Goal?

I have always felt I was a very big boned person... large/wide shoulders and back. With that said I choose to set my goal weight on the heavy end of a healthy BMI range.

I set my goal at the high end of the healthy BMI, once I hit that I will probably set a new goal if I feel like my body type will be good to lose more weight. Good luck

It was suggested to me that setting multiple goals along the way would be a good idea, and it's best to be somewhat realistic. If you're 50, it's probably not realistic to think you're going to get back to your weight as a high school junior if you were particularly slim, for example - your body has changed with age. High end of healthy BMI was a suggestion of a reasonable goal. Then once you get there, consider whether you want to continue or maintain and adjust your diet and exercise accordingly. Your surgeon may also have a goal for you. If it's less aggressive than the one you've set for yourself, then by all means think of the surgeon's goal as a major milestone, but not as the end of the journey.

And don't forget - this is not a race. Slow and steady can reach a goal, too!
