I am 5'3" and my body just kind of found its own goal weight. I weigh 149-150. It's a few pounds over a normal BMI, but my waist ratio is normal (I have to get weighed and measured for my health insurance and they measured my waist and said I am in the normal range).

I wear a size medium top and size 6 in almost all pants. I am happy at this weight. Would eventually like to get plastics on my stomach and that would probably help. Overall I am content and consider myself at goal.

This is the BMI chart, you can see what you need to weigh to be healthy BMI.

Keep in mind that a lot of people consider this too low and there are other factors to consider. For instance, a very muscular person will always be above normal BMI but it doesn't mean they are fat.

Well for military standards it's between 115-150 if that helps...if you're going to be weight training you're going to weigh more than someone the same height and size as you. Because muscle weighs more than fat. Hope that helps

My NUT told me to concentrate on my body fat percentage. I am almost 5'1, and my goal is 30%.

But your body usually chooses for you.

I'm 5"2 and I know what I want to weigh - between 130-135. I'm almost 4 months out and although I'm satisfied with my weight loss (62 pounds post op 8/31 and pre op 34 pounds for a total of 96), my weight is moving slowly now.

My surgeon said I should concentrate on 60 percent of my excess body weight which would put me in the high 170s. I would not be satisfied with that. I'm hoping my body will get me down to goal :-).

At 5'2" I would like To get down to 131, a normal BMI. But my reaching goal is 125. The lowest I've been as an adult was 145 (for about a week) but hovered around 150 for a while and was a size 8. That seems large for my height and bone structure (small). I think a 4-6 is a more appropriate size range for me.

I am 5'1" and 127. It puts me at the high end of the normal BMI range. My body resists going lower but no need too because I feel and look healthy.

I'm 5'1-5'2 and my starting weight was 250... I am now 178 where my body is most comfortable sitting at. I would like to get to 150 lbs as my personal goal weight, but would LOVE to see 125 and be able to say I am half the woman I used to be :D but 150 would be a dream for me too... lowest I've been in my adult life was 168

I am 5'1 and was sleeved Dec 13th. I'm hoping to be around a size 6 and really only thinking about clothing size rather than weight. Maybe I'm not thinking into the lbs yet being so newly into this. I did lose 15lbs in my first week check up. It haven't checked my weight since. Good luck everyone!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
