I'm 5'2 and my goal is 140... I will say though, that I cannot imagine ever getting there. That's what I weighed in high school, and it just seems like a pipe dream. I've maintained 175 in my adult life for a few years and thought I looked fantastic, so if I didn't get below that I'd be ok. But I'll try for 140 and see how it goes.

I'm 5' 6" and my goal is about 160-165, but really anything under 200 would make me extremely happy.

I'm the same way!!

I'm 5'4 and my goal that my doctor is cool with is just under 170. For my build, 165-170 puts me in a 10/12. If I lose more, so be it, but I'm happy in a 10/12. If your profile image is you, make sure to stick with sizes and body fat % as there have been a few studies that show BMI isn't an accurate measurement for black women. We tend to have less fat that women of other ethnicities.

Good luck!

You should check out my body project. It has real pictures real women have submitted of themselves. You can search weight, height, pant size and body shape at once. Just Google it. I spend hours on it, its addictive

I'm 5"3, my original goal weight was 145 but I think that's still considered overweight for me but I'd be totally happy. Right now I'm 191, started art 238 at pre-op liquid.< /p>

I'm 5"2.5 and my goal is 160!!! looking at you much taller folks (taller than me anyway!) it feels like i should reconsider' date=' but i was happy at this weight before! my doc has set no weight goals for me...[/quote']

Yeah I'm 5'1" and my goal is 160 maybe that's too high but I don't remember anything under 200 really so I'll get down to my goal and then go from there.

I agree with you lol I would love to fit in a size 9/10.. I'm 5'3 and I just set small weightless goals for my self. My 1st one is 50lbs. Then 25lbs more. So the last 10 won't seem like a burden. I'm 18lbs from my 1st goal..

Hi guys;)

I'm 5'1, currently 145 goal is 115.

I have a very small frame about 120-115 is perfect for me!

I'm 5'6" and have a goal of 150, which would put me in a size 10. Less than that would be wonderful, but I need to see what's going to be realistically maintainable. I told my doc that I'd do a naked cartwheel if I ever got to 140 and he laughed and said be careful what you wish for!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
