    I'm curious how you picked your goal. I've seen women of my height here with a wide variety of goals for their weight so it made me curious how others chose.

    Mine was simple - I looked at a BMI chart, saw where i went from "overweight" to "within normal" and picked a few pounds below that threshold. I figure once i get there I'll figure out if I'm happy, want to lose a few more pounds, or if i want to tone up even if that means weighting up too.

    I aimed for the top of the normal BMI chart at first. Then when I reached that I saw that there was still work to do, so I readjusted to the middle of the normal range. I'm just about done losing. I think I am a little below the middle of the range now. Towards the end I stopped worrying about the BMI scale. It was a good starting point for me, but ultimately I am going by how I look and feel!

    I was a cyclist, so I picked the weight I was when I was at my fastest.
