What is your target BMI?



Recommended Posts

What is your target BMI? My doctor said that I should expect to reach 30 within the first year, from a start of 42. I have to laugh when the Wii Fit game tells me that my target BMI is 22. I haven't weighed that much since junior high school, i.e. not full grown. If I can get to my high school weight (full grown), that would be a BMI of 25. I will be happy if I can get below a BMI of 30.

Hey,

I've set my ultimate goal at a bmi of 24.9 just to get into the normal range... but like you I would be happy with it in the twenties...

I wanted to be under 25, so as to be in a healthy weight range. I'm currently at 24, I wouldn't mind losing another 2-3 lbs off of my inner thighs/butt, which would put me closer to 23, but otherwise I'm content with my weight. I'm not "skinny," but I'm not overweight, either.

I want to be about a 23. I started at 51. Currently at 42.

I want to become a stem cell donor.... and I need a normal BMI to do so!

I started at 39, and I'm now at 29. I'd like to get below 25. I've never been considered "healthy" in my entire adult life, and I'd really like to hit that mark.

I was 42 (I think -- gotta look at my ticker below) and I would like to be 24 (I think my ticker says 24 something) -- I want to be normal. That's it. Just normal :)

Edit: yikes I was almost 45!

My highest BMI ever was an amazing 53. It's hard for me to even think it. Right now I'm just breaking into 34.9 which will get me to be only obese and not the dreaded MORBIDLY obese. I would like to get down to a "normal" BMI which is 24.9 - and from there I really don't know. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it, I suppose.

I'm aiming for the normal weight range, ie a BMI under 25. Started at 40.5, now 35 and due to be sleeved in 10 days. I'm a 1/3 of the way there - so the next 2/3 will be courtesy of a nice wee sleeve :D . I'll be happy with anything in the healthy weight range (still sitting in "obese", sob)

My doctor wouldnt operate me, if he didnt think, that I could go under 25, he said.

He asked all kinds of questions about my eating habits.

I was "only" at 33, but with servere health problems.

I would love to get below 25. That would be great

But have I startet at a much higher BMI, I would probably be more than happy to reach 30.

Because of my healthproblems I know that it would help me to get below 25.

I started "low" at 31-something.

My goal is about 23-24 because that's where I was as a young adult.

But anything under 25 would be GREAT! It's still very hard to imagine myself there...

My goal is 22 maximum. But I will be happy if I get to a normal 24.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
