Goal Weight

[YangYang]

I am a WW member and am confused about goal weights. I have talked to my leader who basically asked me what I wanted my goal to be and said "then that's it". I think that because I have lost so much weight, she doesn't want me to feel pressured by a goal. I talked to a friend who attends a different meeting (different leader) and her goal weight is 9 pounds less than mine although she is an inch taller. Also, no one has written my goal weight down anywhere, so how will they know when I reach it? I am 11 pounds away from it now, so I'm getting a little anxious. BTW I am 5'9" and my goal weight is 169.

You know I've been wondering what my goal weight is too. When I weigh in they never ask me nor tell me what I want or should weigh. At my last weigh in the leader did say I should start thinking about my goal weight.

Okay, I'm thinking but I don't know what it should be. Is it supposed to be a number I am comfortable with and can maintain or a number decided by them based on a chart. I am now at 137 and I'm 5' 4".

I weigh in tomorrow (weather permitting, darn snow!) and I will ask more about goal weigh then.

Here's what I know (not much )

When I first joined WW in August, they asked my height and I was told then that I should be between 116 and 145 pounds. Once I get closer (I'm at 165 now) I can pick any number between there that I think I can maintain. Say I pick 140.... I can not gain more than 2 pounds (142) or I will have to pay again.

Make sense?
