Setting New Goal



Recommended Posts

OK... so I have been on here for a year with a goal of 175 lbs. I made that goal last month, but ever since I have been fluctuating up as much as 4-5 pounds. So... as of today I have reset my goal to 165 pounds and recommitted. I will henceforth stop standing on my high horse and get back to work! 165 or bust!!!

Best wishes on recommitting yourself! I'm pre-op (Oct 15). Hope to see you around here a lot. I might have some questions.

I'm with you! It's been 3 yrs for me and I've been stuck at around 150 for the last year (was down to 144 last Dec, but I had a slip and gained). 150 was my dr's original goal for me, but when I got there, I realized I still felt/looked fat (ok, maybe chubby) so I made it 135. Have never in my adult life been 135!

But I promise, I will get there! The last 20 are the hardest to lose, for sure! I used to laugh at friends who had just 20 lbs to lose and think "whats the big deal?" Now I know! Good luck to you!

I am tall... So not having been under 200 since i dont know when... I wasnt sure what number to pick.

My original goal was 160. I will be there in 9 lbs. but I have decided to lose 19 instead because I think I can. My husband disagrees with me. Says i will look too gaunt. The dr said it won't hurt. I say... I will get down the next nine and decide when I arrive.

Congrats on your decision!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
