what is your goal weight?
| Tue, 05-18-2004 - 10:58am |
How do you decide what your goal weight or ideal weight should be? Are you trying to get back down to a weight you used to be, or are you trying to get down to a particular clothing size?
I'm just curious since I'm within a good weight range right now and I'm trying to figure out what an "ideal" weight would be for me. I think I'm coming to the conclusion that it's about more than weight. I want to be tone and strong, so I have to increase the exercise a little bit and just keep trying to eat balanced meals and drinking lots of water, of course. :-)

Goal weight. YOu know to be honest, I have no clue. I mean, in HS I was 100lbs. Early 20's, I was 110-115. Now i'm at 140. My first goal is 130-135. Close. My second goal is 120-125. My final goal is a size 6 comfy. I don't care if I weight 120. Because I am assuming I will have more muscle than when I was a kid. Also, I'm older, let's be real, I know I wno't weigh 100lbs ever again. lol
So, my ACTUAL goal weight is 110-115. But realistically, I want to be a size 6, no matter what my weight. That'll make me VERY happy. =)
Debbie- you know I don't really have a goal weight- I think I would be happy to be around 130lbs but who knows....I'm just taking it and seeing where I go with all of this. When I get to where I'm happy then I'll have met

The reason why i picked that weight is for health reasons. They say if people dropped about 15% or 18% of their current weight, ( and are considered overweight now, like I am) that is the range of avoiding diabetes, heart problems, etc..
For me, that works out to be in the lower range of my "ideal" weight. It going to be tough, because I have not weighed that much since freshmen college. But at the same time, walking to class, and getting plenty of exercise, I was in the best shape of my life. Not even a hint of flab or cellulite.
I want to get like that again.
