Just curious, how did the rest of you go about deciding on your target weight? Is there some sort of official height/health equation or is it just best guess (which is what I went with)?

I just remembered I felt good when I was 135. I know based on my height I should be less, but I never felt good lower than that.

hooligan,
 

In Atkins one page 217-8 (of the New Rev'n) he lists the Desireable Weights for women over 25. Since your 5'8" - small frame: 122-131, medium frame: 128-143, and 137-154. The way I figured my goal weight is by percent body fat. Here's a thread that gives a link to figure it out and also suggestions on what percent body fat is ideal (look for Nat's posts on the first page) - % Body Fat . Hope that helps.

Hope I am not to late...
 

I am new to these sorts of challenges, do we post our weights weekly in a new post? etc...

I would like to loose 2.5 lbs a week. If I could get to 168 by then I would be VERY VERY happy...... This is my lowest after preg weight that I have made it too....

Feb 1st
 

Hi folks,

I want to lose 12 pounds.....or two inches off my waist! Since I weight train, I figured that might be better......

I lose weight pretty slowly--but I gain it very slowly too. That's why I have high hopes of keeping this weight off. The 9 pounds I've already lost this past month have been INSANE for me :)

Feb 1st: weight 171 (may be lower though, scale at gym has always seemed a few pounds off)

measurements:
WAIST- 32.7 INCHES
HIGH HIP - 37.5 (this is wear I wear my pants)
LOW HIP - 39
TORSO - 33.5
BUST - 39
THIGH - 22.7
UPPER ARM - 12.9

Where to measure?
 

I measure myself and am wondering where eveyone else measures, or where your supose to measure? I measure everything from my neck to my ankle and everything in between LOL...

Also where is your waist supose to be ? I don't really have a waist. My pants go over top of my belly, and are not near my belly button. (this could be because my belly button is alot lower than it should be.)

Has anyone been watching the new program on TLC *the learning channel* called "The Personal Story" ? Every morning they do two shows based on plastic surgery. I have seen a few tummy tuck procedures and have seen some amazing results... Just curious if any one plans on having the excess skin removed once they loose all their weight? I don't think I could ever afford it.. and am a big wimp LOL..

Off to get the kids to bed...

A NEW WAIST
 

Tawnya,

I think your waist is wherever the smallest part of your middle is....

I know what you mean about "no waist", Mine is generally nonexistant. Well, WAS. On this LC WOE it seems like all of the weight I've lost has been on my waist, right below my rib cage! It's really exciting....I'm starting to get a FIGURE! :yay: :yay:

love,
Grace

I started a thread about measurements - here's the link : Measurements . Also, I am addicted to TLC. First it was trading spaces, then the dating story (b/c most are in Phila - where I'm from), then it was the wedding story, and now a Personal Story...I watch all day. I used to watch a personal story at my gym while I was on the tread mill - it's in my complex so not a lot of people go there...except this one time when this guy and came and started watching. It was the episode where the Chic gets new teeth, anyway, he thought it was the grossest thing and couldn't believe I could watch it...lol. I'm totally addicted. About the tummy tuck, I heard a couple people talking about it, you should do a search.

So February 1st: 157.0
and going for 2 lbs per week.
