Why can't I select the goal weight I want?

You will notice that the drop down list of goal weights also shows what percentage weight loss this constitutes in brackets. The system doesn't allow you to select more than 20% weight loss in one go – hence why you can't go lower as this is the maximum. Once you start losing weight, the drop down will allow you reset your target to be a lower amount.

When entering your weight loss target, we recommend that you set smaller steps of either of 10% or half a stone rather than going for the full amount. This is far more motivating that just focusing on a final goal weight which can seem a distant and daunting challenge, particularly if you have a lot of weight to lose.

When you reach a weight loss milestone of 10%, we recommend that you go back and update your Profile. (It doesn't update automatically because many members prefer to be in control of when they change it). To reset your target:

In the app

Go to Progress > Edit > green RESET button.

On the website

Go to Profile > Personal details, then manually enter your new starting weight and click the green + Update button at the bottom the page.
