Default Re: Choosing a healthy goal weight

If you've never done Atkins before, you can't compare weight to size like you could on a balanced diet or especially a low fat/low calorie diet. Most of us have found that we can wear clothes at a much higher weight than we could before.

In fact, when I finally got out a box of clothes to try on because I was finally down to the weight at which I could wear them before, they fell off of me. Literally. I put on a pair of jeans that I thought would still be really tight and when I put my hands in the pockets, they fell to my knees, zipped and buttoned.

I think it is best to pick something in the middle of the range and decide when you get to the point that you like the way you feel and you like how you look in your clothes.
