Target weight setting

6 replies

Dopaminefuelled · 28/02/2024 15:41

I'm going to join up again tomorrow morning. What I'd like to know please is if I can set a target weight that is still technically overweight? I'd like to lose 2 stone to improve my chances of getting pregnant and to be more comfortable. Also, it shouldn't take an age like the full amount of weight would. Ultimately I need to lose at least 5.5, I'd like 6.

(currently 14.5 stone. 2 stone loss would be 12.5 stone. And 5.5 stone loss would make me 9 stone. I'm 5ft 2)

Yes you can choose a personal goal and change it later if you want to. Doesn't have to be in "healthy" bmi.

Im on my 3rd target

First was 1 stone, the second was a specific weight , as is this one and as Im struggling to get to this new target I might call it a day and call target - and thats all fine and Dandy with SW. Your target is your target

@suki1964 I’m quite new to SW and I want to slightly lower the target i initially set. Please could you advise how I’d do that? Do you tell your consultant or do it on the app? Can I just let the girl who does the weigh ins know?

Thanks for your help, I still get nervous turning up and want to know what to do!

@Motherofpearlxoxo Any or either :) I got to my first target and the lass on weigh in told me , so I got my certificate then about a week later I said to the consultant I wanted to change my target and paid for another countdown. Same with this target, reached target, stayed with it for a week or three, was still losing so just told the consultant I wanted a new target and paid again.

Once you hit target you attend for free, until you drop or gain more then 3lb, then you start to pay again. So the girls on weigh in will always let you know and even if you dont get to talk to the consultant group, it will flag up on her records and she should contact you to see what you want to do
