As I’ve mentioned on my main blog- Mommy in Motion, I work at Anytime Fitness in Meridian, MS (you can become a fan HERE) We are currently running a 12 week weight loss contest called Win in 2010. The contest runs January 18th-April 12th.
All in all, I am not too concerned with weight loss, but I do love a challenge so I signed up. I am not eligible for any prizes, but I like the extra motivation to keep eating right and working out! The winner’s will be determined by total percentage of weight lost over the 12 weeks. A starting and ending weigh-in are done, as well as one in March to check in mid-way. Personally, I prefer to weigh in once a week, so I’ve been doing that.
My starting weigh-in was done January 19th. I weighed in at 136 pounds, with a Body Fat % of 21.9 and a Body Mass Index of 22.5. I will check my body fat and BMI again at the two other “official” weigh-in times.
Here are my stats so far though:
January 19th
Weigh-In 136lbs
Body Fat % 21.9%
BMI: 22,9
January 26th
Weigh-In 135lbs
Total Weight Lost: 1 pound
Total Percentage Lost: 0.74%
My BMI is in the healthy range (normal is 18.5-24.9) which is why I am not too concerned about losing weight. My body fat is what I am interested in decreasing, although that is healthy too. For women, a normal body fat % is 22-25%. Lean body fat is 17-22% for women, so I am falling somewhere between Lean and Normal. Less than 17% is considered healthy for an athletic woman, and I think I am going to try for that! I might not get there, but it’s worth shooting for!
