Target!

[rainbow]

What is everyone target? Im aiming for eleven stone. Are people aiming for whats technically right for their height, a healthy BMI, or just where they think they'll be happy or comfy at? xxx

Hmm, tough one.... I'm 5ft10 and big boned (and fat) so I know I'll never be "light", I'm just aiming for a BMI of less than 30 at the moment!! x

I'm 5"6 and currently weigh 16.5st, i'm aiming for 10 stone. The lowest acceptable weight for my height is 8 12, but there is no way i could go to that as when i'm 11 st, i look thin, so i would look really ill if i went under 10. i remember 10 yrs ago i was 9st 7 and everyone said i looked skinny. Ha those were the days ha ha.

Lol - I like how big boned is a nicer kinda way of saying fat he he! Really stupid question but what should your BMI be? (dont actually mean yours Lou - mean mine) Im 5ft 5 and an ickle bit! xxx

I think the ideal figure is the low 20's. I've found a site where you can people can work their BMI's out..

BBC - Health - Healthy living - Body Mass Index calculator (imperial)

Ohhhh here you go..

Underweight = less than 18.5
Ideal = 18.5 to 25
Overweight = 25 to 30
Obese = 30 to 40
Very Obese = 40+

Bear in mind that this gives you a rough idea but doesn't take muscle into account, therefore rugby players are almost all classed as obese, though their weight is all muscle and not fat x

According to the NHS bmi calculator at 5 foot 5 a normal bmi (ie under 25) corresponds with a weight of approx 10st 9lb/10st 10lb or under. Your could go down to about 9 stone and still be in the healthy bmi range of 20-25

This is the link to the nhs bmi calculator I use:

Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculator - NHS Direct

Hope that helps Rainbow

Thanks Ruthlet and Lou. Well I'm now in the obese category, rather than the very obese, which is what I was when I started this diet eleven weeks ago. So although Ive still got a way to go at least I've moved category's!!! xxx

well done Rainbow, was just checking and you could actually lose another 30lbs + by the time you go on that holiday, keep up the good work. Jax x

I want to get to 8t 4 as this will be a healthy bmi and I thnk I'll be comfortable with this weight. The lowest I can go is 7 stone 1 but think I would look like a skeleton. I weigh 11 stone 9 at the mo so still loads to go.

[RUTHYJ357]

[Wish]

I want to get to 12 stone and see how I feel and look then. I am 15 stone and 5ft 6, anyone know what my BMI is from that?

 

[Topper78]

I'm currently weighing in at 14 stones although its weigh in tonight (fingers crossed as have deviated from plan a bit this week!). Am 5ft 5 so am aiming for 10 stones 7 first and seeing how I feel. Would ideally like to get just under 10. Its hilarious though coz if I ever need to get weighed at hospital appointments the nurses always look at me and say 'you don't look like you weigh THAT much'...charming!
