Question

How do you know what your ‘goal weight’ is?  

Answer 1

Honestly, I wouldn’t use any charts. You can look to see what they recommend you be at your height but I chose what I feel would be comfortable for ME! I don’t want to be 5’2 110 lbs I’d feel like I need a burger or 6 lol (not to bash on anyone that love the way they look and feel that way). I am currently 5’2 183-187 and I would love to lose 30-40 more lbs but nothing more. I feel like if I can tone my curves I’d be happy the way I am (even weight wise). Just find a place where you love YOU!

@pyosis4 I'm right there with you. I feel perfect at 152 and I'm 5'2. Before all this covid stuff I was almost back to that weight. Now, I'm working towards it again. Good luck to you!  

Answer 2

You pick

Answer 3

I used the ww chart as a guide

Comments

@boycott where do I find that chart on the app

---

@nashner i dont see it on the app but its on the website. Very broad weight ranges. Im 5'6 and high end is 155. I was shockedit was that high

---

@boycott thank you !  

---

@boycott why would you be shocked, 155 is healthy for 5’6. 124 would certainly be unhealthy. I’m that height and 142 was very thin for me.  

---

@jon7 155 lb seem quite heavy for 5'6. My goal is 130.  

---

Damn. I'm 5'9" and they say 130's ? At 150 I look too skinny. I cant imagine 135, I'd look sickly.  

Answer 4

There is a guide from WW that gives you the healthy weight range for your height. You can choose between that range.

@brimmer29 where can I access the chart?  

---

@brimmer29 does it have to be within that range to hit lifetime? I think their range in unrealistic for me. I think a BMI of 30 (allowed as maximum in Air Force) might be a floor and work from there. I'm thinking a BMI of 25 is too low. )

---

@macao My goal weight is 146 for 5 ft 4 in. If you feel the BMI of 30 is more realistic and healthy for you, I would speak with me doctor and see if he would write a note for that recommendation. You do want a goal that you can maintain. I have had my weight off 3 years. I play with 5 or 6 pounds over sometime but try to get it off before it gets out of hand. I have learned trigger foods that make me gain . I have to stay away from sweets, salty foods only occasionally and sweet tea! (I’m a southerner). Lol

Answer 5

Guess where you would like to be, where you feel confident comfortable at.  

Answer 6

There are many charts just Google. Also, a Doctor’s note will allow a higher weight that WW

Answer 7

I'm sure WW has a BMI chart they go by, if they let us pick it may not be a correct number I know for a fact I won't ever be 135 /140 but at 5'5 probably where I should be I'll be happy with 190ish.  

Answer 8

It’s goes by your height

Answer 9

I am 73 years old and 5 ft 4in. I chose the highest end of the chart for my goal. Lost 38 lbs but didn’t want to lose more because I felt good at this weight for lifetime. As someone else stated, you can get a doctor to write a note saying they think you are at a healthy weight.  

Answer 10

My dr gave me a note and I gave my leader. Easy!  

Comments

@vaios lucky my doctor wont give a note for anything over what ww recommends

---

@boycott Odd. It’s very common. Have someone else write one for you. if you have another dr. I mine is 5 pounds above so I have room to fluctuate. Plus, you can quit paying sooner

---

@boycott my pcp was the same. but when I had an appt with my cardiologist I asked him and he agreed  

---

@vaios i know i wanted a note so i could be at goal and not pay but my doctor wont write a note if it puts you in the overweight category

Answer 11

Pretty much u can choose im on weight watchers myself for 3rd time and I really don't know what mine is either this is pretty much a long journey for me. If u wanna be on fb we can give support up to u

Answer 12

It's pretty much your choice from your start weight and see what you wanna be from there

Answer 13

I use a BMI calculator. I want my BMI to be in the middle of the normal range. The normal range is between 18 and 25 so the middle is 21, 5. So for me i need to weigh 58 kg to have a BMI of 21, 5. This is my goal weight. But it’s really up to you.  

Answer 14

I was always told 5foot =100lbs, then add 5 lbs for every inch over under you measure in height.  

Answer 15

Your WW leader will tell you when you sign up. Based on height, weight and age.  

Answer 16

On your app, go to settings -> weight settings -> goal weight. It tells you what your “healthy” weight range is.  

Answer 17

I use the BMI chart personally.  

Answer 18

WW told you when they gave you the color of your plan. when it told me mine, i literally, laughed out loud. but we shall see.
