Sexysax, you're already underweight according to your BMI..

I just checked, on the BBC site it says:

Recommended BMI Chart
Underweight BMI less than 18.5
Ideal BMI 18.5-25
Overweight BMI 25-30
Obese - should lose weight BMI 30-40
Very obese - lose weight now BMI greater than 40

So yeah, I was slightly wrong, but you're clinging on to the "ideal" quota by the skin of your teeth!! If you lose even a tiny bit of weight you'll be in the underweight section..

Ah cool thanks

Your Weight: 10st 10lbs
Your Height: 6'1
Your BMI: 19.82

Your Target Weight: ???
Your Height: 6'1.1
.'. Your Target BMI: ???

i go to the gym mon/wed/fri mainly do weights and i play competitive football tuesday/sunday and i intend to do more tennis etc.. and might go for a run some mornings..

in terms of food if you break down your meals into 5-6 smaller meals you will be less full and less inclined to snack on crap.. make sure you have a balance of carbs/proteins/healthy fats in each of your meals

finally make sure your drink lots and lots of water..

Great idea, this'll be good to encourage eveyone!- so yeah, count me in :smile:

:O this BMI index is really misleading! i have a really wide frame and have a heavy bone structure, am a size 12 at my waist and 10-12 on top, just to put things into perspective.

my personal target is to be able to fit into a couple of my nicer (and smaller) pairs of trousers and basically tone up.
I'd like to feel more confident so i can bring myself to wear a bikini on holiday for the first time ever :rolleyes:

and feel more confident for uni.

I like the suggestions for the plans, they seem sensible and healthy!
