I'm 5'2 and my goal is 140... I will say though, that I cannot imagine ever getting there. That's what I weighed in high school, and it just seems like a pipe dream. I've maintained 175 in my adult life for a few years and thought I looked fantastic, so if I didn't get below that I'd be ok. But I'll try for 140 and see how it goes.

I'm 5' 6" and my goal is about 160-165, but really anything under 200 would make me extremely happy.

I'm the same way!!

I'm 5'4 and my goal that my doctor is cool with is just under 170. For my build, 165-170 puts me in a 10/12. If I lose more, so be it, but I'm happy in a 10/12. If your profile image is you, make sure to stick with sizes and body fat % as there have been a few studies that show BMI isn't an accurate measurement for black women. We tend to have less fat that women of other ethnicities.

Good luck!

You should check out my body project. It has real pictures real women have submitted of themselves. You can search weight, height, pant size and body shape at once. Just Google it. I spend hours on it, its addictive

I'm 5"3, my original goal weight was 145 but I think that's still considered overweight for me but I'd be totally happy. Right now I'm 191, started art 238 at pre-op liquid.< /p>

I'm 5"2.5 and my goal is 160!!! looking at you much taller folks (taller than me anyway!) it feels like i should reconsider' date=' but i was happy at this weight before! my doc has set no weight goals for me...[/quote']

Yeah I'm 5'1" and my goal is 160 maybe that's too high but I don't remember anything under 200 really so I'll get down to my goal and then go from there.

I agree with you lol I would love to fit in a size 9/10.. I'm 5'3 and I just set small weightless goals for my self. My 1st one is 50lbs. Then 25lbs more. So the last 10 won't seem like a burden. I'm 18lbs from my 1st goal..

Hi guys;)

I'm 5'1, currently 145 goal is 115.

I have a very small frame about 120-115 is perfect for me!

I'm 5'6" and have a goal of 150, which would put me in a size 10. Less than that would be wonderful, but I need to see what's going to be realistically maintainable. I told my doc that I'd do a naked cartwheel if I ever got to 140 and he laughed and said be careful what you wish for!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
