    4) I would like to stay below 140 lbs (unless I get pregnant with a third child...no restrictions then). I don't ever want to get back to anywhere near the weight I was.
    5) 115 lbs
    6) this mornings weigh in put me at 129.3 (although I hit a new low of 128.3 just a few days ago)
    7) 260 lbs

    You seem really fixated on a goal weight...

    Some people need goals for motivation. Tbh, I only set one cause the app asked. :shrug:

    Oh I have no issues with setting goals but OP has another active thread about trying to determine wiggle room for a goal weight. Just seems a little concerning. Believe me, I can fixate on numbers with the best of them but have had to learn with this process that as much as I want everything to be completely predictable and resulting from direct causal factors, sometimes directionally correct has to be good enough as does, "I will know what done looks like when I get there".

    Haha if you have a issue with the things i share then don't comment its that easy its concerning that your so fixated on what i choose to share all i can say is who cares if i have more than 1 thread going on its called being motivated and wanting answers that's why others share so you know what don't even come on here with that.

    1. 110
    2. Look and feel happiest at this weight, joint pain is somewhat less also.
    3. Not really. When I first lost weight and got closer to a normal BMI I started to think about how I felt and looked
    and this then lead me to adjusting further down on the scale.
    4. 120
    5. 100
    6. 103
    7. 268

    1.What's your goal weight. 120 ibs

    2.Why did you choose that goal weight. Because I weighed that in university and liked how I looked at the time :)

    3.Do you have more than 1 goal weight. Yep! I break up my weight loss into mini goals of 140 ibs (10 stone), 126 ibs (9 stone) too

    4.What's the highest weight you never want to go over. 191 ibs, as that's where I started lol. When I hit my goal weight, my aim is never to go over 9 stone again

    5.What's the lowest weight you don't ever want to go under.
    anything that gives me an unhealthy BMI, really. So I guess that would be round 115 ibs

    6.What's your current weight. 152 ibs (10 stone 12)

    7.What's your starting weight. 191 ibs (...almost 14 stone!)

    2.Why did you choose that goal weight.
    I want to feel comfortable in clothes, be fit and healthy and have body confidence

    I think everyone does really, everyone would always like to go that bit further, just seeing what's realistic.

    Anything bigger than what I am now.

    5.What's the lowest weight you don't ever want to go under.
    Anything below #1 i'd say

    6.What's your current weight.
    Current weight is 156lb, but approx a size 10-12 in UK clothing - 38inch hips, 32inch waist

    1.What's your goal weight? 125lbs
    2.Why did you choose that goal weight? It is around the middle of the healthy weight range for my height and I have felt good at that weight before.
    3.Do you have more than 1 goal weight? Sort of. I'd like to not be overweight so the top of the healthy weight range is also a goal.
    4.What's the highest weight you never want to go over? 149 lbs I guess.
    5.What's the lowest weight you don't ever want to go under? Below 120 lbs would be too low for me based on past experience.
    6.What's your current weight? 154 lbs
    7.What's your starting weight? 179 lbs
    8.What is your height? 5' 4"
