    My current Goal Weight was picked because its where I was about 5 years ago. lol its funny to think I was sad about how much I weighed then. I plan on getting there and then reassessing.

    My goal is to be at about 22% body fat. Right now I have 128 pounds of lean muscle.

    128 x .22 = 28.16 pounds of fat.

    So with 128 pounds of lean mass, add 28 pounds of fat ( for 22% body fat), I would be 156.16. So my goal is 150-156.

    At first I had my goal set at 145, then I realized that even at 18% body fat I would have to loose lean muscle mass to get down to 145. Definitely don't want to loose lean mass. LOL So I adjusted my goal.

    My mini goal is to loose 2% body fat each month. That would have me reach my goal in about 7 months if I work really hard.

    God bless!

    My goal weight has changed a few times. As of right now weighing it at 159.6 and being 5ft9inches, Im in the "healthy" range on the BMI chart. If I get lower, great if not I'm okay where I am. I will be toning after my back if healed! :)

    I looked back to a time in my life when I felt comfortable with my body, healthy, and full of energy. I found photos from that time and liked the way I looked - - not flabby, but not hungry. I made sure that the weight was a "healthy" BMI and chose that as my goal weight.
