How did you choose your "target weight"?

When I was in my 20's I weighed 115/120 pounds. I am 60 now and I weigh 145 pounds (well 141.2 today). I am fortunate that I carry it well so, most people don't believe I weigh that much. I am 5'4" and I am choosing 130ish as my goal weight. I will tweak that as I get a little closer. Too thin and my wrinkles would be too obvious. For me this is more about staying active & enjoying life than being thin.1

Everyone is different. It's not just weight but overall health and athletic ability (running and riding) for me. And guess what, it can change over time also. I rarely weigh myself now after maintaining for over 2 years but when I was losing back in 2017 I hit my goal and while I was increasing cals slowly I kept losing. Then I ended up with the Flu in early 2018 and for the first time in my ENTIRE LIFE I was below 100 pounds. Well I am sure when I was a child I was but I don't recall weighing back then. LOL. And it was very freeing to wake up and realize I wasn't trying to lose weight anymore. I do not have anorexic or body dismorphic tendencies so I could see that this was the very low end for me. Anyway, it was interesting that in order to find the "weight" that felt best for me I had to go below it for a little bit not intentionally to find where I had to be ... Not recommending this to anyone but just relating my story.4
