As you probably know, my personal goal weight is 136 pounds. This is what I weighed prior to my two pregnancies. Once I hit 147 pounds (5 pounds away), I will weigh what I did at the start of my second pregnancy. I believe the mid-130's to be a good range for me.
However, out of curiosity, I decided to see what other websites recommended as a healthy weight (or range) for someone my size. I'm 5'6", medium frame. The results were varied, and interesting.
Weight Watchers: 124-155
Health Check Systems: 130-144
Changing Shape: 130 (ideal weight)
Halls: 118-155
Halls: 135 (ideal weight)
Met Life Tables: 133-147
Well, good night talk about confusing!! The total range here is 118-155, a range of 37 pounds. I understand they're accounting for various frames, but you can see why it's a tricky business to sort through.
Any way you slice it, I'm at the upper range of the recommendations or beyond them. I think my goal is a good one based on these numbers overall and based on my past experience being at my ideal weight. Interesting though, huh?

Well those sites sure didn't help! I've had two pregnancies as well, and here's what I figured out. Your body will pretty much tell you what it wants to weigh, and what feels good. keep eating healthy and get to a point where your exercise is stable. You'll KNOW when you're done losing weight. Sometimes I drop a few pounds and I can really feel it. I feel positively bony (maybe this is an exaggeration, but that's the word that comes to mind). When I keep my weight in a certain range, I have the right amount of energy and calorie reserves.
