My stats:

  • Age: 55
  • Height: 5' 3"
  • Beginning weight pre-lap band surgery 6/2008: 220
  • Weight when my lap band was removed 2/2017: 140
  • Weight pre-sleeve 2/2018: 160
  • Current weight: 128
  • Goal weight: 125

My surgeon suggested that I lose more - going into the 110s. I haven't been that weight in 30 years, and I'm happy with 125 as a goal. I feel fantastic at my weight right now! :D

Hi! I am 5'6 and my goal weight is 175. I know its on the higher end, and I'll still be considered overweight but I also want to set realistic goals. I think that once I hit that weight, I might aim for 160, but honestly my true goal is not being in pain, and being able to shop in normal stores :)

That's pretty much exactly what my goals are. I'm 5'5 ... almost 5'6

I put 180 for my goal weight because I liked the ticker, LOL! But my main goal is to FEEL healthier, stronger, agile, and flexible. I want to walk a flight of steps without huffing and puffing. I want to sit comfortably at a stadium or in an airplane (without having to ask for a belt extender). I want to place my hands flat on the floor and touch my forehead to my knees.

I’m curious! [emoji4]
What is your goal weight? How tall are you? How much weight do you have to lose? What is your proudest NSV?
For those of you who have met your goal weight: How many pounds have you lost? How long did it take to reach your goal?
I’m 5’2”, starting at 240ish pounds, with an ultimate goal weight of 130 [emoji4]

I am 6’4” and started my journey at 333lbs. I originally set a goal weight for myself of 230lbs just trying to set something I thought was realistic. I am currently sitting at 198lbs, and have realized at this point that the number really doesn’t matter. My only goals now are getting my body to where I want it to be strength wise, and to just live healthy. If I gain or lose a few pounds it really doesn’t matter so long as I am living the way I know I need to to stay healthy.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
