How is goal weight determined

I'm 10 months out and feeling good!! But I could loss another 10 pounds give or take Once I return to my exercise routine. But I'm wondering what is my goal weight, is it by our Normal BMI range, height and weight range, or our personal goal weight. I'm 4"11 and the charts says I should be between 95-100 pounds for my height and normal BMI it's 110-115 pounds. Right now I'm at 130 and wearing size 8 or 10 depending on the paints. I would like to be between 125-130. What's your thoughts?

I think it's tough being only 4'11". At that height even just 5 pounds makes a huge difference in how one looks.

I think it's best to select a weight that you think you can maintain for the long haul. If it was me, and this is strictly my opinion, I would probably shoot for at least another 10 to 15 pound loss just to give that extra bit of room when maintenance starts.

Congrats on your success so far!

Thanks Woo Woo! My doctor said that if I get down to 130 and end up doing plastic surgery he feels that would take another 20-25 pounds off. That would put me at about 115 ish. I can't see myself being that small. But your right go 10-15 pass my goal for maintenance. Great opinion!
