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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
