It's Transformation Time!
I've come to realize that if I want to loose weight and get in shape, then I'll have to do something about it! I've tried every excuse not to. The biggest one is "I don't have time with the boys. So...I'm going to find a babysitter for 1-2hrs a day so that I can finally hit the gym.
It finally hit me when I tried the Insanity Fit Test and about fell down trying to lift my knee to my chest and felt my fat ass places shake that never did before.
A friend of mine, Reyna @ Glamour Glory has become a big part of my inspiration. She set a goal and busted her butt to get to where she is now. I have asked her for some help and she plans to post a beginners guide on her blog in the next couple of days. She has given me permission to share some of her before and after photos....
I will have to hold my self accountable and I ask that you all do too! I will post my starting weight and follow up with you all once a week. One of the hardest things for me is understanding that I wont see the results that I want overnight or even within a month at that matter. After some research, I have set a goal...
My Body Mass Index (BMI) is: 26.8
A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered healthy for adults. A BMI of 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight, while a BMI of 30 and above is considered obese. People with BMIs of 18.5 or less are considered underweight.
My Healthy Weight Range Is:
Between 118 and 159 pounds for your height of 5' 7"
Your healthy weight range is based on a healthy body mass index (BMI) of 18.5 to 24.9. The higher end of the range applies to people with more muscle mass and a larger bone structure.

My RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate) is: 1866
Your body needs energy to function, and your resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the number of calories your body burns simply by living. Regular exercise increases your RMR and helps to keep your body healthy and feeling great!
My Daily Target Caloric Intake is: 1200
Weight goal you entered: Lose 2 pounds per week.
Based on your weight goal, try to keep your daily caloric intake to about 1200 calories and combine this with regular exercise and physical activity. Exercise is essential to losing weight. Once you reach your weight goal, you will need to recalculate your daily caloric intake.
Please Note: You should never allow your daily caloric intake to fall below 1,200 calories because you may not get enough nutrients. Also, excessive calorie restriction could slow your metabolism and hinder your weight goals.
In addition to a low-calorie diet, exercising for at least 30 minutes per day at your target heart rate is the most effective way of losing weight and keeping it off.
My Target Heart Rate Zones
While exercising or performing any sort of physical activity, you should count between 98 and 146 beats in 1 minute, and it should not exceed 195 per minute.
My Personal Heart Rate Zones
- 0 - 98 bpm* Warm up
- 117 - 137 bpm Weight Management & Endurance Building
- 137 - 156 bpm Weight Loss & Improving Cardio Fitness
- 156 - 390 bpm Anaerobic. Don't stay here too long.
- Gender: Female
- Height: 5' 7"
- Age: 25
- Current Weight: 170
- Weight Goal: Lose 2 pounds per week

Soooooo. I want to weigh 145lbs That is only 25lbs. That would put me at my goal weight in 12.5 weeks.
