BUMP! Come on! 110 people viewed this and no one responded! I am sure someone out there has a thought about this!

I'm aiming for 70kg because that will give me a healthy bmi for my height!

I want to loose 70 lbs. That puts me at a size 12 and around 165. Its what I weighed when I met my husband and was very happy and comfortable at that weight. I figured it's fairly reasonable and doable.

I'm working to compete in a figure competition so my goal weight will likely fall around 125 lbs with a lot of work. I imagine I'll be fine around 140 though and my Dr would like me around 150.

My goal weight is a moving figure. For me it depends on how I feel when I get there. I "imagine" it will be around 150, but honestly, right now I weight 169 and I have people all the time, jaws dropping, when I say I want to lose another 20 pounds because I honestly have no idea where in the world this weight will come from and apparently neither does my body because I haven't lost a pound in about 6 weeks.

So, my opinion... Set small "goal" weights. Don't focus on the big final number, focus instead on how you look and feel and let it come to you when you get there.

My current weight is 289. My first goal weight is 249. Then 199. Then 169. My doctor told me he'd like to see me around 170..... But for a healthy BMI 140 is good. I have a long ways to go... But I haven't had my surgery yet, so we'll see!

My wii fit says i should be 145.5 *among other mean things* I'm shooting for 150. My curent weight is 268. My first goal is 250, then 225, 199, 170, then finaly 150. Do any pf you have wii fit and feel like its making fun of you? When i step on ot says things like oh and thats obease and in the one game it keeps saying fight that fat lol
