Well, Karen has reached that tipping point again – at 5’3”
tall and weighing 12 stone her BMI (Body Mass Index – height to weight ratio)
is 29.8. A healthy BMI is in the range
18 to 25 and obese starts at 30 – so this really is the time to do something
about it! Karen is trying for her second baby and knows that getting her weight
down will help her to conceive – so there’s a real incentive.
With a weight measurement of 39” Karen has a 1 in 10 risk of
developing type 2 diabetes in the next 10 years, so more reason to start eating
healthily and move more.
We have worked out a plan together and we want to share her
journey with you. We will blog about her
progress, about what goes well and what are the tricky bits.
We would really like you to help please. We will let you know on facebook every time
we blog – please feel free to comment (in a friendly, helpful way!) – we need
all the encouragement we can get!
