What is your goal weight for your height?



Recommended Posts

I'm 5'11", and I'm one of those "dense" people who are heavier than they look - usually by about 20-30 lbs. I don't have a scale and haven't figured out the ticker thing yet, so I am going to just go by feel and weighing myself at the gym or doctor's office every so often. But my #s are:

Highest: 360 (4/24/10)

Surgery: 345 (5/19/10)

Goal: 240

Long-term ideal goal: 200 lbs.

I think I'm supposed to be 165-170 at my ideal weight, but I feel like that's neither a reasonable goal nor one that I really would strive for. I'd be happy at 240, and I think I'd be happy and healthy long-term at 200.

5foot 10, my goal was 170 ish (79kg, top of healthy weight range) officially, but I was always aiming for more like 154 (70kg exactly) and I got there pretty easily, in fact surpassed it. I generally sit between 148 and 150 now, and stay here pretty effortlessly.

I'd actaully like to be 8lb or so lighter, but anything I lose I tend to just put back on with one decent meal, lol, so I think this is where I'm meant to be. Truth be told even though my lower body would be fine 10lb lighter, my face really doesnt need to lose any more.

I'm 5'7" and my goal is 159, the tippy top of the "normal" BMI range. I have a lot of muscle hiding under my fat, work out a lot and have looked decent in the past at 170 even.

If I hit a number and my face looks wrinkley and horrible and my body looks passable I'll stop in my tracks!

I'm between 5'3" and 5'4" and I set my ultimate goal at 140 lbs though my wii fit says I should be in the low 130's. For now though I'd just be happy to get below 200 and then around 160 or 170. :thumbup:

I"m 5'7" and my goal is 180. We'll see how hard that is and how I feel, look, etc. and if I can go from there. If I decide to set a lower goal, I will at that point. But, I would be very happy at 180.

I am 5'8" and I am shooting for 155lbs. I might re-evaluate one I get under 170, but I still have about 50lbs until I get there!

Best wishes everyone!

I am 5'9 - but since I have so much to lose - I am setting my goal to 200. In reality I want to get down to 170, but an even 150 lost sounds awesome to me at this stage!

I'm 5' 4.5'' and my goal weight is 140. I can't remember when I weighed this maybe in middle school? Well that's my plan, I have a long way to go!

I'm 5'-4" and my goal is 150. I think it is a do-able goal and not too small. I may change the goal later on down the road depending on how much muscle I want to maintain.

I'm 5'5.5 and my goal is 145lbs. I've been having the hardest time with these last 20 lbs. (I think I've gained a few from what my ticker shows) I'm having trouble staying motivated. I'm not obese anymore but, still feel overweight. I think since I didn't make my goal by year anniversary it really took my "steam" away.

Although I would love to say my goal weight is 150, I think realistically 170 is better for me. I am 5-7 and my doctor said it would be very possible for me to lose 80 pounds and that would be right at 170.

I am 5' 8.5'' and my goal is 145, which is the middle of the healthy range. I haven't been lower than 190 in 10 years.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
