Goal Weight

  • Popular Post

So I am about 0.2lbs away from my goal weight, which I have always had in mind as my "1st goal weight". Kind of like, if I get there then that is amazing...I didn't 100% believe I could ever get here if that makes sense ?

My question to others is: did you have a "secret/second goal weight" in mind? And if so, did it vary much from your 1st one?

I want (for some inexplicable reason) my BMI to be in a 'healthy' range, which requires another loss of about 2 stone, which I think part of me wants to go for.

Overall though, I am feeling happy - not just because of a number on the scale!

Thanks again everyone for all the advice ❤️

After some thinking & a chat with my bariatric team, I have set a new goal!

I think a lot of us have that number in the back of our minds. If you're feeling good and healthy, that's what really matters. But if you want to push for that healthy BMI, go for it

Well done for almost reaching your first goal! 🎉 Reaching a healthy BMI is one example of a "first" goal that many people establish before moving on to a "stretch" goal. Whether you continue or not depends on how you feel; pay attention to your happiness, vitality, and health rather than the number.

Thank you!

I have kept losing weight at the moment - albeit not intentionally! But I am certainly feeling happier!
