Question for Lifetimers - how did you determine your ultimate goal?

[MissChocoholic]

I'm a newbie at Weight Watchers and was hoping for some advice from all of you Lifetimers, since I want to get to that point someday! So here's my question...

My doctor advised me that 110 would be my ideal weight for now and that we can re-assess my goals (if I feel is still needed) once I get there. That leaves me with 8 more lbs to go. If I do want to re-evaluate my goals once I get to 110, I'll want to change my goal again. So will WW allow me to change my goal?

I was wondering how all of you had decided on your ultimate goal and if any of you were facing the same questions I currently am. Thanks so much in advance!!

Miss Chocoholic--love the name BTW--you can always have a personal goal that is different than WW's. You just don't want an unhealthy one.

Yes, WW will allow you to change your goal. Just let your leader know and she'll fill out a form and send it in to headquarters.

I set my goal for the top of my weight range, but now want to get lower. I have been 9 pounds lower than what I am now and really like I feel and look at that weight so I'm working on getting back down there again.

I think the best way to set your goal is to go by how you feel and look at a certain weight. Don't just go by a number only. Everyone is built differently so the same weight will look different on everyone.

Thank you both so much for all your advice. And yes, I do plan on seeing how I look and feel in the next 10 lbs and see which weight I want to go by. Thanks again!~
