For my height and frame 125-130 is my goal. I haven't ever been lower than 185 since I've been an adult. I'll be doing my happy dance at 179 lol

Same! The lowest adult weight I've ever been was 184! Lol

My goal weight is 150. For my height, the top of my weight range is 155 and I'd like to be a little below that if possible.

I'm 5'10".... My goal weight is 165. That would be 130lbs total. I'm at 257 now, so I've got under 100 to go ☺️. Surgeon didn't give me a goal weight (yet). My PCP said 175.

My goal is to match the weight on my driver license since I was 16: 160 lbs. I'm 282 right now at 5'3. My doctor told me to strive for 80% of my "excess weight" which is 180.

My consultants at the wellness center have not set a goal weight for me but I want to lose at least 100 pounds from my top weight. That would put me at 172. That is above a healthy BMI but I think I could maintain that weight.

However, I am "stuck" in the 180's and have been for about 3 months now! Had my surgery 1 year ago and am now at the point where every little slip shows up on the scale.

I know I need to watch what I eat, log it and keep track of Protein and Fluid intake but I tend to start of good in the morning and then lose it as the day goes on. An old habit that is hard to shake!

@@demleonard How are you doing with your exercise? I'm 11 months out now and what I've noticed is that I can slip a *little" on food OR exercise, but not both. If I'm diligent about both food and exercise, I lose at a pretty decent pace. If I slip with food OR exercise, I lose very slowly or not at all. If I slip with food AND exercise, I gain.

My Dr. and NUT goal for me is 170. My personal goal is 175 - 180 but I won't be mad at 165 - 170. I have been stalled for a long time. At my last appointment, the doctor said that I would have to fight hard to get these last 20 pounds off. He was so right. I am fighting hard for every pound I lose these days though. Ugh!!!

I started at 375.

My doctor's goal weight for me was 235. As far as I was concerned, that was just a suggestion! :-P

I really wanted to be below my high school weight of 224.

When I hit 235, I didn't feel satisfied, so I went for 224 - my high school weight.

I hit 224, and decided to go for 205.

I hit 205, now I'm pretty satisfied. :-)

wow!!! When was your surgery?

I like reading this thread!!!

My goal weight was a discussion my NUT at my first post-op appointment. She asked what I wanted and I told her I felt great around 145 but would love to be closer to 140. She agreed and stated if I went lower great but if I found it easier to stay around 140 or even 145 then that would be a good goal to set! I have 35lbs to go. I started at 255.6 on my first Dr. appt but am now less than 175!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
