I am 5'7 currently I weigh 193. Suggested weight is between 123 to 149.

Have you set yourself at the low end, high in or the middle?

I have met my first goal, but have yet to set an exact number. i'm thinking middle so I give my self some wiggle room.

So anyway do you have an exact number in mind and what made you choose it?

I am 5'7" and on surgery day 10 months ago I weighed 262 lbs. My doctor's goal for me was 169 but my goal was 160. Today I weighed in at 152. I wear a size 8, 6, or 4 depending on the brand. I am pretty happy with my weight right now as i am in a normal bmi and off meds, but if I lose more that will be a bonus.

You ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Jen79co. That makes me feel so good!

My doctor said that he would like to see me at 160, im 5'71/2" (I think I shrunk and inch i used to be 5'8") But he would be ok with me at 152 or so. I would love to get down to a size 8. I think that will be my goal. Some people are posting their sizes that they are right now and I saw someone that was a size 12 and they were 5'7" and weighed 193. They must be really small on the bottom. When I weighed in the 190's I was a size 14-16, but I tend to be kinda heavy in the thighs. I am at 12-14 at 180 and 10-12 at 160. Or was in the past anyway. Wonder what it will be now?? I am hoping that 150 or so will put me at an 8-10 depending on the clothes. I will be extremely happy with a 10 though

I started off at 262-264 and my official goal is 142-144 pounds for an even120 pound weight loss.

My first goal was to get below 200. That goal has been obtained, now if I could just get down to 142-144 I would be happy.

I'm 5'3". My ideal weight is somewhere between 105-140, I think. (I had a hard time figuring it out)

My goal weight is 140. I weighed 115 in high school and went up and down from 150-180 for a lot of my adult life.

I would be THRILLED to weigh 140!

I was just banded on 03/23. I can't wait to see where I go from here.

I'm 5'9 and set a goal of 165. Four to 5 years ago I lost a ton of weight, got down to 178 and was wearing a size 12. Like most of you, I would love to cut up the LB card and never look back. Whatever weight puts me in a comfy size 12 (now that I'm older) I'll be happy.

My goal weight is somewhere between 150-165. I will be happy there! I am so close... I have a about 30 lbs left to get to the high end of my goal! I am really loving my band!

I'll be glad when I start loving my band...right now I am feeling horrible, but I know it's because I am just 2 days out of surgery. Gas and burping is the name of the game now....lol I am struggling to get down the required fluids.....hopefully, it will get better day by day. Congrats, I know you will get those last 30 pounds off.

My goal is between 145-150 according to my age, frame, and height. I really just want to be healthy and able to manage my back pain a little bit better. I had two back surgeries and I stand on my feet all day, which is an uncomfortable feeling. I just want to wake and enjoy the day without having all this pain in my back.

My goal isn't so much the number on the scale, but I would like to be able to wear a size 6 or 8 clothes. At 5'1" I think getting down to a single digit pant size would make me look much better. Not to mention how much better I will feel. I have gone from a size 20 and am currently wearing 12's, but I'm happy to report some of the 12's are getting loose. Good luck to all!

I would be thrilled just to reach and stay in ONEDERLAND>

Starting to seem impossible tho. I know it isnt

With my Height my doctor would like for me to be around 165 but my goal weight is 200.

I have 2 goals. My first goal is to be at 170lbs by July 5th for my brother's wedding and my second goal is to be at 130lbs by November 6th - My 32nd birthday! I fell off the wagon over spring break but I'm back on track working out 4 - 5 times a week and I also start coaching soccer again. Good luck to everyone!
