I was just wondering if anyone else's goal weight still leaves them in the overweight or obese range according to BMI. My goal weight is 172lbs, which would put me at a BMI of about 29.5 (still overweight). When I get there, I might decide to keep going to 155lbs, which would still leave me overweight with a BMI of 27.5. Is anyone else in the same boat? Do you think we should be aiming for "healthy" weights?

...We all just have to listen to our bodies and stop trying to decided what is going to happen when ultimately we have no control over it.

I disagree- I absolutely have control over my weight. That's why I got sleeved, to regain control of my body. I would never suggest acting to one's detriment, e.g. If something causes me pain, I listen to my body and stop doing it. However giving up control got me to 265 lbs.

I am not sure that you have completely understood what I meant. I never meant that you would not have control over your eating. That is definitely something I am appreciative of now. What I was intending to express, a lot of people are concerned about the ultimate weight they will end up at. My initial goal for my weight weight was 165 lbs. Well, I am 3 months out and have already lost 60 lbs. That leaves me 30 lbs from my goal. This is leaving me not so much in control of the amount of weight that I will ultimately lose.
