You know something I discovered, according to the BMI scale I need to weigh 179 to be of "Normal" weight. So, I had set my goal at 190 lbs but I have now decided that I would like to be somewhat "normal" so I have set this new goal to reach 179!! This seems very attainable since I am only 29 pounds from that. Who knows that may put me in a size 12....I haven't been that since High school!!! Just wanted to share with my buds!! And why I am at it, has anyone else changed their goal since they started losing alot???

This might help.... 18.5 - 24.9 Normal 25.0 - 29.9 Overweight 30.0 - 34.9 Obese 35.0 - 39.9 Obese 40 or greater Extremely Obese There are a lot of BMI calculators out on the web...

Lisa, I'm hoping for normal but that's 161 which is 10 lbs from now. Not sure what I'll look like but I assume I'll get there eventually. I'm not sure I want to go lower than that. Kathy

I also would like to be of "normal" weight. I hate to admit this, but I have been operating on the assumption that I am 5'4. I have been the same height since 6th grade. Recently, I found out that I am in fact 5'2! What kind of a dork am I? So my original goal was 145ish, but is now revised to 135ish. Chris

My original goal was 153 putting me at a loss of 110 pounds but recently looked at the BMI calculator and 150 would put me at the very high end of normal ( the lowest weight I could go to be in the normal range) so I said shoot whats 3 more pounds. Has anyone said to you Dont lose anymore or your going to look sick? Im getting that a lot and its really getting on my nerves. Candy

I'm 5-2 like Chris and I actually increased my goal from 130 to 135. My doc said 130 was too low even for my height. To be honest, he's not all that confident that I'll get to 135 either, but his doubt only strengthens my resolve.

Go for it... What do Dr's know anyway?... They quote 70 to 80% of excess as their mantra... Keep your eyes on the prize. Kate Z
