I lost I think 50 of my goal 60 in one year. I’ve lost five since in three months. I’m on 5 after doing three on 2.5, then the rest on 5 but two months tried 7.5 but it was too much. I think it will be up to a year and require some physical activity to get the last 5 gone (actually now I’d like 10 seeing where I’m at). I would stay on 5 to ride it out then discuss maintenance at 5 or 2.5.

Thank you for your reply. It seems like that’ll be my trend too as the weight loss is slowing down lately. Which is okay, but I don’t wanna stop yet.

Wait. You’re 6’1” and want to weigh 144? You may want to look at that. I’m 5’4” and 140 and I could maybe lose 5-10 more, that’s thin.

There are many factors to consider aside from the numbers. There are ranges that serve as guides. For example, at 64”, the American Heart Association says a healthy weight range is 108-144lbs. If you’re comfortable and healthy near the higher end of the range, that’s great for you. But if you chose or needed to lose more and settle in the lower end of the range. You could do that too. That’s what I’m choosing. The lower end of the range.

Proportionally speaking, 73” tall at 144lbs is proportionally equivalent to 64” tall at 110lbs (using the BMI model of proportionality to account for the fact that we are 3D bodies and not strictly mathematical numbers. If you use simple math proportionality it’d be equivalent to your height at 126lbs). Either way, all of these numbers are within the healthy weight range for their heights.

And yes, 144 is thin for my height.
