Trying to lose weight!

[Anonymous]

so I'm gonna start going to weight watchers soon

and I'm about 195 and 5'9. and I'm a girl.

i was wondering what's a reasonable amount of weight I should lose.

like what should my target weight be?

i think I hold my weight pretty well. like it evens our all over my body. I look like I weigh less then I really do. I like that about me. but I hate how much I weigh!

how much do you think I should lose?

If you really want a target, you could set shorter term goals, like, in two weeks, I want to lose 15 lbs, or something. I think that would be better, since then you can see how your body feels and decide what a good weight for you is once you get there.

Any where from 125-170 is in the normal range according to bmi. So I guess going with the middle is 147. The real question is what weight do you want to be?

Also yes I know BMI isn't perfect but it's close enough and helps a lot.

I'd say 140 would be a good target weight, and if you're not happy once you've reached that then you can keep on going.
