I am currently 13 stone 13lbs. The top end of my healthy bmi range is 11 stone 6, so I mentioned it to my leader the other day thinking I was getting fairly close to gold membership - I have lost 6 stone so 2 and a bit stone to go no longer seems a lot!
Anyway, her reaction was, don't look at these numbers yet - 11 stone 6 is too high for your age - you will want to go lower
Now, considering how much I have lost, I feel I have to be realistic about stopping at a weight I can maintain.
I started a size 24 and am now a 14 in most, though not all shops. I always said I would be happy at a 14. However my bmi is still 30 so I definitely want to lower it a bit more.
But now that I can see me getting down to a bmi of 25, I decided to focus on that.
Now she is moving the goal posts again and suggesting a bmi of 22 or 23.
Sorry for the long post, but really I am wondering how others have decided on their goal weight, and what input they had from their leader.
Thanks
