Evolving personal weight loss goals and when to stop

At the beginning my target was 185 since I hadn't seen that number since college and it seemed like a big win. Once the results started showing up I shifted the target to a normal BMI range and brought it down to 164. Reached it after seven months and this whole thing is great.

Nice work, that's awesome. Keep the momentum going.

I began all of this to clear up fatty liver and get more energy during the day. As the pounds came off I also started aiming for a normal healthy BMI again, so that's what I'm going for now.

The first target is 199.9 to hit onederland. After that I'm not sure yet. That weight would match what I was back in middle school thirty three years ago.

I never set a strict target weight, just somewhere near 200. I'll mostly go by how I feel and maybe a bit by how I look. I'm pretty thick so being skinny probably wouldn't suit me.

165 pounds. That lands me in the middle to upper part of a healthy body fat percentage around 17 percent. Still have 13 or 14 pounds to go at a slow pace.

I know I look and feel good at 185 and under so I'm not sure where I'll finally land. Probably somewhere in the mid 170s. Currently at 195 so getting close.

My first target was 120 because of a family event and it seemed reachable. I hit it the day before the event. Then the final target became 110 to sit right in the middle of the BMI range for my height. Now I'm just figuring out maintenance and this morning I'm at 108.

I used a BMI calculator and kept trying different numbers until I moved from obese into just overweight and that became my first target. I'm still working toward it but I don't plan to stop there, I want to keep going. I just needed something to aim at first.

Good question, I enjoy seeing what others say. I have several targets. I'm tall at 5'8 with even hourglass proportions and thick bones so a very lean look isn't my direction but the frame helps carry weight nicely. First target is looking firm and thicc which happens around 223. That's when I really start feeling good about myself and can wear straight sizes. 192 is the final target where I fit size 8-10 dresses and most knee length boots while still keeping some curves. 162 is a super dream target but I'm not sure I actually want it. It would put me at the top of the healthy BMI range and I'd look very willowy but I haven't been that light since my early twenties and a bit of padding might feel more attractive with age.

I first set a target of 70 kg. I've been at 60 kg before and it didn't feel sustainable so 70 kg seemed healthy for me. While on prescription the doctor suggested moving the target to 68 kg to allow for some regain after stopping. They were wrong though because I hit the goal and still wasn't satisfied.

My goal weight was 165 because that was the lowest I reached as an adult. At 5'9 and being big framed that sits in the normal BMI range. Now that I've hit it I'm going to see how low I can go without looking or feeling unhealthy.

As a 44-year-old woman standing five foot four, I began with a target of one hundred seventy pounds. That number represented my previous low point in adulthood, so it appeared attainable, and I also set a more daring objective of one hundred fifty. Those milestones came quickly, after which I continued shifting my targets downward. Now weighing one hundred thirty-five, my aim is one hundred thirty to feel at ease in size six bottoms.

After my first kid left for college I was a healthy fit woman but then I started eating more and moving less. That pattern kept going with menopause and an injury that set back fitness. Around the same time my husband gained weight and ended up diabetic. He got prescribed meds that insurance covered but I didn't. I wanted to do this alongside him so I went the compounded route through a doctor I know. Not sure what my goal is or how fast to increase the dose. Seeing others go slower makes sense and seems like an advantage of compounded. I'd like to lose about 25 pounds.

200 pounds for now. Only 43 pounds left.

This is a good question. At first I wanted to reach a BMI that was overweight instead of obese. After getting there and taking a few months off I reset the target to lose another 10 kg. This is more about confidence and getting rid of the spare tire at my waist. I'd like to take my shirt off at the beach without feeling self conscious. At 55 I also think about other health problems that come with extra weight. I've already stopped all meds for an arthritic knee after the first big drop so that's been good too.

I want to hit 145 pounds, which equals 66 kilograms, since that was the point where my body felt good and my appearance suited me. Reaching it could push me toward 140, if I ever manage to pay for surgery to take away the extra skin.

My goal is 200. I haven't seen that number since I was 18 which was 47 years ago. My lowest adult weight is 230. Currently 250.

I don't have a weight goal. My goal is about body fat percentage. At first I was thinking 12 percent. Since starting in mid April I've dropped from 24 percent to 13.7 percent so my ambitions have grown and now I'm aiming for 10 percent.

I always want to be thinner.

