What is your threshold weight?

What weight do you think that you could live with if you continued OP and exercising and got healthy, but never lost another pound after that. I would love to be less than 200, but my threshold weight is 240-245. That is the weight that I seem to maintain fairly easily and it is the weight that I am fairly comfortable with my body at. Any more than that, and I don't feel that great about myself. But, at around 240-245, my self confidence starts getting a lot better and I have noticed that I even attract quite a few men at that weight or less, but not above it. My face usually thins out well, and I can even squeeze myself into some size 16s and some 17 juniors, and 18s are usually very comfortable. I am only about 10-15 lbs away from there, and I am already starting to feel better about my body. I am definitely more comfortable with my body, and I can see where my face has thinned out from where I was at when I weighed 275. I was just curious about what everyone else's threshold would be.

For me it's my goal weight: 165. According to BMI i should be around 132-150, but i feel better at 165. I was able to maintain that from ages 18-23 (i was eating junk, but was super active). i'm 25 now. I was never able to get below 165 no matter how hard i tried.

I think my threshold weight would be in the 160 - 170 range.

I think that my threshold weight would have to be 240. That is the size I was at 16, and I was completely fine with it. I would be ok if I got to 240 and stayed there for the rest of my life. I'm will say, however, that I would love to get to 200 and be able to stay there ! . :)

Hey Lynn... me too. I felt great at 16. And that was my threshold weight.

I would have to say 175-180 is where I look and feel terrific! I would love to get there soon. I just have to keep doing this....!!!

Mine would be about 200. I wore size 16 the last time I saw 200 and could move good and breathe good, and felt like I could breathe in my clothes.
