I'm just getting restarted. One of the things that I believed has tripped me up in the past is going gung-ho at losing weight without thinking things through and having a solid plan with milestones.
So, as I'm ramping up the exercise and eating/drinking healthier - I want to be more deliberate in how I measure progress.
How did all of you come to your ending weight goals?
My motivation for beginning again was stepping on the scale and seeing 250.0 -- at that moment I decided this STOPS NOW!
MY gut reaction is to set my GW at 150.0 because it's a nice round number and seems both overwhelming as a whole, but obtainable in small steps (10 x 10lbs or 20 x 5lbs).
I'm 5'7". My lowest weight ever was 135 in late high school, but honestly I had a very unhealthy lifestyle (depravation/binging/overexercising). Over the last few years I've fluctuated between 215 and 240ish. The lowest I've been since college is 195.
I'd appreciate any suggestions....or insights into how you set your goal weight!
THANKS!
