I'm curious, did your doc give you the goal of 130? I'm 5' as well and my goal is 110. My first doc wanted me to shoot for 105.

4'10 here and at 200 lbs pre-op. NUT said 113-125 for someone with a medium to large frame person my height. For a small framed person it's more like 96-104! I'm about a medium frame so I'm shooting for 120'ish.

My doc gave me 130 as well- I'm 4'11.5". I have a rather large body frame for being so short. I'm rather muscular as well. I was 135 in high school with very little excess fat- I know it was 20% or less. I doubt I will have that much muscle now- so I'm going with 130.

Hi iggychic! That's my personal goal because I was at 130 before having my kids. But I would be ecstatic if I go lower than that

That was my goal the dr told me 125-128 i'm also medium build also I really don't want to be to skinny and look anorexic or sick. I feel so good I'm doing things I never thought I could do and Zumba is my addiction now.

I posted a picture today of before & after so far

I'm glad ya'll are doing so well and I'll go look at that pic

But FYI...just in case you go lower and it freaks you out LOL I was 108 just ten years ago and I am also a medium build but I was never skinny or anorexic looking. I have a big bumm and boobs even at that weight, so lots of curves At 100 or less I do get too thin....I don't feel good at that weight and it's impossible to maintain for me. I just wanted to share because sometimes we set goals and our body sets other goals, so don't freak out if you keep losing....just wait to buy your new wardrobe til you are really done LOL

Where did you post it at?

It's title is 1st pic post.

Thanks iggychic for your info, I do have big boobs and I had a bottom but its long gone now. Lol

I'm 5'4". Almost. Dr goal was 147, I reached that at 6 mo. At 9. Mo I was below that. Now at 11 months. I'm am 130-135. With no change in how clothes fit. I never wore size 2 before. Woohoo
