found the BMI section. It says my ideal weight is 111.2 to 150.2. I don't think I can get to 111, so aiming for 150 and then rethink after that.

    Same range here. I can't imagine weighing 111 and wonder if any 5'5" person would look healthy @ that weight? But maybe I'm just trying to talk myself into not having to lose as much : )

    Me too! I am in the Healthy range now and I'm about 20 lbs from the low... I would look like a bag of wrinkles if I got down to that lowest number... Maybe if I was in my 20's or 30's I might could weigh that, but when you get older it just don't work...:-)

    My lowest would be 101.2....don't see that happening. I'm just thrilled to be in the "healthy range" now. But aiming for the middle of that range now.

    I believe the BMI is made up by the government, I don't trust anything they say. ;)

    Me too. 101.2 - 136.7 lbs I can't imagine being that low, although I was in high school. I'm aiming for 110-115.

    I found the ticker, I think I like it counting backwards at least it doesn't show a "0" Stepped on the scale this morning and I was down 2 pounds, but I think I will only change it once a week on the ticker.

    everyone has a different body structure so the numbers are parimeters only.
