Should I change my goal?

): I refuse to give up!

This morning I measured mysellf and learned I'm almost an inch shorted than I thought. So, I'm thinking I should change my weight loss goal. I guess I don't know because the BMI calculator isn't a real reliable source in my opinion and when I went and did a an online BF test, the results are no different for one inch in height. Maybe it was a dud test. Any thoughts? Would you change your goal?

THIS is why my goal wasn't a number, I just don't know when I'm going to be happy.

To heck with BMI - how do you feel?
You have 11 lbs to go, so a goal change would subtract about 4 lbs.

Is that where you want to be?
And not trying to be dirty here, but.....
When your naked body is reflected back in the mirror, do you like what you see?

That's the real test - not some stupid BMI standard.
Here is a better approach: body fat.

i would say no, depending on posture, u can gain or lose an inch or so in your height, but also happiness is not something you can find with a scale. you have lost a lot already you seem pretty close to your goal. does that bring you any joy?

Maximal Life, that was an awesome link, thank you! I feel great but no this is not where I want to be. No this is not how I want to look naked either actually.

Firefight. Yes being close to my goal does bring me joy and I feel very happy to be where I am, I just want to look smoking' and I'm not there yet. I guess it really isn't about a number and hopefully I'll know I'm there when I am.


Thanks both of you.
