    I'm 5'6 and my UGW is 99lbs, then I would have about 10% body fat and my stomach wouldn't sit in one saggy bean bag when I sit down.

    uh that doesn't sound healthy.

    ^^^ I 2nd that ^^^

    HEIGHT: 5'10"
    CW: 228
    GW: 173
    UGW: 158

    Just wanna be healthy, fit, trim and the best version of me possible no matter what the numbers end up being.


    this makes me sad to think about. I can't even imagine myself being 99 lbs and I am only 5' tall....being 6" taller....that is beyond underweight according to any standard you could go by, even BMI. I don't mean to be rude, but at 105 lbs I would be about 10% body fat - my lean body mass is about 95 lbs.... I would think that at 99 lbs & 5' 6" you would be farrrrr below 10% BF....like close to none or not even possible....your lean body mass would likely be at the very least 99 lbs....... :(

    Starting Weight: 152
    Goal Weight: 130
    Current Weight: 121.6
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 118

    I'm very satisfied with my current weight but I would be extremely happy with my UGW. I'd like to reduce my Body Fat Percentage and tone up.

    My goal weight is awesome abs. I don't believe in the scale, it lies. I'm 5'4" a strong size 0 at 123 pounds . . . about 4 pounds of muscle too light.

    My goal is un-fat thighs. If I start adding muscle, as in my plan, this might happen at my entered goal weight of 145, maybe slightly lower.

    Someone here PLEASE explain what the hell the difference is between "goal" and "ultimate goal" ... because a goal implies a finish - and end to a challenge. If you reach your GOAL, you're at the appropriate weight for your body. That's your goal. It's been brought to your attention (all of you!) that the notion of "UGW" and "Ultra" is a term commonly used in the ED community - and you're all still just throwing it around like it's nothing. Your GOAL weight is your GOAL. Maybe think about what you're implying by saying you have a goal weight and an ultimate/ultra goal weight.


    kthnx.

    Ultimate weight? I'd rather concern myself with looking like Ultimate Thor or Ultimate Captain America.

    I guess the way I understood it, goal weight would be where you want to be, buy a new wardrobe, all that... And then ultimate or ultra goal would be a bit lower than that when you've gotten the full body comp you want. For me, I want to be at 130-140 depending on how that looks by December, but I also want to eventually get to 20% body fat. That will take about a year at this pace, and will probably be a lower weight. I just can't wait a year to replace my already too big clothes.

    Also, I said this in another thread, but I've read that overweight people often set goals that are high and think that lower would be grotesque/impossible, but it actually is possible and that becomes obvious at the original goal. I've never weighed 130 in my life, but according to the charts, even if I have a large frame I should be able to get there... Seems impossible, but I'll try, and if I feel happy somewhere along the way that will be my new goal weight

    My possibly naive understanding of OP was basically "ultra goal" as opposed to "mini-goals:.

    I think "ultimate goal" is used for where people want to be in the end, but they set mini goals with deadlines along the way. I try to set monthly goals, and at the end of each month I reassess. I would like to lose 5 pounds by October (which is a goal) but I would like to be between 135 and 140 by next summer (ultimate goal). That final goal may change, if I decide I look/feel good at a different weight. I haven't been below 148 since I had my first child (and I was happy there) so I might decide I like that again, I don't know.

    That's how I see this.

    No specific number for the random number generator for me. Just be as strong, lean and fit as possible.

    And remember girls (and eye candy for the boys :tongue:

    Toning would be more helpful for that then being underweight...

    I think if you compare the ages of the posters it quickly becomes clear which people have realistic goals and those with unrealistic goals.

    If you are referring to someone in particular, it's better to direct a comment to that specific person rather than a general "you." or else everyone thinks you mean them.

    That's a pretty rude assumption... So younger posters have unrealistic goals? Or if thats not what you meant, what are you implying?

    I am 5' and I would like to be 115-120 which is in the middle of my healthy BMI:-)

    I wish that the BMI chart was never created. Why? Because, people are taught that they have to be a certain weight according to their height and built and that's not true.

    I'm 5ft1" and according to BMI chart and my doctor, I'm supposed to be 101 pounds. As If! I can't speak for anyone else, but I will speak for myself. I would be anorexic. I'm not aiming to lose scale weight. I'm aiming to lose body fat percentage/pounds of fat. There's a difference between losing scale weight and losing pounds of fat. Scale weight is easy to lose. A person can lose 5 pounds of scale weight in a day, but they can't lose 5 pounds of fat in one day.

    I'm working on losing pounds of fat and gaining lean muscle. It will take me over a year to reach my 20% goal and when I get there, I'm looking at 185 to 189lbs.

    Scale weight doesn't determine if a person is healthy or even what size clothes a person wears.
