I started my weight loss journey earlier this year and have so far lost 5 stone with a bit more still to go by my bmi. I have had a lot of comments about having lost enough now and I just wondered how others set their targets? My bmi is at 27 so still classed as overweight and I am only aiming for 24.9.

I focused on target body fat percentage and calculated how much body fat I needed to achieve my body fat percentage target. Assumed bones weighed about 3kg.

BMI doesn't work for me as I'm muscular.
