What did your doc suggest as a goal weight?

As i stated in my later comment' date=' i am going to try and get under 200, but as my first HUGE goal, i set it at 200..that would be 157 lbs lost...[/quote']

Rebecca when I started my band journey I didn't have a goal, my doctor never mentioned it. So one day about 4 months after surgery one of the PAs asked me what my goal was. I said idk, 160 maybe. I just picked a number out of the air. All I wanted was to be happy and healthy again.

2 months ago I reached 175 and my bmi was 25 so my doc said I was at goal. I was happy with that, felt great wearing a size 10. Time for maintenance. Doc said for maintenance keep doing what you are doing and the weight loss will settle.

Since then I'm down to 171. I feel I did reach my goal. I'm happy and healthy.

My point is make your goal what you want it to be whether it's a number or a feeling. You'll know when you reach it.

Good luck.
