So many people with respectively high final GWs....

I see it a lot with women, especially. For example, a 5'4" female starts out with a weight of 350 pounds, and her goal is to get to 175 pounds. That's still obese! I see this a lot where people set goal weights when they are probably underestimating their potential! I understand people want to set realistic goals, but why go so far when you only just a little more to go before your REAL moment of victory? The "healthy" range! Really, if you've set a high final goal weight, consider the fact that with a little more time, you can do even more than that! All it takes is a little more time.

Are you these people's personal trainer or doctor? If yes, address this to them directly. If no, GTFOOOPGW.

*figure out that initialism

Get the F out of other people's goal weights?

Step right up folks, we have a winna!

bump so I can finish reading this later tonight I am only on page 6 lol

OP- You mentioned in another thread that you don't think 1100 calories is too low and that some days you only eat 800.

Tell me again why you are asking about other people's GW when you clearly need some help with your relationship with your own self. You have given dangerous advice and have shown that you are not healthy yourself in your own calorie intake. You also mention in your profile that you are insecure. It seems to me your are projecting those insecurities onto other people. Please focus on your own health, then you might better understand why people set goals the way they do.

It got moved from Motivation and Support - since so many found it demotivating and the gifs started, I guess this was the only place thety could think to put it? :drinker:

really? was it? this just confirms my suspicion that it was meant well!

Wrong.

It was moved OUT OF Motivation & Support because it's stupid.

Yay for a whole topic filled with bullies. Hope ya'll feel proud

Oh you.

Motivational or not it backfired. it's like when that guy wrote that aricle about the fat woman at the track. Sometimes people who are well intentioned end up being inadvertant jerks. Intentions don't change that.

What's the quote? "The road to Hell was paved with good intentions."

Poor wording ruined it. If they OP ever took the time to come back they could have defended it.

Neh... trolls don't come back to defend their asinine assumptions and thoughts.

Truth!

Some people prefer to do it in little chunks.. like I'll get down to 175, celebrate, then set a new goal.
It's less intimidating than thinking about the whole amount you need to lose.

Funny, I'm 5"4 and my goal weight is 176lbs!! It's like the OP is talking right to me. Let me explain the reasoning behind my current goal weight

Well, back when I was 24, I was around 180lbs and...

It's all good. You do what works for YOU and that's what matters. :flowerforyou:

I agree, I think negative posts like hers should be removed.... at least the people on here are trying to lose weight... don't poo on them for it!! silly cow!
