ideal body weight

bushokie · August 2013

how would you come up with your ideal body weight...bmi,.body fat or doctor's recommendation, or go by your own goal

SJVZEE · August 2013

I just chose a number in the middle of the healthy bmi range for my height. And then I blew that out of the water after I transitioned into maintenance. I'm currently 13lbs under my goal weight now

Now I have a bmi of 19.7 and am at the lower end of the healthy bmi range. I'm just going with the flow at this point lol.

FeelingLessChubby · August 2013

I chose my ideal weight based on the time in my life when I felt the best, health-wise and looks-wise. Of course now I'm a little older so I may not feel the same way, but basically remembering what I felt like at the time is the reason I set my goal

MinnieInMaine · August 2013

I started out with a lot to lose and I hadn't been anywhere near a healthy weight for nearly half of my life at that point so I decided to go with the high end of the BMI range for my height. Once I get there, I may decide I'm comfortable or I may try to lose another 5 or 10 pounds.

This. I adjusted my goal several times based on how I felt. I am now at my college weight +/- 3 lb for about 2 years, and working with weight training to adjust my body composition. But I feel great and everyone tells me I look fantastic. BMI right at 20.

Mischievous_Rascal · August 2013

I'm aiming for 18% BF, whatever that weight may be. I'm close, so I think it'll fall around 130ish or the lower end of normal for BMI, and fifteen pounds less than my goal weight. (When I started I had no idea I would love lifting, so I didn't take into account any sort of body recomp - it's kinda awesome!)

_xXJennXx_ · August 2013

I want to get back to my pre pregnancy weight. So that's my goal weight.

noKTdidnt · August 2013

I calculated my body fat percentage and then calculated my goal body fat percentage to determine how much fat I want to lose. The result is that I'll still be out of the healthy range for BMI but exactly where I need to be for body fat!

_noob_ · August 2013

body fat % all the way for me. I'm almost "overweight" by my lean body mass alone according to BMI.

lorenzovonmatterhorn7549 · August 2013

BMI is a good starting point but body fat % is the way to go.

Kyllosis · August 2013

I'm aiming for a healthy BMI to start. I've seen a girl who's the same height as me and looks amazing at my goal weight, so that's what I'm aiming for.

I might be happy above it, we'll see.

Eastern_Echo23 · August 2013

Im not really built like a typical male. I have a much wider shoulder base and a larger ribcage... as my doctor says it I look like a "Linebacker or a Defensive Lineman." 5 years ago i got down to 210 pounds. You could see my ribs and my stomach was flat, and it looked really gross. Like I was malnourished, So we decided that even though a 6 foot 3 male should be about 195-197 pounds or something like that, 215 should be ok. Its more about body fat than weight. I had good blood pressure, good results during my physical. So I think my ideal goal weight is between 215 and 220 pounds. i think that is roughly 97 kg but I would have to check

Sassybmom · August 2013

I've been 115 to 215 and I feel best at 137. It's just trial and error for me. Under that my tailbone stings when I sit down and my face starts to look gaunt. Over that my knees start to ache and my hips. I've been this weight at 20% bodyfat and 25% bodyfat and for me that part doesn't make a difference aside from asthetics.

dgcuff · August 2013

i was originally shooting for the middle of my BMI range. Now I'm shooting for something a little higher.

After reading this page, I became concerned that some "ideal body weight" calculations set unrealistic goals:
http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm

I updated my ticker based on the information on this page. It took me awhile to notice that one of the calculations had been invented by the author of the page. I guess the message is to take all numbers with a grain of salt.

SoDamnHungry · August 2013

I chose mine based on how my pants fit.

BreonnaQueen · August 2013

I was originally aiming for a certain weight/size but now I just go by an ideal (and realistic) body I want (flat stomach, toned arms, ect)

HideyoshiKinoshita · August 2013

I chose mine based on my Role Model, Bailey Jay's weight seeing as me and her are the same height and she has a healthy weight.

