I'm 5'4". MY goal is 150, my surgeon's goal is 175.

I am 5'5. I would love to be around 145. But I am afraid that won't likely happen at my age. LOL My surgeon never set a goal weight for me, but I would be content at 160 I think.

My goal is 130. A bariatric doctor I saw said I would probably get to 120.

My goal is 140 (top of the recommended normal weight for 5'4" female). My doctor never gave me a goal. I see him again in March and I plan to ask what he expects as far a goal weight. I know most surgeons are hesitant and always say things like "it all depends on the person" etc.

I'm 5'4 and my goal weight is 164, I have 16 more lbs to go -- it's really tough losing these last few pounds but I WILL do it and I am in no rush.

Because of other medical problems, results of many years of being over weight, and my age my goal is 150, My surgeon set my goal at 180

5'5" goal weight is 140. Reached goal and trying to get to my personal goal of 130.

I'm 5'5" (almost) my goal weight is 150 as of right now. I want to be happy with what I see in the mirror, not the number. I am thinking that even 150 might be too low for me.

I'm an inch taller at 5'6" but my original goal was 135 pounds, (would have been an even 100 pound loss and put me smack in the middle of healthy BMI). I got to 140 and decided it was "enough" and raised my goal range to 135-145. I can wear a size 4 skinny jean comfortably and hang out between 140-142 most of the time. It's all good.

I'm barely 5'5" and a little older, so I want to be realistic and say 150. I may go 145 for a little cushion.

I have posted this in the past, it may help some people.

I am 37 years old, 5'5" and my goal is 140-150. I started at 262, and after 3 months I am down to 217 (-45#s). I am really hoping to make goal and think it is definitely possible. It is interesting to see the wide variety of goal weights amongst the group. I know in high school I weighed between 150-160 and was extremely active between sports, school, work, and social life. I don't know that my body is physically capable of going less than the 150 mark. If I wasn't below there as a teenager and really active, I don't know that I will below able to go beyond that point as a middle aged mom. We will see!

I'm 5'0" and I want to be 130-140. Or whatever weight I am at a size 6.

That's a great chart! So 150lbs at my age (47) would be very realistic. Thanks!
