IDEAL BODYWEIGHT CALCULATIONS SHARED IN THE VIDEO:

STEP 1: Calculate Lean Body Mass
First Determine Body Fat Weight With:
Body Fat Weight = Total Body Weight x Body Fat Percentage

Then:
Lean Body Mass = Total Body Weight - Body Fat Weight

STEP 2: Calculate Ideal Body Weight Based On Goal Body Fat Percentage
Goal Body Weight = Current Lean Body Mass / (1 - 0.25)

I'm 40, loss 67 pounds now down to 116 to start bulking. I have no idea where I am going to end up on my journey, but I am just going to embrace the process. ❤

[ceelo]

You’re literally the best fitness content creator on YouTube! Science based and you’re so encouraging! I rewatch your videos whenever I’m doubting myself on this journey to be more healthy especially for longevity. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and wisdom!

[AnnieIsaLau]

First, how are you 41? No way! Second, how are you 150lbs? No way! 🤣 I would have thought around 35 years old and 120lbs MAX! Apart from that, great video again! Always super informative ❤

[elizabethgridley]

I don’t really worry about the scale anymore…it’s more about the size of the clothing I’m in, and the activities I can/can’t do.

[melaniemason]

This came at a perfect time for me. I did the calculations and technically my ideal weight based on my LBM would be slap bang in the middle of overweight using BMI, however I am naturally muscular and weight training on top of that. Thanks so much for the peace of mind and direction- I now know a rough end goal 🥰

[samanthaerin]

You must be psychic because this is not the first time you've released a video on the exact same topic that I am haviing anxiety on, it's odd but aippreciated, thank you!

[tracyc]

First, you look amazing, Michelle. Second, i wish I'd seen this video 8 years ago, i wanted to loose that last 10lbs so did keto/intermittent fasting which worked and i loved it but i did it for too long and lost muscle and recked my metabolism and then hit 50 went into menopause and gained it all back plus extra 10 more lbs..
Everything you talked about is so true..im 54 now and working slowly at it and doing everything you're talking about, and im seeing results... Thank u for your honest, yet wise videos❤

[christineramsey]

freaking helpful!! THANK YOU!!! It adjusted my goal weight I'm shooting for, but rather focusing on hitting my goal body fat %. So much more healthy!! Great, relevant and with specifics. Awesome!!

[daireanthony]

This is so timely - I've currently lost 82 lbs from my highest weight and have been trying to figure out the healthiest goal weight for me since I'm also trying to build muscle. So helpful, thank you!

[janicecrim]

Excellent video!! I always get great info from you. I love your healthy perspective on women's bodies.

[wendy__lake]

You’re the best! Always common sense info which I appreciate! It’s obvious you have worked with a lot of women lol! Thank you for being the voice that speaks the truth!

[biancapool]

Oooh WOW!! Instilling me with some instant new found motivation and much needed surety!

Did my calculation and ended up with 75kg vs what normal girl with my height should be 65kg... And this feels soooo freaken doable and realistic at my stage of journey and for my body build and everything.

I've been basically been stuck between 80-85kgs for the last year now (given i started at 107kg 2.5 years ago). I still maintain my fitness levels and hit the gym everyday and eat right 80% of the time. But lost some believe in myself because scale not moving for so long even thou clothes sit better and get compliments of how I look. I know I'm lacking on some food discipline to break this platu I'm in.

You have given me so much tools, advice and learned skills over the years and it never failed.

This video is just gold for me, learning something new and having seen an calculation confirming it.

Thank you for even existing! Michelle, you are truly the best!

[leslie-anneblake]

I don’t have a question but a THANK YOU!
I struggle with that number on the scale every day. I track everything you mentioned food, exercise, lifestyle etc. Yes people generally say I look great( although another 5 lbs of fat from my body wouldn’t hurt-this is my inner voice) at 58 it’s hard to ditch the last of it! Menopause sucks and I feel like I am in a battle with that part especially!
Thank you sooo much for your reassurance and I will watch the body fat video! I have subscribed too!

[laurelchee]

This is your best video. Such an important message! ❤

[tammytdt]

Thank you for this video! I have been trying to find this calculation for ideal body weight!

[karenmckenzie]

This is everything. Thanks Michelle. ❤

[lorifl]

Thank you for this very informative video Michelle!!

[dorzhowe]

Thanks Michelle, I really enjoy your videos. Great to see your subscribers growing.

[wildaboutalaska]

Thank you! I needed to hear this today.

[cbear]

Thank you for all of your helpful videos, Michelle! I’ve been on a body recomp journey since last November and it’s such a slower process than traditional weight loss that sometimes I feel defeated and want to fall back into old bad habits (ie the quick fixes that never last), but your videos motivate me to stay on track and trust the process. That said I feel like I’m currently at a standstill with progress and I’m 2% away from my goal body-fat %. It’s like my body is comfortable at the weight it is and doesn’t want to let go of anything else lol. In your experience what helps achieve that last few pounds of fat loss? Is it mostly diet, is it mostly weight training, or a combo of both? Might be something to discuss in a future video! Thanks again!
