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?

      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!
