When you start on a weight loss journey or healthy meals eating plan – it is so important to take photos – as Tania talks about below
Tania has been using The Healthy Mummy program and says,
“Transformation – Back addition
Take the photos ladies!
I have been soooo frustrated lately that the scales aren’t moving BUT then I took a photo this morning and compared it to last year and it was the pick me up I needed! Scales aren’t always the best to judge progress.
The jiggly bits are definitely less even though scales aren’t shifting lately … hehe
Slow and steady definitely wins the race! I am so super grateful to HM and the life style I’ve learnt to live
Excited to see what 2021 brings “

Is Body Mass Index reliable?
Your BMI, or Body Mass Index, is a measure of your weight compared to your height. Accurate assessments of obesity are important, as being overweight or obese significantly increases your risk of a variety of medical conditions including type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer. As levels of overweight or obesity increase, the spotlight has fallen on BMI and its shortcomings as a measure of ideal weight for individuals, rather than whole populations of people where ‘averages’ apply.
For most adults, BMI gives a good estimate of your weight-related health risks. If your BMI is over 35, your weight is definitely putting your health at risk.
Please enter your weight and height as accurate as possible. Your results will appear here.
- You are underweight for your height. It’s important to stay within a healthy weight range to improve your body’s ability to fight off illness or infections.
- You are a healthy weight for your height. It’s important to aim to stay within the healthy weight range by maintaining a well-balanced diet and exercising regularly
- Your BMI is considered overweight for your height. It’s also recommended to check your waist measurement. Being overweight increases your risk of a number of health conditions such as coronary heart disease or type 2 diabetes.
- To achieve and maintain a healthy weight, it’s important to enjoy a healthy, well-balanced diet and exercise regularly.
- For specific medical and dietary advice, consult your doctor or an Accredited Practising Dietitian.
