How Did You Choose Your Weight Loss Goal?

I have not set one yet. Not a firm number, not a firm size really. I have a bit of difficulty "seeing" myself past a 16. beyond a 14? lol...but I am trying, because I wonder what I would look like as a 5'10" inch me, just a size 10.

Did you go by a desired size? inches? BMI?

    I never set an actual weight goal. I had mini weight goals along the way, and my last one was Onederland. My ultimate goals were all Size based. My first Ultimate goal I placed on myself was to fit

  • SK, I just used your chart and it says that I am a large frame, at 5'8", I should weight between 146-167. So my goal weight is pretty much in line with that at 170.

My doctor's goal was 150 - MY goal, initially, was a size 8. I got down to a size 8 and then a 6 - I'm currently about eight lbs below the goal Dr. Davidson set and my GAP jeans are a size 4. I would never, ever have dreamed I couild get to this size....I was afraid an 8 would be too small. I would have bet money I'd look anorexic, unhealthy - but I look and feel great! I had to add snacking back into my routine just so I can maintain. I've been maintaining now for not quite a year. I go up and down a couple of lbs all the time, but I feel like I'm living life like a naturally thin person. It's great! Oh, my BMI varies between 22 and 23.
