As a 5'7" female, age 39 who ( apparently) has a small frame ( with a big butt hanging on it haha) I've chosen 140 as my goal weight. It's pretty much dead center of the BMI ranges given and 14 lbs away from where I am now. It's also where I was at my healthiest 13 (gasp!) years ago before kids and was eating and exercising- How did you guys choose your goal weight? |
I did the same thing you are doing. Picking a BMI that's in the middle of the healthy range. But as I got closer to goal, I gave myself enough "wiggle room" to either stay at the higher end of the or push to the lower end of the range.
See, I mainly went by clothing size. If I got to a solid size 8 I would be happy (and I am happy there by the way.)
