What is your goal weight?



Recommended Posts

My Nut wants me at 140 but I would love to be at 130.

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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
