5'7"

Surgeons goal is 130.

I'm gonna try.... But I'm very muscular and busty and I looked damn fine at 145 (10 years ago!) so not sure if it's realistic.

But...... DOC is the EXPERT so I gotta shoot for what he tells me!

Doc figured my goal as "100 pounds for the first 5' and 5 pounds for every full inch above that." Leeway is +/- 5 pounds.

At 5'5" I'll be damn pleased with anything between 130 and 140!

I'm 5;3, 260 pounds hippy and curvy

I am three inches shorter than you, but about the same weight. My doctor looked me in the eye, before I said anything, and flat out said if I was looking to be 120 or so to forget it . It is not reasonable- too hippy and curvy and it wouldn't look healthy. I agreed with him. He said a realistic target would be 150ish .

I'm 5'7" and my goal is 150. I'm average sized frame but pretty straight up and down and my boobs are heading south sadly...

[MrzSongbird 53]

I'm 66 in. and my goal is between 160-170, I have a large frame and you know sistas (at least I do) like to rock a slight thickness. I can't remember the last time I weighed that much.

I'm 5'3 and going for 140, wondering about maintaining that, would be happy at 150 I think.

10-15 years ago i weighed 150 lbs,( I'm 5'3 ) - it was wonderful, amazing,,healthy and too short lived

7 months PO i weigh 155 - I'm gonna try and get down to 145-140 - but if i did get to 135 - (that wouldn't be too thin) I would make it to the century club. WOW

I'll see where the road brings me - whichever way will be fine, i"ll weigh a lot less then i did 7 months ago.

good luck to all of us

I'm 5 feet tall and 150 seems to be my magic number. I remember being that weight and I felt wonderful. I am very busty and curvy as well. I am almost at Onederland....and down around 75 lbs.

[tabbymonroe 108]

I want to be 150 but I never seen me at 130 I think I rather be that

[ebonisekim 1,713]

In 5'7 1/2 when have surgery my goal is to be 150 which my husband thinks that's way to thin which 10 yrs ago I was 180 and look damn good my husband think this is a better look for me I guess I go off of looks and how I feel when it happens ..also my husband like me curvy ...he really like my full face

I say 150 but I'm going on how I look. I am 5'4" and my nut says 135-142. So my goal is realistic.

[Miriam 50]

Well, I'm 5'2", have just gotten under 150, and am FAR from ready to stop losing - I know that on my frame (small to medium), even at 130 I'm not going to be anywhere near thin (I know because I was there about a million years ago). The truth is that a few years ago I lost quite a bit of weight dieting and almost reached 150, but was a bit smaller than I am now (I can't fit into all the clothes that I could fit into them, but I'm almost there). So it seems like even something simple like basing your goal weight on a weight you've previously been at doesn't always work.

I'm actually aiming for - dare I say it aloud? - 105, of course have no idea if I'll actually make it there. But that's the whole point - everyone has a different body, different frame, different bone density, etc. so a weight that works fine for one person at a specific height might be totally wrong for someone else. I'm not going to mourn if I don't reach my personal goal since it's particularly ambitious, but I don't think it's a totally crazy goal either, based on what I know of my own body. Only time will tell...

I set my goal on how much weigh to lose short term until I set a new goal. Making a huge goal is too disheartening for me. My NUT told me setting smaller golas makes you feel accomplished compared to a huge one. I set 3 small goals.I first wanted to get to 200. Then I want to get to 180. After that I will set a goal with my Doctor's advice because I know I can get smaller than 180. Best of luck!

[Heatherr 149]

I'm 5'4'' and I know I can't possibly get to 130lbs (without starving myself).....I cannot imagine that at 5'7'', but we all have different body shapes. 130 would put me in a size 2. I'm 37yo and have had 5 children. There is no need for me to weigh 130lbs. I think I'd slap my doctor for suggesting it.
