Good question! Not only is it slightly on the lower side of a healthy weight for my height, it's also the weight listed on my driver's license. Ready for that weight to finally be accurate again!0
-
I took my height then did 100lbs for the first 5 feet, then 5 lbs per inch above. I've weighed 10lbs above my goal weight before and felt I could have lost a little, so I feel its close to accurate.0
-
My goal weight is 165 pounds... 65 pounds under what I started from. The reason I chose this goal weight is because it's what I weighed when my husband and I got together in 2005.0
-
Right now my goal weight is -100 pounds. The reason is, I feel if I have lost 100 pounds that I will have accomplished something. not to mention I will be 100 pounds lighter on my feet0
-
My goal weight is the high end weight of a healthy BMI. Maybe I can get smaller than that...maybe not, but just being in the healthy range when right now I'm in the morbidly obese range would be AWESOME!!!!0
-
I just chose mine because it was right in the middle of my "ideal" weight for my height. If I get there and find it's not right for me then I'll do some adjusting.0
-
I picked a nice round number, just the 200lb to lose!! To be honest, I will probably need to go a little lower than that, but I thought I'd get the 200 out of the way first, and take it from there!0
-
It's the middle of my healthy range for my height based on the MFP BMI.0
-
As a runner, I feel the lighter you are the faster you are...and I want to be a pretty damn fast runner.0
-
Because it is exactly 100 pounds less than where i started at! I figured that would be quite the goal to reach, on my own. Give me something to be proud of.0

I actually went to the university and had my muscle to fat ratio tested in the bod pod. Then I took my lean muscle (with 0 fat) and multiplied it by 1.22 (because I want to be about 22% fat). May be bass ackward, but that's how I came to my goal.0
-
My goal weight = My current lean body mass plus 20% fat. If my LBM goes higher, my goal weight will go higher too.0
-
My goal weight when I started was 160lbs from 179lbs but now I have lost 14lbs I have made my goal 145lbs..then I may change it again...but for now my goal is 145lb0
-
My goal weight is 115 because this was my natural weight a few years ago without even trying!! I'd like to get back to that, because it's where I feel comfortable. Also, because I've been there once I feel like it's reasonable to reach it again.
...With that said, I'm willing to re-evaluate my goals at 125 based on how I look and feel at that point. I am a few years older, and may end up with more muscle mass that would make my weight higher but my health and appearance would still be fine.0 -
Because at 140-150 lb., I don't feel "fat".0
-
Chose mine because it in in the "healthy" range for BMI. 39 down, 21 to go.0
-
A nice achievable (I hope!) number in the middle of my healthy BMI range. I'd love to enjoy clothes shopping again, but my BMI drives me more :-)0

My goal weight was my weight at my fitness peak, early 20's. I would be happy enough if I am just within 20 lbs. of it.0
-
I chose my goal weight because when I was that weight before that was when I felt and looked the healthiest.0
