What (Realistically) would be my ideal weight?
Im a guy, 40 years old, and 178cm, I was 121kg in May 2013, now I've just hit 85kg, MFP says my ideal weight is below 79kg, which seems a bit far fetched, I've really got no goal weight set, but I lost a lot more than expected, and everyone i know is telling me I've lost to much and must stop.
