I am 5' 10" and am shooting for 170. I lost a lot of weight 10 years ago and got down to 155, my high school weight. Looking at pictures now, I was too thin. I think that as you age (I am 45 now), being too thin can make you look gaunt and older as you lose the softness in your cheeks. In any case, anything is better that 314 pounds!

5'10" and my goal is 175#. I think that will look good and still give me some curves.

I'm 5'9" and I had set my 1st personal goal at 220lbs and my second at 170, but am flexible. The nutritionist set my weight for 177 lbs but measured me at 5'8" for some reason but I know that's wrong. I plan on seeing how I feel as I get to each weight. I have yo-yoed through the years and blew UP once I started nursing school and never went back. I've seen myself at a lot of weights and hope I don't go into/below 160s. For my frame it's a bit thin and my hip bones start sticking out and people started questioning what was up (people don't know if they want you fat or thin). Everyones version of thin is relative and my boy also doesn't care for it. I guess I'll see what happens {)i(} Sent from my iPhone using VST {)i(}

Wanted to update my Glamazon girls!! I'm 2lbs away from my 1st goal of 220 and feeling great! I'm still 5'9" (I was 5'10" since high school) but next time I go to the doc, I'm going to have them do it again. Although people calling me "skinny" I think is ridiculous. I'm trying to adjust to the change in how people treat you (it's very strange sometimes) and I don't like people commenting on my body or looking me up and down. I just want them to accept that I'm different now (this is the people that have known me for the past 6-7 years because to the people that have known me for a long time the fat me was abnormal). I'm going to be leaving my job in a few weeks and moving to a different area in May which was always the plan anyway in to be near my love, advance as far as my career, and hopefully start a family next year :)

I am 5'10 (30 years old) and shooting for about 140s. SW 280. Its a lofty goal but I won't to be on the lighter side of my range just to give myself a buffer in case a few lbs get added back on a few years out. I have never been under 200 my adult life in fact I think I first weighed in at 200 in middle school so I am not even sure what it would be like for me to be in the 100s. I guess if I look like Skeletor at 150 I will feel comfortable with that but only time will tell. Great post by the way!

Hey ladies!

Forgot all about this thread! Everyone is looking and doing great! I'm in a funk of a mood today, so I'm about to slightly hijack this thread. In need of some gals like me to weigh in... I promise, I'll revert back to our regularly scheduled show after this tangent :)

I'm about 20 pounds from goal of 165 (5'10). I've upped my calories to about 1,250/day (gradually did this over a 2-3 month period). Curious, how many calories is everyone else getting in while still trying to lose? I'm still losing about a pound a week, but am nervous I may have jumped the gun on increasing calories. I've developed a love for lifting heavy weights (feels so strange that I just typed that LOL), so I know I need some fuel to get me through my workouts without going down!

When I started this journey I told myself I would stop when I got to a size 10. Welp, I'm officially here (rocking some new Ann Taylor size 10 slacks today YAY) but I'm still not happy to be honest. Recently I've been struggling with accepting/dealing with what I've done to my body as a result of getting so heavy (wonky skin, lower stomach that could scare the boogie man, inner thigh horror, etc.). In clothes I'm fairly happy, but GOD FORBID I catch a glimpse of myself after just getting out of the shower or otherwise naked. Anxiety, tears, dozens of texts to my mom, etc. ensues (I'm so totally dramatic, I know). Anyone else struggle with this? I try to remind myself everyday that this is a marathon and not a sprint, but hot damn this is getting exhausting LOL!

SW: 288

CW (in picture): 187

GW: 165

I think it depends on how you feel as you go. We all carry weight different on our frame too and we could all weigh the same but look different. I have extra long legs and tend to look smaller than I weigh. I think you look AMAZING now. People are telling you that because they're used to you being bigger as well. Good luck on your continued journey :)

I am 5'8" and I am 175. My surgeon would have been happy with 200. I was 310. I look good but also have a body that has given birth 3 times. I am about a size 12 to 14. I will be staying here. My face looks good. I was this weight when I got married in 1991. Welcome back me!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
