What's your goal weight?



Recommended Posts

I am 5'4 and my goal is 135-140. I am currently at 189 and people are asking me if I am done losing?? WTH? Umm....noooo' date=' I'm not. Goodness, I'm pretty sure I am still considered obese at this point. I have found it is better to sometimes to just ignore all those other people's voices![/quote']

I try not to listen to what other people think about what they think I should be at. My doctors initial goal was 160 /164, which would put me at the top if my bmi. I waiver between 169/172 for more than 9 months now. I wear size 8/10. Everyone says that I should be done losing now and that I am skinny enough.

I think skinny is a strong word and I am far from that. But I think my body might be done losing, although I haven't tried all that hard to lose the last few pounds. I am extremely happy were I am at, but it would be nice to say I officially met my goal weight. I did make my size goal though :-)

5'8" 164 goal, 240 start, 170 current

Didn't gain during xmas!!!! Woohoo

Surgeon told me with height and age, body build....my goal weight is 154...I'm 5.5 tall. 45 years old. I went from 276 down to 162...a good 8-10 pounds to go.

I have a lot of short term goals to get thru before my big goal. I started at 250. My first goal I gave myself was to get to 230 which was my weight I was prior to surgery cause I had to gain weight to qualify. I am currently at 225 1 1/2 months later. My next goal is 212. Which was the lowest weight I was at last year. After I hit that goal its 199. Me and bestie are throwing a party cause I got below the 200's. My final weight I would like to stay at goes between 160-170. Im 5'7" my smallest ever was 130 and looking back that was to skinny for me.

Hynita, when u say 50% of your body weight, did the doctor mean 50% of the weight you had to lose or 50% of your starting weight?

      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.
