Your GLP-1 Program · Your range
Your healthy weight range. More than one number.
Weight charts give everyone the same cutoffs. A healthy range for you also depends on how you feel and function, your labs, your body composition, and what you can keep up for life. Answer what you can; anything you don't know yet becomes a question for your next visit.
Everything stays on this device. Nothing is sent to us or saved anywhere else.
The basics
Your height sets the starting band. Age matters too: the evidence for older adults favors a somewhat higher range.
Shows as a red line on the band. Skip it if you'd rather not.
How you feel, look and play
Think about times, now or in the past, when you had good energy, felt comfortable in your body and could do the things you enjoy.
Shows as a blue dot. A rough number is fine.
Metabolic health
Blood sugar, cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, and liver and kidney tests show whether a weight is healthy for your body.
Body composition
Two people at the same weight can carry very different amounts of muscle and fat. A body-composition scan, such as DEXA, measures both.
Body image
This is about confidence, not a look to chase. Many people find their comfort weight is higher than the number they once aimed for.
Sustainability
“What weight will excite me to not only achieve, but also maintain for a lifetime?” A weight you can only hold by constant restriction isn't a healthy target.

What you still need to narrow your range, plus your saved ranges over time. Revisit every three months.
Educational only, not medical advice. BMI and body-fat ranges are population guides, used here as starting points rather than diagnoses. Ranges are based on the CDC/WHO adult BMI categories, Winter et al. (Am J Clin Nutr 2014) for adults 65 and older, and Dr. Rutledge's “A Better Way to Determine Your Ideal Weight” (Psychology Today, 2025). Talk with your prescriber or care team about what's right for you.