Faye_Anderson · August 2013

I'm not aiming for a certain weight, I just want to look better

claudialenz711 · August 2013

used a crafty little iphone app which calculated it for me based on sex, age and height, I suppose. am now at lower end of the "normal" range (with ideal weight being bang in the middle) Guess any other method mentioned above does the job too.

tanyaslosingit · August 2013

I originally chose my goal weight based on three standards:

- Height: 100 pounds + 5 lbs for every inch abve that (so being 5'5", my goal weight was 125 lbs);
- BMI: I wanted to achieve the best possible BMI *without* going overboard into the Underweight territory. I thought this would allow me a little "give" in case I slipped up and gained a little bit back (which actually did work for me);
- The weight I was normally at since I was 18 until I was 38.

The thing was though, that once I achieved my goal weight I didn't look or feel right. Despite eating clean and exercising, I felt frail and looked gaunt. So now I've adjusted my goal slightly to 140. I'm still within the normal weight/BMI range but that's where I'm most comfortable and people aren't asking me if I'm sick!

After three weeks of overindulging myself on vacation, I'm at 144 but; I keep my MFP goals at 125 though to keep me motivated; but that's my own weird psychological trick ;-)

DonnaLeeCattes · August 2013

I was 201 when I started a year ago, my goal was 125. I got down to 122 and didn't like it that well so I went back up to 128-130.

mikejholmes · August 2013

At first, I decided to go for the middle of my BMI.
I got there without much problem, but then my bf%age was still too high -- I was skinny fat.
So then I started weight training.
But weight training hits limits rather quickly if you only eat at maintenance, or if you eat at a deficit.
So I started eating to gain weight (bulking), so I could gain strength.

Now, IDGAF what my weight ends up being, as long as I'm strong enough to press it over my head.
I might worry about my bf%age later. Or maybe not. Probably not.
I'll worry a lot about strength, and a bit about aesthetics, and not chase numbers.

gpizzy · August 2013

I will choose based on what feels right for me. I am well endowed in both the hip and chest area with a more natural hourglass shape. Knowing this, It isn't realistic for me to get to 150lbs (I would like weird), so hopefully I find myself around 160lbs when it comes time to maintain. I'm almost 5'8".

1princesswarrior · August 2013

I'm going for 18% BF, don't care what the scale or bmi ends up saying. That's the upper middle part of the athletic range.

paxbfl · August 2013

I'm surprised to see so many people looking at BMI. It's a "stupid" number - and I mean that literally. It's ignorant because it doesn't take body composition into consideration at all.

Your Body Fat Percentage is a much more "intelligent" number because it is measuring what you want to know - how much body fat you have on your body.

My body fat percentage is around 13-14% which is considered "lean" for my age (46), but my BMI is 25.7 - overweight. This is because I have a considerable amount of muscle mass. BMI says I still weigh too much because I have all this muscle weight! (duh!)

Before getting my body fat measured at the gym, I found this article interesting. It shows photos so you can kind of approximate your body fat percentage (and choose a goal):

http://www.builtlean.com/2012/09/24/body-fat-percentage-men-women/

Once you have a goal body fat percentage, use this formula to determine your approximate ideal body weight:

http://www.builtlean.com/2010/05/04/ideal-body-weight-formula-how-to-calculate-your-ideal-weight/

Hope that helps!

teamstanish · August 2013

Originally, my goal was pre-pregnancy weight. Now I base it off body fat. I'm at 17% BF and want to get down to 14%

The_GingerBeard_Man · August 2013

I set my goals based on body fat and how I wanted to look.

I didn't really have an idea of what my ideal weight would be, but I cannot remember the last time I was in ONEderland. I have been over 200 lbs since high school, and am in my 30's now. With my height and age, I should be at 180lbs on the larger end. I just chose 200 lbs since I don't know what I would look like at that weight and it is a nice round number to try to achieve and then once I get there (crossing fingers), I can decide where to go from there.

I simply remembered the weight I felt suited me best in the past - 12stone 7lbs (175lbs). Unfortunately I didn't take into account that I'm not 25 any more and I'm not carrying the same amount of muscle I used to!!

So I've now dropped to 12stone (168lbs) and I'm feeling this is the right weight for me now at 53.

Still going to reduce bodyfat percentage but otherwise around this weight feels right.

I spoke with my Dr. He knows me. That stupid chart doesn't.

I have my own goal based on the previous weight I was happy at. My goal is 150 which also falls inline with the BMI chart.

ideal body weight
