Goal weight....

How'd you pick yours?

I'm just curious.

Mine came from the blasted BMI chart as being the TOP weight for my height.

When I started at 277 pounds, how was I to know what 145 pounds would look like?

So tell me... do you have a number? Where did it come from?

  1. I got my number the same way, but I also based it largely on LBG because we are the same height. She looks healthy to me.

  2. I also got mine off a chart...however...I want to wait until I get closer before I completely decide. I want to see how it feels and looks before I commit! So right now...140 is just something to work towards right now!

  3. My doctor suggested a weight, and I later found out it was at the bottom of the normal range for BMI. I decided that was too low. I settled on my current goal weight of 155 because that is when I will lose 100 pounds AND it is still a few pounds lower than the top of my BMI range, which is 161. I wanted some wiggle room.

  5. Same as you, I picked because it was the top end of normal for BMI. Mine is 145 too. : )

  6. 195 - 185. That is the lowest number I've ever remembered being in my adult life, so it was where I settled. Once i'm there, I'll make adjustments. :)

  7. I don't know what the exact number is for me. What I want from a goal weight is this: feeling good about myself, feeling good in clothes more often than not, being able to eat foods without being psychotically obsessed with every calorie, be able to enjoy treats like wine or sweets in moderation with freaking out that I might gain an ounce. That is what my goal weight looks like. I am sure I could weigh much, much less right now but it would likely involve me living my life in a weigh that isn't enjoyable for me. My goal weight = the number where healthy living and enjoying my life intersect.
