The Starting Block

Since I'm going for fitness and not simply weight loss, I'm going to track not only my weight but also several key body measurements. I've rounded them to the nearest half unit.

10 Sep 08

Height:                                     158 cm (5' 3")
Weight:                                    62 kilos (136 lbs)

Ankle:                                      21 cm (8.25")
Calf (broadest point):              36 cm (14")
Bottom of thigh:                      42 cm (16.5")
Top of thigh:                            62 cm (24.5")
Hips:                                        101.5 cm (40")
Waist:                                      80.5 cm (31.5")
Bust (broadest point):             93 cm (36.5")
Upper arm (broadest point):   31.5 cm (12.5")

Waist-to-hip ratio:                  79%
Waist-to-height ratio:             51%

These last two numbers mean I've a womanly figure (the lower the waist-to-hip number, the more hourglass the figure; women should strive for 80% or lower) but am on the chunky side (my waist is large for my height; the ideal ratio is 39.5%). Not that I needed a number to tell me that.

Aside from my weight, I don't have goal figures per se. I'll be happy to see downward change*, even if my weight doesn't reach my desired 55 kilos. Two reasons: first, I'll be building muscle as I exercise, and muscle weighs more than fat, so I'll be leaner and healthier even if my weight doesn't change. Second, who cares what I weigh if I look good? Reducing my body measurements will mean good changes are happening even if the scales don't reflect it.

* a shame that some of this downward change will undoubtedly occur in my bust, as breasts are nearly entirely fatty tissue. Ah, well, that's what push-up bras are for, n'est-ce pas?
