Realistically Speaking.....

[FatGirlSlim 115]

Ok, so here are my stats.... right now I am 218 and 5'2 and a half (yes I count my half) and I am wondering what a realistic goal should be. I can tell myself that I want to be 120-130lbs all day long, but honestly, I am not sure that it is possible. I come from a "big boned" family (on my mother's side) and I have had seven children. Can I make that happen? Or should I shoot for something like 150? Even if I get to 150 I would love that too. At 150, nothing hurt...my knees were good and so were my feet and back...

What do you think???

I think you should set your goal at something your mentally comfortable with... by that i mean that your thinking, "it will be hard, but i definitely know that its possible"... set your goal just enough so that its scary but not to the point where your not excited about the actuality of it... also something that you could comfortably maintain theoretically.. you say that 150 would be fine.. set it at 140.. push yourself and work your sleeve and i know you can make this happen. without a doubt. You will be surprised at what you can do with the right attitude and a tool of this caliber.. BLESS, SUCCESS and Good Luck -Lukki

I am 5'3 and I weighed 237 my goal is 140 I think it is realistic for me I am to big boned. I hope I get there but like you would be happy at 150. Good luck I will be sleaved in 9 days

I have been thinking about that one and about a week ago finally decided to wait until I was abotut a size 12, and then go from there. I think I am going to go to a sports doc and have a better assessment than the BMI before I decide on a goal weight range.
