How Did You Choose Your Weight Loss Goal?

[Maddy 19]

Both my surgeon and I sat down and discussed my final goal weight. I started out at 276 I am now 206 in five months. Her goal for me is between 150-160 pds. A very obtainable goal.

I have not set one yet. Not a firm number, not a firm size really. I have a bit of difficulty "seeing" myself past a 16. beyond a 14? lol...but I am trying, because I wonder what I would look like as a 5'10" inch me, just a size 10.

Did you go by a desired size? inches? BMI?

My doctor's goal was 150 - MY goal, initially, was a size 8. I got down to a size 8 and then a 6 - I'm currently about eight lbs below the goal Dr. Davidson set and my GAP jeans are a size 4. I would never, ever have dreamed I couild get to this size....I was afraid an 8 would be too small. I would have bet money I'd look anorexic, unhealthy - but I look and feel great! I had to add snacking back into my routine just so I can maintain. I've been maintaining now for not quite a year. I go up and down a couple of lbs all the time, but I feel like I'm living life like a naturally thin person. It's great! Oh, my BMI varies between 22 and 23.
