I looked at the 'appropriate' weight for my age/height, and then added about 20 pounds, because I want my goal to be something I can attain and maintain. Like others have also indicated - it's a starting point that we can adjust if needed. I wanted my goal weight to be a challenge (LOL - like having over 100 pounds to lose ISN'T enough of a challenge), but also something I feel I can do. I wanted to believe, from the very beginning, that I could hit that goal eventually. If I went with what I'm 'supposed' to weigh, I think I would have started out already slightly discouraged that my goal was not attainable. Good luck, and welcome!!!
