The numbers....

The post I have been meaning to write but haven't had the time to write.

My current Body Fat Percentage is 48.8%. A healthy range for body fat would be 25% which would put me at a weight of 151 lbs. So that means I need to lose 75 lbs instead of 100 lbs. Like 25 lbs would be a killer but 75 is just so much closer than 100.

On a good note. I have invested in a heart rate monitor watch that is proving to be very informative. I am rather impressed with myself too. My resting heart rate is within a normal range, not the range of someone who is as overweight as I am. I steadily record a heart rate of about 74 bpm. I am LOVING that when I work out I get a better picture of how I am doing and how many calories I am burning.

Oh so back to the other numbers...My BMR (Basal Metobolic Rate) is 1479 which means it is entirely possible that I am taking in too little calories than I need to take in for me to properly lose weight. According to the numbers, I should take in 2223 a day seeing that I am active. I am contemplating giving it a shot. Maybe that is part of my issue? I am scared though, what if it backfires? It has been like moving a mountain to lose the 12 I've lost but can I afford to NOT try? I've missed the 10 pound mark for November by 8 pounds and that makes me so sad I could cry. I just don't know what to do.

Need to research it more, maybe I can find the answer I am looking for. I hate to keep doing something wrong but then I hate that maybe I am doing something right and that by doing this could be doing something wrong. AUGH!!!!!!!!!!
