A subject we discussed previously, but worthy of bringing up again is the concept of setting realistic weight loss goals. "The charts" seem to always tell us that the weight appropriate for our height is an alarmingly low number. Furthermore, we tend to think back to the days in our 20's or 30's when we weighted a svelte weight and strive to reach that level again.
Certainly, as time progresses, it becomes more difficult to lose weight and maintain a very strict low number. Our metabolism and body type changes over time and what was once a "good" weight for us becomes a number which is truly not realistic. Moreover, aesthetically, I am not certain that we would like the "look" we have now that we had 30 years ago.
As you think about your weight loss goals, pick a goal which is realistic and also reasonable to maintain. If you ever want an objective opinion as to what would be a "good" goal for you, please stop by to say "hi" and we can provide you with an opinion. This, of course is free of charge.
