How Did You Decide Your Goal Weight?

Is your goal weight based on BMI, doctors recommendation, or just a number that you remember feeling healthy at?

According to my BMI, I think I should be in the 140's but I remember being about 165-175 and feeling great and looking good.

I can't decide on a goal weight because I don't know what to go by. I want to have a goal though so I can have an official countdown and a real "moment" when I achieve goal. Just curious how everyone else decided.

  • I picked a goal weight with my dr and once I got there I reassessed. I have had 4 different goals before I finally decided I was happy where I am at.

  • I am setting small goals for myself and will continue to do so for now. Right now I am looking at a goal of 190. Its a long way, but I want something to look forward to!

I've picked the mid point of the healthy BMI weight range for my height of 1.73 metres, with 66 kilos my ultimate goal after starting at 99.

Each week I aim to lose around a kilo. At 88 now, I'm hoping in half a year I'll be around the goal weight
