Ladies and gentlemen! We have an amazing act for you tonight! Yes that's correct folks, step right up and I will introduce you to the world famous class acts named Faith and Determination. These two are sure to entertain and inspire you through the duration of your life. Never before have you seen an act such as this.......
Ok, enough of that. I honestly have no idea where that was going, it just sounded like fun to have a circus ring master do an announcement before I tell you that today, I achieved something I never believed possible. Something that I wished for and hoped-for, but ultimately something that I knew in my heart of hearts was just a pipe dream. Today, 288 days, after a life changing decision was carried out, I, Sheila Pettigrew, former fat chick, am officially below my goal weight!!!
Goal: 170
Weight today: 168.2
But because I am always striving for the next goal, I have taken the appropriate amount of celebration time and now channelling my excitement towards the following:
"Height: 5 feet, 8.5 inches
Weight: 168.2 pounds
Your BMI is 25.2, indicating your weight is in the Overweight category for adults of your height.
For your height, a normal weight range would be from 123 to 166 pounds.
People who are overweight or obese are at higher risk for chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol."
All I have to say is, Normal, you better watch out because here I come!
