[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I picked a weight that was smack dab in the middle of a normal BMI for my height. Once I got close, I could see how much of the weight remaining was muscle versus fat. Then I find tuned my goal based on that.[/quote] I just did this and it did not work for me, made me too skinny.[/quote] I'm too skinny at a normal BMI, too. At 6 feet and 196 pounds, I'd need to lose 12 pounds to hit a normal BMI (ie under 25). I'm 20 pounds overweight on a height/weight chart. However, I run a lot and I look really lean at that weight (like a runner). My body fat percentage was 22-23%. That's well within the fitness range. BMI can a rough guide, but I wouldn't use it for a goal. Get a body fat measurement and use that to set goals. Scales lie. They can tell you your weight, but they don't tell you how much of that weight is fat or how fit you are. [/quote]
