How To Set Weight Loss Goals

How do I set a weight loss goal?

I’ve been overweight my whole adult life to some degree or another, so now that I’m dieting and exercising, how do I know what my goal is? I don’t know what I look like weighing 140, 150 or whatever. I don’t know what I look like as a size 10 or 12. And furthermore I don’t know if I would be willing to do what it takes to maintain the lifestyle of me in size 10.

there are various formulas out there on how to find your “ideal weight”, one way is 100 lbs for the first five feet and 5 lbs for each additional inch, another is 118 lbs for the first 5 feet and 3.5 lbs for each additional inch. So for example, I’m 5’2”, so my ideal weight would be 110 or 125 depending on which formula you use (I’m not 110 or 125, but supposedly I should be) . But just because this is supposedly the ideal weight doesn’t mean it’s what will look best for you. You have to take your frame size and natural body chemistry into account here. Find a BMI calculator and set your goal at whatever weight will put you back in the normal weight range if you are currently over weight. If you are eating healthy and exercising, and you lose the weight slowly, you should not put it back on. So if you’re finding it a constant battle to maintain a size 10, set your sights a little, well, heavier, until you find a healthy weight that works for you. Good luck hun!