121. I want to be dead center in the lower half of the healthy BMI range so that if I gain a few pounds while figuring out maintenance I won't feel overweight. I'm not having much success getting all the way there though. Hovering between 126 and 128 and can't seem to move further. I also don't feel strongly enough about the goal right now to push harder.

My initial target was 220 which is right around the line between obese and overweight BMI for me. I picked it because I've yo-yoed a lot as an adult, been below 220 a couple times but usually much higher, and it felt sustainable with clothes that fit reasonably well. I'm now right around 220 and decided to keep going to at least 210. In the past anything below 220 was hard to maintain because I'm not into counting calories or skipping desserts and I'd start slipping back. With the support I have now it's much easier to avoid the unhealthiest choices without tracking everything. So I think I can reach at least 210 and maybe even push down to 200.

My major goal is 99.9 kg because that was my weight when I finished school and started college. Today I reached another goal below 130 kg which was my weight during college when I trained hard and could never get under that mark before. My current weight is the lowest in the past 20 years. The next small goal will be 120 kg.

The actual weight number isn't that important to me since I've always had a high BMI even when lean. My goal is body fat percentage under 10 percent which means I need to go under 250 pounds. Started four weeks ago at 278.8 and now at 273.3. Added in growth hormone at the same time which is causing some water retention. I weight train every day with 21 heavy sets plus an hour of cardio. Only up to 2.6 mg so far.

Back in school I aimed for my graduation weight and hit it faster than expected. That brought back memories of the extra pounds program during my final year at the service school. So I shifted focus to matching my lightest racing days and made it there fairly quickly too. Next I looked at my body mass index when I began this whole thing which was forty and put me in the severely overweight range. The plan became dropping below thirty to leave the obese zone behind. Still working on it but after seven months I'm almost there.

I haven't picked any final target weight yet but instead I focus on hitting certain checkpoints along the way. So far I've reached two of those. The first one meant shedding ten percent from where I started. After that came getting below two hundred pounds. Right now the next checkpoint is leaving the obese range and I'm sitting maybe two pounds short of it though a recent boat trip could have pushed me a little farther back for the moment. Following that I'd like to reach a twenty percent drop from my original weight. Once that's done the goal after would be landing in the normal body mass index range. Beyond those steps it's hard to say what might come next.

I'd like to lose a full half of my original weight but will probably try to maintain at about five to eight pounds more than that.

A long time back I tipped the scales at sixty kilograms yet still possessed a protruding midsection. My chief objective centers on reducing belly fat to arrive back at sixty kilos through body recomposition.

I don't have a particular target in terms of pounds either. At fifty one years old and five feet nine inches tall my present weight sits at one hundred ninety two pounds with fourteen percent body fat. I want to reduce that percentage down to ten just to experience how it feels. After reaching that point the plan is keeping it near twelve percent over the long haul. My weight will likely land somewhere between one hundred seventy and one hundred eighty pounds though it might increase slightly once muscle gets added. I'm not chasing a massive physique only an athletic healthy build. The look I picture resembles a leading man at his peak in action films.

Never hit 220 pounds or 100 kilos as an adult before. Might drop lower or hold there while adding more lifting. Tough to picture myself at 100 kilos or below, but we're in this long haul so maybe someday.

Haven't really thought about a goal yet. Started at 308 late December and hit 246 this morning. Used to be 200 and in good shape playing high school football, so hoping to get under 200.

First goal is just getting under 200. Started losing weight six years ago with intermittent fasting at 396. Did that for two years then ozempic for nearly two until the PAP ended and I regained 40 of the 150 lost. Switched to compounded after a few months, then found this place and grey sources. Now at 230 after being overweight my whole life with lots of yo-yo diets. Peptides have been a lifesaver.

First goal is hitting my post-VSG lowest weight, only 2.5 pounds away. Approaching a milestone birthday so not sure what's realistic. Have a number in mind but will see what feels comfortable. Whatever the final number, it leaves 3-4 pounds of room to sort out maintenance. Even without another ounce lost I'm already under half my old weight.

First goal was a nice round number of pounds lost and I reached it. Second goal is based on the weight needed for skydiving.

Male turning 39 soon, 5'4". Started at 215 and began reta about 10 weeks ago. Originally planned to reach 180 then reassess or maybe stop, but today I'm at 182. Early on I realized that goal weight wouldn't be enough. Now thinking 160-170 lean would feel right. Don't want to look like a muscle midget or a tiny runner either. Also learning that cutting and building muscle at the same time work against each other and get complicated.
