I'm finally below 75 kg :D

Actually, it's 74.5, but I'm happy nevertheless. My next goal will be going below 70 (and then below 65... and so on). I don't have my dream weight, because values like 50 or 55 are still abstract to me. The next good thing is that I'm losing fat mainly from arms, legs, waist and stomach, and my bottom is slowly getting smaller too. There is still much to do, though. The border between being overweight and normal is at 72.25 kg for my height... whew. I hope I'll reach it in June.

Congrats Magda! It tastes so good, doesn't it?

50 kg seems too low for your height... I'm 1.58 and my trainer says I should weight 53 kg..

Hmm, I don't think it's too low. My sister is a bit shorter than me. She weighs about 53-54 kg and is healthy, not underweight. It might be a family trait. My mum used to be 53 kg before she had kids - and she's taller than me. Long limbs and delicate bones, I guess. I know it's hard to see now, but I'm also built this way.

How tall are you Magda? For some reason, I have it in my head that you are 5 foot 10. Figuring out a goal is difficult and personal because there are lots of variables. You weigh less than I do- I hope that gives you some perspective (I had to convert it to tell). I think I must be pretty 'solid', because I seem to weigh a lot for my size. I have a larger bone structure, but not abnormally so- and I'm not particularly muscular. Weight is just another number to give you some reference. When I started my journey, and people would ask me my goal- they would be shocked that I wanted to loose 100 pounds. But my goal weight is not low for my height at all. Of course, it's not a weight that I have been before as an adult, so I am leaving room for adjustment as I go along. I actually just about fit into my junior high school drill team uniform now. Hubby says he will let me know if I get too skinny- I don't see that happening!

Khris, I'm not that tall - but I wish I were. I'm 170 cm, which is about... 5'7" I guess.

I can't believe you're heavier than me, you look slimmer. As I wrote, there's no goal weight, but rather goal size - EU 34 to be exact.

Itari, You are tall, I still think your goal size is too low for you, 50 kg is not a healthy weight for 1,70

I do think that Rute is right- according to the BMI calculator, for 5 foot 7 110 lbs (50 kg) is underweight. Of course, if you have a really slim build that might not be so for you. But as you already said- that is not your goal. I give myself 'mini goals', too. It helps to break it up and lets you see your accomplishments.

Wow - good on you Itari- what a great achievement! *round of happy applause!*

50kg as a goal would be very extreme, I'd urge you to rethink the number upwards.

I currently weigh approx 62kg and I am only 162cm (oh hey, I just noticed the symmetry - nifty!). My BMI is healthy, but on the upper side.

However - and here is the catch I want you to think about - even though I weigh "that much" I wear a size 10 (aus) would that be a 6-8 US? No idea why I am smallish but weigh so much - just one of my special little quirks I guess!

Now, imagine if I weighed 50kg - 12 kg less than I do now, I bet you would advise me that I look like a sickly stick.

My point is that weight is really just a number and try not to attach any emotion to a particular figure. Try to remember that it is really size that is the most important factor when it all comes down to it!

Well done! That's a wonderful achievement!

WTG Magda - that is a really great achievement! You should be feeling VERY proud of yourself

FWIW I'm 163cm (roughly) and about 56kgs, and from memory that's the lower end of "healthy" weight range, and I know that for me personally, I am much healthier at the 57-58kgs mark - but I just struggle to get there - when I'm any less than 55kgs I'm constantly sick and my body takes forever to recover from anything. I'm fairly fine boned too - teensy wrists and ankles...

I think you will know if you drop too much weight because our bodies are remarkable things and let us know.

Thanks! As I wrote, I don't have a goal weight, as I don't really know how would I look at 55 kg for example. I'm certainly not going to look starved and sickly
