What BMI does your goal weight bring you to?

I'm aiming for a BMI of 22 (started with a BMI of 44) and then I'll start recomp. Roughly 4.5 lbs away :drinker:

My goal puts me at 25.7. Still overweight but once I get there I will figure out how much I want more I want to lose. Maybe just 5 more lbs or could be 15lbs. I started at 32.1, now at 31.1. Will be doing a happy dance once I get it under 30.

Well. I use a bmi calculator that accounts for framesize, but anyway, now I'm at 27.2, goal weight puts me at 20.5, and ultimate goal weight puts me at 18.2. (179, 135, 120 at 5'8'')

22.6, I'm already at a healthy bmi and just want tof lose some weight.

5'8''

SW - 200 - 30.4
GW - 160 - 24.3

Once I get there I'll decide what to do, but the closer I get to my goal (at 172 right now) the more I think I'll transition to maintenance and recomp. That last few months have taught me that what I really want is to be strong and able to do whatever I want without being help back by physical limitations. And looking at the picture @rabbitjb posted earlier I think that will work for my vanity too

My ultimate goal during the weight loss phase puts me at a BMI of 17.1, however I realize that I will likely gain a few pounds during the transition into maintenance, which accounting for this puts me at a (hopefully) final BMI of 18.9.

I'm pretty sure my goal weight still puts me into "overweight" according to BMI, but I don't put much stock in BMI, so it isn't part of my decision making.

So your ultimate goal is a weight that would see you hospitalised

And that is appropriate how?

It is a difference of less than 15 lbs between the stop losing point (which admittedly does put me in the underweight category) and my desired final settling point (which places me within the healthy range). I know that as I am figuring out how to strike the balance between intake and expenditure to maintain my weight loss I will put a few pounds back on, hence the initial undershoot. Also bear in mind that I am less than five feet tall and have a small skeletal frame.

What BMI calculator is that then?

19-21.3

I don't know where I'm going to end.

Currently 22.1, will decide what to do next at 21.0. But I'm planning to maintain this weight until I achieve my current fitness goals. I'm not thrilled with how I look but I'm also not used to it, you know?

But you're planning on losing to a unhealthy low weight on the possibility to going to maintenance will make you gain a few pounds. I wouldn't say that's a good plan. And hitting maintenance doesn't mean you'll go up in weight. The weight I stopped dieting at is the exact weight I maintain at. The only people that would really see a big jump in pounds would be someone transitioning from low carb as well. There's no need to drive yourself to such a low weight on the premise you may find a few pounds at maintenance.

My goal weight brings me to a bmi of between 21 and 22.
