Hi
I was just wondering about the BMI that you can achieve before coming off Cambridge, I always thought the BM range for healthy is 20-25 was researching today on my lunch hour and the weight loss resources website and food standards agency say 18.5 – 25 and so do the NHS direct website.
I am at the weight when I diet I always give up cause I reach a plateau and can’t be bothered anymore, but this time I am determined to keep going until I reach a BMI of about 20 as I am quiet small 5’4 and have a small bone structure according to my GP.
Now I see the BMI range has been reduced that means I could slim down to 7 st 10 and still have a healthy BMI. I am currently 10st 4 and on 3rd week of Cambridge restart stopped last time at just below ten stone. I have however started exercising a lot more now.
Do you think a BMI of 18.5 is:
a)Achievable
b)Maintainable with exercise
Or do you think original goal of BMI 20 (8st6) is better to aim for?
Just trying to work out my goals today so I stick to my plan this time?
I would appreciate your opinions
Many Thanks
