In most cases, it's probably better to shoot for something achievable and sustainable rather than setting your sights on the "optimal" and losing hope. Once you make that initial goal, re-assess and set a new goal. Over time, you'll progress toward the optimal, and even if you never make it, you'll wind up far healthier than if you had aimed too high and quit. NCN: I think you nailed it in your comment.

I think that I should have stated it like this... "Long-term, I probably need to shoot for a weight that is more in-line with what the charts say, but my overall health and fitness would be greatly improved if I just got to, say, 200, instead of being bummed out b/c I'm not 150" I think that's what the doc was driving at... Clear as mud? :) Seth,

Granted, I am not a doctor. Take this opinion as just that - an opinion. I have been doing a lot of studying on what our target weight should look like and what I have come too is -- look at what the chart says you should be at and then add 20 pounds to be realistic. Another blogger's doctor told him that and that was the best advice that i have been able to find. Any doctor that says anything over that --- Unless you are ripped with muscle...is not doing his/her job in getting us completely healthy. That's my opinion anyways and you are welcome to toss it if you would like. Good post and good luck. I’m not so sure I completely agree with the advice that your doctor has given you.
