What is your target BMI? My doctor said that I should expect to reach 30 within the first year, from a start of 42. I have to laugh when the Wii Fit game tells me that my target BMI is 22. I haven't weighed that much since junior high school, i.e. not full grown. If I can get to my high school weight (full grown), that would be a BMI of 25. I will be happy if I can get below a BMI of 30.

Hoping for somewhere between 22-26... started at 36, I'm at 33 right now.

Hey,

I've set my ultimate goal at a bmi of 24.9 just to get into the normal range... but like you I would be happy with it in the twenties...

According to my NUT I need to be around a 24!

I wanted to be under 25, so as to be in a healthy weight range. I'm currently at 24, I wouldn't mind losing another 2-3 lbs off of my inner thighs/butt, which would put me closer to 23, but otherwise I'm content with my weight. I'm not "skinny," but I'm not overweight, either.

I want to be about a 23. I started at 51. Currently at 42.

I want to become a stem cell donor.... and I need a normal BMI to do so!

I started at 39, and I'm now at 29. I'd like to get below 25. I've never been considered "healthy" in my entire adult life, and I'd really like to hit that mark.

I was 42 (I think -- gotta look at my ticker below) and I would like to be 24 (I think my ticker says 24 something) -- I want to be normal. That's it. Just normal

Edit: yikes I was almost 45!

I am wanting to get to below 30. I would love to hit 210 but anything under 30 would be good for me

My highest BMI ever was an amazing 53. It's hard for me to even think it. Right now I'm just breaking into 34.9 which will get me to be only obese and not the dreaded MORBIDLY obese. I would like to get down to a "normal" BMI which is 24.9 - and from there I really don't know. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it, I suppose.

I'm aiming for the normal weight range, ie a BMI under 25. Started at 40.5, now 35 and due to be sleeved in 10 days. I'm a 1/3 of the way there - so the next 2/3 will be courtesy of a nice wee sleeve . I'll be happy with anything in the healthy weight range (still sitting in "obese", sob)

My doctor wouldnt operate me, if he didnt think, that I could go under 25, he said.

He asked all kinds of questions about my eating habits.

I was "only" at 33, but with servere health problems.

I would love to get below 25. That would be great

But have I startet at a much higher BMI, I would probably be more than happy to reach 30.

Because of my healthproblems I know that it would help me to get below 25.

I started "low" at 31-something.

My goal is about 23-24 because that's where I was as a young adult.

But anything under 25 would be GREAT! It's still very hard to imagine myself there...

My goal is 22 maximum. But I will be happy if I get to a normal 24.

my highest BMI was 46 and id like to get below 25 Still feels like a dream!

I pretty much take the BMI chart with a grain of salt. The one thing that the BMI charts/calculations can NOT take into account is bone density. My surgeon explained to me that due to years (over a decade) of being huge, morbidly obese with a BMI of 50, my bones have grown more dense thus weighing more than other naturally thin women my age. I do have huge knee, ankle, and elbow joints. I'm also barrel chested (meaning my rib cage is huge). So, for me having my BMI in the normal range wasn't all that important. My goal weight kept me in the overweight category. For me, a healthy body fat percentage is a better gauge on overall health. I think right now by the caliper test I have a body fat percentage of 20-21%, and I'll take that. . . If I would unass the recliner, and move more with formal exercise, I could probably get it even lower. I would love to have that Water test done to determine true body fat, and then go from there. I would be interested to know how much muscle, bone and skin I have vs. fat. That would really put things in perspective for me. Now, that I'm in a "normal" BMI range, I really don't consider it an extraordinary feat, it's just where my body was happy. I have bones protruding in some places, but I also have excess skin on my stomach, upper thighs, upper arms, and I still have belly fat. So, the bmi chart (at least) for me does not give me as much satisfaction as getting my body fat % lower.

Just my .02 cents.
