Goal weight?

Does everybody have one?

I have started on MJ at over 19 stone and so far lost around 3. I haven't got a target weight though. I think because I have spent so many years going up and down between 15 & 19 stone my brain is struggling to believe this might be it and I will actually achieve a healthy weight. I have been setting small goals, but I'm a bit nervous about saying I want to be 10 stone or whatever.

I started at just under 20 stone.. a size 26/ 28.( 5ft 7)
Yes l know it's a lot.. but I'm severely disabled and broke my hips and pelvis again .
I am now 16st 6.
Started last week of August.
I'm in a size 20/22 clothes... still got my big boob's.
I want to be a size 16.. that size suits me at my age ( when l was in my 20s / 30s l was always a size 10/12.
Anyhow least l can now book my new hip operation.
Seeing my consultant next week.🤞
Good luck everyone.

I set my goal weight at 10st (started at just under 16st)

When I got there I decided to reduce it to 9st 7 to get closer to the middle of the healthy range.
Then reduced it to 9st 5 to give myself a buffer
As of this morning I'm 9st 4.6

Currently toying with the idea of aiming for 9st

I'm still on 15mg. I have a stockpile of 3 pens which I was planning using half doses of for maintenance but I'm actually finishing the suppression seems to be reducing even on 15mg so I'm not sure.

I went onto 12.5 mg
Then got Norovirus so stopped taking it for four weeks. I had to throw the pen away. I was advised to start again at 2.5mg and not save any pens

Congratulations to you all on your losses. I began in May 2024 at 19 stones and reached 15 stones yesterday, this was my initial goal. It's a very long time since I've reached a weight goal and it feels odd rather than celebratory, think I will make 13 stones my next goal which should take me a further four months or so to reach. Finding old clothes that not only fit but flatter is a particular joy and I'm pleased I held on to most of it. So much has happened since I was last this weight and I'm still taking it all in as I go along.I would sacrifice many things to ensure I can still pay for The GLP1.

Thanks everyone. I think I am good with the smaller goals and this thread has made me realise I had made more than I realised.

  1. Lose 10% of body weight - done
  2. Shave 10 off the BMI - 7 off so far
  3. Fit into a specific pair of jeans - done
  4. Get into the 14 stone zone - ages to go

I think the 15s is the lightest I remember being in the past 25 years so the 14 stone zone is a real goal, but after that who knows. I guess I will just add to the list as I go, but for now I'm too scared to even imagine it past 14 - thanks for helping me realise that's ok.

Love that list @mashingwachine ! I've got so many different ways of measuring going on that at least one has to hit a win fairly often 😂
2 stone off was the biggest but I'm also 10% off from my start weight, should hit 5 BMIs off soon, am taking measurements and Photos Of Doom with each new pen that are showing signs of improvement, my blood sugar measurements are going down.
It all deserves celebration.
