What Is Your Goal Weight ?!



Recommended Posts

Just curious as to what everyone's goal weight and size is ?! and how tall you are and your age <3

My surgeons goal weight is from 105-112-_- I personally think I will look sickly at that weight so I made my own personal goal of nothing bigger then a size 9 and a weight of 125 <3 I am 21 and stand at 5'4

I am 5'1" and my goal weight is 120. I used to be a size 10 when I was younger, but I really don't care about the size as long as I am healthy.

I'm 5'5" and my doctor's goal is 120 but I'm thinking 130-140. Why do they go so low?

Goal weight is 130-140. My surgeon said because of my body comp, I will look very skinny already at 165ish. When I'm around that weight I'm probably a size 8. But I'm going to prove them wrong. Average Weight for my height to be at a normal weight is 132. So that's what I'm aiming for. I'm 24 years old. I'm 10 days post op and have lost 15 lbs as of this mornings weigh in. I was 232 preop. I'm 5"5. Good luck with your surgery btw! Hope everything goes smoothly for you:)

Sizes vary so much. I'm 5'0" and currently 153 and can wear a 6 from American Eagle another pair of pants that I used to have same exact pants pre surg in a 12 I found them in a 4 at a resale place but they still had tags and they fit great! I have a pair of shorts that a jr's 9 from jcp and I can get them on but to button them would be uncomfortable until I lose about 8 more pounds I'm sure. So that said I'd like to get to 130 ish and whatever size that may be!! O ya I'm 42. Forgot that part!

I'm tall for a female 6ft. My starting weight was just over 400 so i set my first real goal at getting to 199, Doctor told me that was a good place to start.Getting to 174 will put me in the normal range, so once i get below 200 i will decided how much loser i want to go. Right now I would be happy to get to a size 16.I am 33.

I'm also 6ft tall. My starting weight was 298. My goal is 165ish, although I'm not sure that's possible. I have been at 170/size 12. I would like to be a bit less. I'm hoping for a size 10. My starting size is 22/24. 175 is generally considered my target.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
