Im 5'10.5 and have been debating over a goal weight. My doctor won't set one but I want a main goal. So I'm asking what is your weight goal being as tall as you are? I want to look good but not skin and bones. I had set it at 157 but everyone says I will look sick. So I don't know now.

I am 5'10. Set goal weight of 170. People/ friends will always say you look sickly as you loose weight. I have dieted my entire life and got down to 190 two years ago. Everyone at work said I looked so sick! I have a new outlook this time and have no willingness to listen to anyone not possitive. They will just have to get use to the new you!

I'm 5'10". My Dr. thinks 175 is a good weight. I'm shooting for 160 so if I gain some back it will even out. I was 138 at my thinnest and stayed between 150-165 for about 15 years. 138 was ridiculous but at 160 I was a size eight and felt great. Right now I can't even imagine being in onederland! I think a lot depends on body type, too. I have broad shoulders and hips and really am "big boned " so even at 140 I was a size six. I'll be happy if I stay in the 175 range and my cholesterol and triglycerides come down.

I set mine at 150 and I'm 5'8". I don't think I've weighed that since I was like 2. is seriously be very happy at 170-180. When I dusted once before I hit 190, and felt good!

Go to WWW.healthdiscovery.com. there is a calculator to find ideal weight. Kinda neat

Thank you so much for your responses. It has helped a lot. I've learned not to listen to everyone but its weird seeing bones I haven't seen in many years and then people point out I am getting to boney. I'm at 214 and when you tell people that I still have a ways to go yet they look at you like you're nuts. Lol. I can't even remember the last time I was this small and yet I will only get smaller.

I'm 5'10" my doctor and I didn't set a goal weight. At this point I would like to get down to 200 and see how I feel. If 180 or 190 or lower is right I'll decide then. I am not a small person at all, wide shoulders and hips so don't want to go too low.

Statistically speaking, rny patients lose 75-85% of excess weight.

At 5'10.5 you'd be at a healthy BMI from about 142-175....seriously 142 at your height sounds TINY!!!!!!

Being 5'9" my goal is 170-175. I was a size 10/11 last time I was that small. Big boned, wide shoulders and hips here too. I would not be upset if I end up at 160-165 though. Who knows, maybe I will end up at the low end of the charts for my height.

When I lost weight year ago and was 198 size 12/14 people said I look to thin

I'm Ianthe 240's and have 80 lbs to go and people don't believe it when I tell them this.

I'm so glad you asked this question! I'm 5'11 and my doctor did not give me a goal weight either. He simply said I would level out at the weight my body needed to be at. I am just over one year post OP and I am down to 208lbs. I'd like to be about 180lbs I think.

142 does sound crazy and I would be tiny.
