10 year vision, what are you accomplishing in your future ? Where do you see yourself 10 years from now ? What are you doing ?
Start a journal :
Write your name ,today's date and your age in your journal.
Now ask yourself how serious am I about making this 10 year plan work for me ?
Rate your level of commitment on a scale from 1 - 10, with #1 being the lowest " it is ok if this happens but I'm not going to make any changes in my life for it to come about."
While on the other end of the scale a #10" I'm willing to take big time action and change both myself and my lifestyle in order to make this become my reality."
Achieving this vision will transform you. Who will you become? What changes will take place in your abilities ? Your skills ? Your beliefs ? Your habits ? The way you live your life and the way you feel about yourself ?
What must take place during the next 12 months ?
Make two collums and make a list:
What are the essential steps you need to take?
Why it is necessary?
