The horror of the bed crater has finally broken me, while walking home from work I went in to a local chemist and jumped on to the stores digital scales, for the princely sum of 50p I now know that I am 5 ft 4.2 inches tall, and weigh a frankly depressing and somewhat scary 11st 10lb which gives me a BMI (although I tend to deride it as a measurement of a persons size) of 28.
According to said print out my ideal weight range is 7st 10lb - 10st 6lb. At 9st in the past I looked gaunt and ill, so my aim for the time being get down to the top of the ideal range 10st 6lb in the next 6 months.
To this end I have registered a profile on myfitnesspal - a diet and weigh loss website which also syncs with an android phone app. I have used it in the past but sporadically and before the advent of smart phones, so getting back in to the habit of keeping track of my food, drink and exersize shouldn't take too long. Wish me luck, this will be the first time in my life that I have embarked on a 'diet' of any real kind, so am somewhat apprehensive about how well I'll get on with it.
