360. How To Set A Good Goal Weight For Fat Loss?

Hot, Healthy, Never Hungry

On today's episode, I'm sitting down solo to answer a question we've been getting a lot inside the Hot & Healthy Community lately: how to determine a proper goal weight for fat loss.

For some women, setting a goal weight can be helpful. For others, it can quietly sabotage their fat loss efforts. That's why in this episode, I'm breaking down five best practices to help you decide whether a goal weight actually makes sense for you — and how to approach it if you choose to set one.

I'm also diving into the parameters that should guide whether a goal weight is appropriate, the research-backed numbers you can use to reality check your expectations, and how I recommend using goal weights as a tool (rather than a source of pressure) while you're actively in a fat loss phase.

By the end of this episode, you'll feel clearer and more grounded in how to set a personal goal weight for your fitness journey, and how to adjust it as your body and goals evolve.
