Hi all!
I am new to all this, i mean, it just took me about half an hour to actually work out how to even post a thread...!
I'm Emily, 19, 5'2" and 145lb, I currently have a
BMI of 26.5 which means I am overweight and I am not happy about it! I used to be 110lb and have put on the weight in the last year during my gap year etc with going out too much, drinking a lot and eating badly, oh and doing barely any exercise (unless you include drunken dancing on tables...)
I really want to get my weight down to 105lb which would mean losing 40lb. I have my heart set on this, and my head, and my bum to get into smaller jeans...
I joined the
gym yesterday and am having 3 sessions with a personal trainer to start me off so i know how to tackle certain areas. The whole process is made a little difficult by the fact I am currently working as an au-pair in Madrid so I eat the food with the children in the evenings and although the portions are fairly small they are loving the oil to cook with... however during the day i can watch what i eat.
I worked out that I have a BMR of 1,488
calories per day but I dont really understand the BMR thing so if anyone could explain?
I really hope to support everyone on their
weight loss journeys as well and I think this is such a good place for motivation/support!
xxxxx kisses xxxxxxxx
