[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Until you hit your overweight bmi or tge upper end of healthy.[/quote]

Embarassed to ask - [b]how do I figure out OW BMI or upper end of healthy?[/b] For decades, my weight was up or down 2-4 pounds either side of 125. Running up the scales to 150+ happened over the last two years (while I had been in menopause for awhile, the weight gain, gut paunch didn't happen till more recently).

TIA.[/quote]

What is your height and current weight? You can use a BMI calculator (easily found via Google).[/quote]

Just punched the numbers and I am at the tippy top end of normal weight based on the weight loss over the last two months. Tippy top. I would prefer to be in the lower to middle range.

I just told one of my DCs - "I want to lose more as  you never know when you may end up sedentary due to an injury. I don't want to be at the top end of my range as that means I have no margins to work with."[/quote]

Eee, honestly that doesn't sound like a great plan to me, unless you are prepared to be EXTREMELY restrictive for ever, basically. Why not see if you can get to a weight that feels good, is within your normal range, and that is maintainable with a normal amount of food and normal amount of activity? This isn't like saving for retirement - you can't just stash it away for a rainy day. If you end up injured - hopefully not, but if you do - then you do what you can.
