My New Year Resolution – Accomplished!!

For this year of 2008, I have actually set myself a goal to reduce weight. I was quite bulky weighing at 68kg last year in September when I ORD all thanks to the nice food in the Air Force. (haha..) I set myself a target to cut down my weight to 55kg by March and I did it!! I was very scared to help onto my bathroom scale this afternoon fearing that I couldn’t accomplish my goal. To my surprise, the scale hit 54kg!! I was totally overjoyed to see the loss of 14kg in total!!

At the weight of 68kg, my Body Mass Index (BMI) was 24.1 (Moderate Risk of Heart Disease and Diabetes) and now, it’s 19.1 (Low Risk of Heart Disease and Diabetes). I have to maintain my weight between 52.5kg to 54.5kg to be in the healthy level. If my weight falls below 52.5kg, there’s a risk of nutritional deficiency diseases and osteoporosis.

For people who are interested to find out your BMI, you can visit Health Promotion Board website at http://www.hpb.gov.sg/hpb/default.asp

They have many other useful health tools over there and tips on how to eat healthy, quit smoking and many other fun downloads as well.
