What Is Goal Weight?
A goal weight is a chosen body-weight target used for planning and progress tracking. One simple way to create a reference target is to select a BMI value and convert it to the corresponding weight for your height.
This tool does not tell you what your personal medical target “should” be; it simply translates the BMI target you choose into weight.
Formula / Method Used
Goal weight = target BMI × height² (m²).
