What's your goal weight ? - I don't know how many times I've been asked this since my surgery in December 2009. I feel like saying "What do you think ? , I want to be thin again" . But instead I just keep saying .. 10 more pounds ... each time they ask, just 10 more pounds ! Because it's true .. Right now I've lost 74 lbs.. great... but I still need to lose another 140 for heavens sake ! so I can't look at that.. I just focus on the next 10 pounds ! Anyone else feel like this ?

I set my goal weight at 135 lbs. I have not been banded yet ( 4/9/10 ) but that is what i am shooting for. I am planning to try and look at it in 5lb "goals" ....baby steps. If I look at the big picture ( 126 lbs to loose ) I get freaked out

I am starting at 412. The charts say I should be 192 at the high end. My long term goal is 265 with my first goal to be under 400 by the time of the preocedure in 2.5 weeks.

I think your next 10 pounds method is great. All the small victories make for a huge victory at the end.
