Do you have a "final goal", and is it based on weight, BMI, or size? How did you determine your goal?

My final goal is 140-145. I think it's a realistic weight for me, it's not too small and it's right in the middle of what the BMI chart considers a "healthy" weight for my height. Plus everytime I have every tried to lose weight in the past. 140-145 has always been my goal. It will be nice when I finally can achieve it!! I've lost 79 pounds so far and I've got 57 more pounds to lose to make it to 145! I can't wait to get there!!!

My final goal is 180#...I picked this goal weight not because it is my "ideal" weight...but because in my many years of dieting experience I would always taper off at 180 and be super happy with myself...it is a place where I seem to fit in my skin, have alot of confidence and like the way my clothes fit...so while it is not super small by any standard (usually I am about a 11/12 - 14 in clothing) it is "my ideal size" just for ME!

Well I am 5 foot tall The correct weight is 109 to 130? I am going for 150. If I get to that I might recheck but for now thats it>

I don't really have a number. But I came up with one because it seemed like I needed to. My BMI goes "overweight" instead of "obese" at 174 and "normal" at 145. So, that's when I figure I'll start looking at what's realistic for me.

My final goal is 140 - 145. I decided based on the fact that I like the numbers, and I will be way into the normal range for my BMI.

Final goal is 145... based on BMI and my pcp. She doesn't want to see me lower as I'm having plastics to boot. I'll probably end up at 135 when all is said and done. I had a high, medium and low goal set. Thankfully I'm working on my final goal.

I'm 5'3". I set a goal of 130 lbs., but as I get closer, I'll see how I feel. I may level off a little higher or maybe even a little lower. In all my years of dieting, I never reached my goal weight so I don't really know what to expect as I approach it. I'd also like to end up a size 8 or 10, but I think that may be a pipe dream.

I am 5-4 and very small boned, I feel good at 125-135 and would like to be a size 6-8 . I looked at old pics and determined that I looked best at that weight and size.. Not sure if I will get there as my weight is coming off very slow now...

My final goal is 215. That is what my surgeon chose, and it's fine with me. I'm 6'0" so I think I'll look great with that. Of course, if I do lose more, it won't hurt my feelings LOL Only 50 lbs to go to hit goal, and I'm only a little under 10 months out! Woohoo! 172 lbs lost since May 22! Life is GREAT!
