How did you determine your goal?

[dawgsgirl68 9]

What the topic says!

Did you go off of a pant / dress size?

A specific weight or BMI?

Or an ability goal point?

(to get off of meds / walk up stairs without breathing heavy / shop at a certain store)

Did some of us not have a goal in mind at all' date=' just to lose weight and do what we can?

I'm just curious how others came to their decision on goal setting...[/quote']

My question is; how much does the skin weigh when you have a Tummy Tuck? I have lost 46 lbs and I swear the skin must weigh 3-5 lbs.

My goal is to lose 100 pounds. Which will still put me at 20 pounds above a "normal" weight. But I have hypothyroidism, so I wanted to be realistic.

I picked 160. It technically still overweight but I can't picture myself there so I figured that would be a great long term goal.

In some senses I think I will look anorexic at 160 but that's a total Loss of 83 pounds and 35 pound lighter than I've ever been able to get myself even on appetite suppressants (I bounced between 193-197 for 8 months while on phentermine until my body grew immune)

My lowest weight (aside from birth) was 113. That was underweight for me. My highest was 225' date=' and I've lived everywhere in between.

My goal is one that I can live with; not starve myself & not be a slave to it. That number (for me) is 150. I'll see how I feel when I get there, but I'm pretty darn sure it's going to be GREAT!!! For my age and frame, it's a realistic goal.[/quote']

How tall are you?

During high school and college, I wore a size 12. When I started this journey, I hoped to get back to size 12. I am comfortably in size 8's and some size 6's! According to the BMI charts, I am still "overweight", but I am thrilled. I'd like to lose another 10 lbs, but if I don't, I am still thrilled with my results.

I determined mine by my "healthy" BMI weight
