I originally picked the weight I was when I graduated high school, but my surgeon bumped it up because I'll have a bunch of skin left when I'm done.

I went to the BMI scale on google, looked at the weight and choose 130lbs. Then I realized that I was large boned and so I should up it to 140lbs. For some realize I am a little stubborn here. I don't want to change it. So basically, I'm still trying to lose, but if I don't I won't be devastated. I do love my skinniness! ;)

I struggle with this goal set. My dr's BMI chart says I could be 140, but I am thinking 150 or 160. I have never been smaller than 180 so this TOTALLY blows my mind.

Im 5'4" too and I started at 234. According to the charts I have looked at, 145 is my normal BMI. I am 148 right now but I hope to make my ultimate goal of 135. I made my own goal and my surgeon agreed that it was a good one. I said I wanted to make it there by my one year surgiversary (August) and my doc says he will be happy if I make it by Thanksgiving!

Same stats for me so funny!! Yes I too want to get down to 135 but my doc would be thrilled with 150 I also have F size boobs so we'll I don't wanna look funny.

My boobs are bigger in cup size now. I am a 34 E/F. I have to order them. The DD's are too small. I never dreamed that would happen! I wore a 34 C in college. I guess after kids and being fat for so long just made the cups bigger. LOL.

I am a little odd here. I had a weight loss goal of 170 or less...... Thats almost 100 pounds down from my heaviest. It is not "thin" but I am average and healthy. I wear a medium top and size 10 in pants. That is fantastic to me. I have zero loose skin at this weight. I look normal. I know that I can maintain this weight forever. Couldnt be happier.
