for you. Your goal weight should be a reasonable weight for you
to maintain and achieve ideal health.
My goal weight is lower than this range
If your goal weight is below this range, it may benefit you to be
aware of the health consequences of an extremely low body weight.
In women, a body weight that is too low may cause amenorrhea, or
lack of menses. This could cause a decrease in bone density due
to the low estrogen levels, which may increase the risk for stress
fractures, osteopenia and osteoporosis. Infertility problems may
also be a concern for women with amenorrhea. Extremely low body
weight may indicate possible nutrition deficiencies or malnutrition.
