?? Goal Weight ??

I know we all have a goal weight... but how can you truely determine a healthy weight ? I guess I am asking is it based on your height?  Can anyone advise??? Any help would greatly appreciated.  Hope this question isn't too silly.  Thanks, Erika

At the tickerfactory there is a spot for a weight chart.  It will tell you based on your height what their picture is of your "ideal" weight.  My info page has an example in the middle of it.  But that is based on the average person and no one has an "ideal" weight.  Larger people have heavier bones (had to carry the extra weight) so you could be up to 20 pounds heavier than they recommend and still be "healthy".   My "ideal" weight according to them is 142 pounds -- 5 foot 6 inches.  But I'll be happy if I get to my doctor's prediction of 160.....I'm already off all my med's (except thyroid and anti-depression mediation -- both of which I won't be coming off of) for heart conditions and pre-diabetes, my blood pressure is down to 124/64, and I can actually exercise without thinking I'm going to have a heart attack.  So I've already achieved a lot of "healthy".   Hope this helps!!!

I think you should just work the tool..... get down and then start thinking about it. My Dr. said my goal would be 164  < wha >  which at the time sounded wonderful, but then I passed it and am now at 124.   Like I said to my lovely Sandy.... Im just gonna go till the body stops.  Im only five two so my weight now is about right. Just take one day at at time! Hugs

Thank you both for your response, I have my consult on Monday and I will bring it up then. Hope you both had a great Thanksgiving. Erika
