Things like that are interesting... My WW Online says my goal is 111. I know that's not totally unreasonable, but the thinnest I've been in my adult life was 115, and I was wearing a size 2 then. I really have no desire to weigh 111.

Speaking of strange charts/goals/whatever, I once saw an online store that called a size 6/8 a large. I know vanity sizing exists, but that's insane!

Woo-hoo. Now that I can post links, I can show y'all what I meant before.

http://jas.familyfun.go.com/healthto...=OptWeightForm

If you look in the text on the left, it has a link in Step 2 that tells you how to find your frame size. If you use a measuring tape and the chart on the page in the link, you can find it easily. Then, you can plug in your info and have a more accurate weight. It does clearly explain that it will not be accurate for those with an "athletic" build (who have more muscle mass than typical for their size).

HTH

Seems a little more reasonable than other charts I've seen before. Puts my optimum weight at 127 - 141 pounds, and I'd say I'm carrying 5-10 lb more than "ideal" for my frame right now, so seems right on the money for me.

Fluffy- Yes that is much more realistic to me, thanks for the link. It is a reminder that we don't have to be in the thinnest possible body ever--just to be healthy!
