I am 5'4 and I started at 218 three and a half months out. The doctor said about 160 for my final weight.I was hoping for 130 something. Am I being realistic?

I started out at 223 and I am at 188 now. My goal is to reach at least 140. If I get any lower than that....woohoo!!! But if I maintain that then I am happy.

Good Luck!!:biggrin1:

Ladysplenda -- I think your signature should read your surgery date as 12/1/2005 not 2006. Unless of course I've forgotten what year it is again!

OOPS my bad sorry. Thank you for all the post. My daughter(18) is having Surgery Thursday.My mind is on her.

I started out at 217 and I'm 5'4" so we are very close in stats. I'm at 166 right now and my goal is 140. Then I'm getting myself a tummy tuck and lypo to get down to 130 or so - woooohoooo!

I don't think you're being unrealistic at all. Your goal should be what makes YOU feel your best, not your doc. Good luck!

I started out at 226 and I am now down to 176. Weight loss has stopped and it is killing me!!! I need to get back on the band wagon and work harder. Good to you on the rest of your weight loss adventure.
