Hmmmm - Need a Goal Weight

biggrin.gif So I was banded June, 2010 and I had a potential goal in mind before I was banded, but the PA in the office said my goal of 140 was probably too low, so he recommended 160 as a healthy goal. I started at 263 and I am now 176 and starting to think that 160 may not be low enough... I am in a size 10 and I was never looking to be a size 2 - I just want to look good. I am also headed for my TT and I know that some pounds may come off then depending on how much fat rather than just skin is cut off.

I am 5'7" and medium build - if I look around on the 'net there are different ideal weights depending on what site I look at so I am looking to this community to help me have a more concrete goal. Any ideas??
