I'm 5'5" 1/2, my original goal weight was 175. I'm a curvy girl. But I'm thinking that might not be good enough now. Idk. I weight 195 right now, 4 months out. I was just wondering what your goal weight was? I have a medium frame.

I am 5'4 with a wide rib cage. I am getting my surgery Thursday and right now my ideal goal weight is 165. So it seems like yours may be similar based on our height. I honestly hope I can be satisfied with my success and when I'm healthy enjoy it. In the past I have lost a lot of weight and never felt it was enough until I gained it all back. Now I see how good I looked then. This time I want to enjoy my healthy body every step of the way! Good luck to you! Hope whatever weight you choose is a healthy you:)

5'5" I want to weigh between 150 and160.

5"4 I want to be 150- 155

I posted this same question when i was starting out and did not hear from anyone far out from surgery. I hope this helps and/or motivates you.

I'm 5'5" with a large frame and am down to 146lbs. My original goal was 135, but feel its way too small so I moved it to 140. I wear a size 6 and have 6 more lbs to go.

SW: 243.6

Surgery 3/13/12

I hope to make goal by my anniversary.

What I have learned over these last 10 months is that everyone's body is so different that you can't base your goal on anyone else your same height. You can definitely ball park it and use it as a guide, but your goal will change several times as you near the end and see your body change. This is going to come off as bragging and this is not my intention, but its important to share so you can understand what I mean. People tell me I'm too skinny and are shocked to learn I weigh 146 lbs. The perception of size other people have is that I'm in my 120's. I just happen to hold my weight evenly across my body so 146 on me, may not look like 146 on someone who carries it all in their gut. This is why your goal may change as you get closer to the end of your weight loss. You may need to lose a little more or less depending on your body type, not just height.

One more thing, I run a lot, but have not incorporated weight training yet into my regimine. I anticipate my weight to go up a bit from 140 with some added muscle mass or maybe I'll lose a little more and gain muscle. Who knows? This is all so new to me still.

I hope this was helpful and good luck in your journey.

Im 5"4, weigh 265, hope to get around 150-160

I'm 5'4" and want to be under 150. I don't care how far under, just under 150.

I'm 5"4 and my goal is 145. However I would be happy at 165-170 lol

I'm 5'5 1/2" and my original goal was 170 but I changed it to 155. I'm bouncing around 186-189 right now and have quite a bit more to lose in my stomach and thighs.

Check a BMI chart, too.

One suggested estimate is 100 lbs for 5' tall, add 5 lbs for every inch over 5'.

That would be 120 lbs for 5'4" and 125 lbs for 5'5".

I'm 5' 4.5" and my nutritionist's goal for me is 160. I started at 298.

I'm fine with a goal of 160, but have also set a "dream" goal of 145, if it seems attainable. The thinnest I've been as an adult was around 165 and I was a size 8/10. I was good with that, but also wouldn't mind being a 6/8 or a solid 8.

Hi

I'm 5'5 1/2 and weight is 257. My Surgeon's goal is 170lbs. But I want to loose more at around to 150lb at least.

Get down to 150lbs

I am 5"5' 1/2 and my original goal was 170 but I'm changing it to 160. The reason I choose 160 was I never looked "right" as a skinny chick. I love my curves, having boobs and an ass. I think it would make me unhappier being too skinny than being thick. I love being right in the middle. I am squeezing into a size 18 pre op and post op I'm almost nicely fitting into a size 18/3x/2x with almost 20lbs lost 2 weeks post op. i'll be happy with a size 11 and wearing large shirts. My main goal is to be healthy and out of way for diabetes high blood pressure and all those not so nice co morbidities. Looking good to me is just a nice little perk I'm going to enjoy !!!!

Hi I noticed you said you lost 20lbs 2weeks post op. I am getting sleeved tomorrow. Kind of nice to hear about your weight loss. Has is been steady or have you got slow points? Are you just walking or lifting weights too? The thought of being 170 sounds so good and eventually 150 would be even better. Good luck everyone!

This thread has been very eye opening for me.

At 5'3" my goal weight is 115 lbs. I don't know what that will look like, but I'm halfway there from my pre-op weight. Right now I weigh 163 and am just under "obese" and am now classified at the high end of "overweight" on a BMI chart.

These weights that the 5'4" and 5'5' members are giving sound really high to me. Yes, I know everyone is different and don't carry their weight the same way, have different builds, etc. Still, this is really interesting and intrigues me. I'm not judging anyone at all. Its just that my perceptions have been jostled and I am pondering a few things, especially how I personally view what I think would be healthy or not healthy for me.
