Here’s How Much You Should Actually Weigh
And the dangers of aspiring toward any number less.
If you haven’t said it yourself, you’ve likely heard someone make a comment like, “Only 12 more pounds to go before I reach my goal weight.”
Ah, the almighty goal weight.
It’s a number most everyone seeking to shed some pounds has in mind. But, of all the numbers one could pick, why that very one?
Many link it back to a time in life when they’ve felt their most attractive.
