When someone goes on a diet, they usually have an ideal weight in mind-which is great. But there are still questions that the prospect must answer before setting a realistic goal.

? Do you want to lose a few pounds or do you want to totally transform the way you look?

? What is your ideal weight is?

? How much weight do you have to lose to get to reach your goal weight or totally transform your figure?

? Ideally what would you like to weigh?

Relax - it’s not as harsh as it sounds. And, you shouldn’t let the number bother you. It’s a number, just like any other, and it doesn’t define you.

Women are constantly bombarded with images of “Skinny Minnie” Hollywood celebs, in gorgeous gowns, on the red carpet-or frolicking along the beach in Mauritius in a shoestring bikinis-and they see how someone like Susan Lucci, who’s only 5′2″ and 95 pounds, is very different from someone like Tyra Banks, an equally beautiful woman, at 5′10″, who weighs anywhere from 150 - 166 pounds.

Sure, weighing 95 pounds like Suzy would be amazing, but not if it means you’re going to look like “Skeletor”.

Then there is the notion of what’s considered average. While magazines might try to convince you that being stick thin is normal, the average height and weight of women in America is 5′3″ and 163 pounds-far from being string bean Tina.

Your body shape is also a big factor. If you’re a juicy pear shape, then no amount of weight loss is going to change that-unless you add weight training to you workout routine.

The same goes for women who are large on top and thin on the bottom, along with women who have curvier silhouettes. It’s important to be realistic in your weight loss goals, and find the ideal weight that’s right for you.

You have to understand that more will have to be done if you really want to change your body shape.

Healthy living is ideal, no matter what your weight is. If you are experiencing health problems because of your weight, then it’s time to get those pounds off!

Your ideal weight is a worthy goal.

Reach out.

And grab it now.

And let’s not forget about those funky little charts that everyone uses as the measuring stick for weight loss. Ideal weight charts have three different categories: small, medium, and large frames.

Within each category, there is a weight range of between 15 and 20 pounds. That’s quite a variation, but don’t let it bother you.

While there are charts and graphs and tables that can tell you what your ideal weight should be, a better idea is to take a good, long look in the mirror.

An honest assessment of how your body really is can tell you loads more than any ideal weight chart can about how much weight you should lose.

Figure that out and you will reach you goal in no time.
