What Goal Weight?

[Randgalt 43]

I'm at the early stages of my VSG adventure. When I joined this forum I set up a ticker and was deciding on my goal weight. How did others here choose a goal weight? Is it a weight you'd be happy with? Is it your ideal (based on BMI) weight? Is it your high school weight? What's realistic? In high school I was 150 and would be thrilled to hit that. I chose 160 as I'd be very happy there. According to the standard BMI charts I should be 140 - I don't think I was ever that thin in high school.

My goal was set by my doctor. He asked asked me what weight I thought would be good for me and he took 10 lbs from that. Also he wanted me to have a normal BMI.

E-girl- You look stunning in your before and after pics.

I weighed about 140 in high school until I got on depo and gained 40 lbs and this was what started my weight issues from that moment on. When I was 140 I was a size 9/10 and that's a good size for me considering that I have wide hips. If I can get somewhere in between 120-140 that would be great. Oh and I'm 5'3 3/4, almost 5'4

According to my body type and height, 135-145 is a good weight for me so that is my goal. I haven't been that weight since junior high.lol I was asked by the psych what my "ideal" weight was and that was what I told her..she said that was good so I'm sticking with it.
