Where do I stop...goal weight related....

[UK Cathy 977]

Using a calculator on google I'm 26% too - nearly acceptable!

We are all "accepted"

I always did want to fit in.....

You look pretty skinny in your picture (in a good way). Are you sure about your bf %?

It's said 26.15% but I'm sure it's flawed...

Whatever is is, it's a damn sight better than it was!

Did any of you set a body-fat goal rather than a weight goal? I think that's what I want to do and wondering if that works?

Sounds like a good idea to me!

How did you do it??

I kinda want to, but I think mine might be pretty high still so I don't know if I want to risk the depression...

My weight watchers scale. I don't think calipers work very well on lose skin...

I said "my old jeans" at first they didn't believe it but then I saw the look of recognition on my daughters face and her laughter faded..

She said slowly, "mom I remember those now... But were you really that big??"

yes I was, but I am no longer

We want pics!

I used a couple of different online calculators and this one came closest to what my scale tells me:

Mine came out basically the same with this one too. A tenth more.

Figuring out what that ideal number was, for me, a hard one. I always thought 160 would be fine, then as it got closer, 150... then I got to 130 and that was TOO MUCH (I'm 5'7"). I lost my weight in 6 months (mostly due to 1000+ calorie work outs, but also due to my leak that I dealt with). The hardest part to wrap my head around in maintenance was that I had to eat more not to lose. I always have gained it back by doing that. But then again, I still do my workouts. Now the goal for me is muscle tone. I am 24% body fat, 22.7 BMI and a 2-8 depending on how it's cut (but I say I'm a 6). Size 8 was my "goal" as I wanted single digits! Oh and one of the best benefits... I was lifting weights today (upper body), standing with my legs together and I have a little "hole" of light between where my thighs fit together - they don't touch. Yay! I no longer start forest fires with my thighs! lol

That is amazing, and you look amazing!! And I agree, put on your biggest pair of pants pictures. I can fit into 1 leg of mine, and have my 4 year old with me, and still have room!!

Congrats Laura-Ven! Get hubby or daughter to take the pic with you in one leg. I fell over too, but hubby got the pic first!
