What made you chose your goal weight?

When I initally chose my goal weight I remember being happy at 180 about 15 years ago... so thought I would aim for the moon and go for 10lbs less. Then I found out to my shock and horror I am not as tall as I thought I was. I have always said I was 5' 10", am big boned and can carry weight. Turns out that I am 5' 81/2! Guess I am not as tall as I was. Then I checked out my BMI with weighing 170 and I am in the overweight category... but losing an additional 5 lbs would put me in the normal range. So that is what I am going for!
But... at the same time I am not tied to a number. When I get to where I feel great and comfortable with myself I will go with that.
Good luck to all of us on our journeys!0
