What's your goal weight?



Recommended Posts

I am 5'4 and my goal is 135-140. I am currently at 189 and people are asking me if I am done losing?? WTH? Umm....noooo' date=' I'm not. Goodness, I'm pretty sure I am still considered obese at this point. I have found it is better to sometimes to just ignore all those other people's voices![/quote']

I try not to listen to what other people think about what they think I should be at. My doctors initial goal was 160 /164, which would put me at the top if my bmi. I waiver between 169/172 for more than 9 months now. I wear size 8/10. Everyone says that I should be done losing now and that I am skinny enough.

I think skinny is a strong word and I am far from that. But I think my body might be done losing, although I haven't tried all that hard to lose the last few pounds. I am extremely happy were I am at, but it would be nice to say I officially met my goal weight. I did make my size goal though :-)

5'8" 164 goal, 240 start, 170 current

Didn't gain during xmas!!!! Woohoo

Surgeon told me with height and age, body build....my goal weight is 154...I'm 5.5 tall. 45 years old. I went from 276 down to 162...a good 8-10 pounds to go.

I have a lot of short term goals to get thru before my big goal. I started at 250. My first goal I gave myself was to get to 230 which was my weight I was prior to surgery cause I had to gain weight to qualify. I am currently at 225 1 1/2 months later. My next goal is 212. Which was the lowest weight I was at last year. After I hit that goal its 199. Me and bestie are throwing a party cause I got below the 200's. My final weight I would like to stay at goes between 160-170. Im 5'7" my smallest ever was 130 and looking back that was to skinny for me.

Hynita, when u say 50% of your body weight, did the doctor mean 50% of the weight you had to lose or 50% of your starting weight?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
