    I also started with 77 lbs to lose!

    Currently I have 43 more to go to get to a healthy BMI, Ill probably go lower than that once I get there but im not sure.

    I want to lose 130 (so 116 because I am 5'3.5") but that may not be ideal for me since I've always been obese (like since I was 3 y/o).
    My ideal weight is between 128-135...so I need to lose 111-118lbs
    But I will settle with 143 (which is a bmi of 24.9) if it looks good on me.

    I'm 5'2". I started at 175lbs. I've lost 26 lbs. I'm now 149 lbs. I want to eventually be between 125-130lbs. So 20-25lbs then i switch to maintenance and a bit of weight training. I don't want to be too skinny.

    I want to be in the healthy BMI category as an adult. At my starting weight I had a minimum of 90 pounds to lose, but preferably 100. After losing some, I have 30-40 to go. I'm 5'3.5".

    I have about 80lbs to lose. I am aiming for 180lbs just to see how I feel and what I look like since I've been obese my entire life. According to BMI normal for me would be 155lbs which seems low! I've lost 12lbs so far and a lot of inches though I haven't actually measured. I feel a lot better already and my current goal is to lose 30lbs by my birthday December 10.

    Getting back down to a healthy BMI was my goal as well. I'm about 10 lbs under the overweight category for my height right now. I wouldn't cry if I lost another 5-10 lbs but I'm not actively trying to lose weight anymore.

    I want to lose 25 lbs. That's my first goal. Once I get there I will see if I want to lose more. My goal weight is 125 lbs. I'm only 4'11 though so it's high for my height.

    I don't have an exact weight I'm looking for. I want something in healthy BMI that I feel good about. I'm guessing about 120lb, that was my comfort weight before I started on BC which made me gain 15lbs and than I kinda gave up. I've lost 8lbs and have 21lbs to go that means. I plan on going a little lower than I want to maintain so I can figure out my food without worrying too much about gain. Healthy weight for me is between 98 and 132

    12 to 13 pounds to get to back to 100. I'd also like to get my body fat percentage which the scale tells me is 30% down to the low 20s. I'm a little under 5'2".

    It sounds like nothing, but it's hard.

    Body Composition is a better gauge. BMI can be misleading depending on your muscle mass. http://www.humankinetics.com/excerpts/excerpts/normal-ranges-of-body-weight-and-body-fat

    I understand. I'm about 5'2" and I can't carry too much weight. I'm 112 and because of fat distribution and fat percentage. I look ungainly. When I was younger, I weighed much less. I was more active, had a faster metabolism and had more willpower.

    This is mostly true for men. It would be a very small percentage of women who could have a BMI outside the healthy range and a healthy BF%.

    And BF% is a lot harder to measure. Even the most accurate methods have an margin of error. And most people rely on cheap methods.
