Moving the goalposts

For those of you who already reached or came close to your goal weight, did you ever consider moving the goalposts to lose just a bit more? If so why and how did it turn out?

I am now close to my goal of a BMI under 25 but now that it is close I am considering moving the goal to a BMI of about 22 - 23. So I was just wondering who had experience with this and how it went.

  • Honestly I did not but mostly because I set my end goal at the high end of the BMI scale for my height which was 165lbs. I set smaller goals along the way to keep me motivated. Such as: 1st 75lbs

I set smaller goals along the way to keep me motivated. Such as:

1st 75lbs

1st 100lbs

Onederland - hoping to never see over 200 again

Final goal 165

I ended up continuing to lose to 158 but now that I am in maintenance I bounce between 158 and 165 which is fine with me.

best of luck to you!
