How much weight to lose?

December 31, 2008 | By Valen | In Weight loss plan

Here’s a quick way to find out your own ideal weight besides using BMI as a reference. I came across this simple method from a fat loss guide booklet endorsed by the Weight Management Information Centre of Malaysia.

Calculate following the steps below:

1. Your lowest weight (kg) for at least one year in your adult years => X
2. How many years ago was that? => Y
3. Your realistic and achievable weight will be=> X + (Y x 0.5)

Example:
I weighed 45 kg 12 years ago, so my achievable weight will be: 45 + (12 x 0.5) = 51 kg.

You can now use this to quickly find out how much weight you need to lose, and make it your weight loss goal in 2009, which is just few hours from now.

In my next post, I will share some information on calorie counting. For now, I just want to wish all of you Happy New Year 2009! May you all look good and stay healthy for years to come!
