    I am 5'4" and am shooting for 130. Although, I got to 140 a couple of years ago and was pretty happy with myself for the 5 minutes that I was at that weight.

  • I was sadden to find out during my dr. appt on Tuesday that I am now 5'3". I have shrank ( shrink, shrank, shrunk) since college. I was 5'5.5". I figure the many years of carrying over 300 lbs on thes

How tall are you? Age? Build? Current weight?

Like jrabbit said how tall are u.??

My goal is 150lbs current I'm 245 I'm 5'2. I want to lose 100lbs at least. My lowest was 155 that was 14 yrs ago. I'm on my highest now. I will be sleeved in August. Good luck.!!

5'7"

Surgeons goal is 130.

I'm gonna try.... But I'm very muscular and busty and I looked damn fine at 145 (10 years ago!) so not sure if it's realistic.

But...... DOC is the EXPERT so I gotta shoot for what he tells me!

Have not set a goal yet, I just don't know where it will end, or where I want it to - maintenence is fine for me right now, mainly since I am in a stall, lol. I would probably let myself shoot for a size 8, but only if my body wants it (thats so vague, I know). Otherwise, A 12-10 is what I am aiming for by my 39th birthday - or the holidays, whenever, lol...

...The sleeve has just made me so mellow about all of this, it will happen or it will not, as long as I maintain my current weight I am OK.

I am 5'7 as well, and personally I think 130 sounds a little too low. I am shooting for 150, which should put me at about a size 8. I think 150 would be easier to maintain, I think you would have to work awfully hard to maintain a weight of 130 at your height. Just my opinion.

Good luck!

130 is that too thin?

Hi there

As others have said, not knowing your height presents us with a problem, now i just looked up the following information, hope it helps

Giraffe - 16-20 ft. tall - average weight approximately 1,800 lbs.

hope this comparison helps :D

welcome

I was sadden to find out during my dr. appt on Tuesday that I am now 5'3". I have shrank ( shrink, shrank, shrunk) since college. I was 5'5.5". I figure the many years of carrying over 300 lbs on these bones did it. Since I can't get the height back I can at least get the weight off to see 150-160 lbs so I can rock some 2 inch heels by the time I turn 45....I have 2 years! My heels for the past 5 years have been Nike walking shoes:(

I'm 5;3, 260 pounds hippy and curvy

Sorry, for some reason I thought you said you were 5'7. At your height, I think 130 is a very normal, realistic goal and not too low at all. Again, just my opinion!

Doc figured my goal as "100 pounds for the first 5' and 5 pounds for every full inch above that." Leeway is +/- 5 pounds.

At 5'5" I'll be damn pleased with anything between 130 and 140!
