glitter eyes 1,398 Posted December 23, 2016 I am 5'3" and my body just kind of found its own goal weight. I weigh 149-150. It's a few pounds over a normal BMI, but my waist ratio is normal (I have to get weighed and measured for my health insurance and they measured my waist and said I am in the normal range). I wear a size medium top and size 6 in almost all pants. I am happy at this weight. Would eventually like to get plastics on my stomach and that would probably help. Overall I am content and consider myself at goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laceemouse 631 Posted December 23, 2016 This is the BMI chart, you can see what you need to weigh to be healthy BMI. Keep in mind that a lot of people consider this too low and there are other factors to consider. For instance, a very muscular person will always be above normal BMI but it doesn't mean they are fat. https://www.rush.edu/health-wellness/quick-guides/what-is-a-healthy-weight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BubblesOhSoSleeved 129 Posted December 23, 2016 Well for military standards it's between 115-150 if that helps...if you're going to be weight training you're going to weigh more than someone the same height and size as you. Because muscle weighs more than fat. Hope that helps Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chiarraim 14 Posted December 24, 2016 My NUT told me to concentrate on my body fat percentage. I am almost 5'1, and my goal is 30%. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Omieliz 213 Posted December 24, 2016 I'm 5"2 and I know what I want to weigh - between 130-135. I'm almost 4 months out and although I'm satisfied with my weight loss (62 pounds post op 8/31 and pre op 34 pounds for a total of 96), my weight is moving slowly now. My surgeon said I should concentrate on 60 percent of my excess body weight which would put me in the high 170s. I would not be satisfied with that. I'm hoping my body will get me down to goal :-).

vegbeth 79 Posted December 24, 2016 At 5'2" I would like To get down to 131, a normal BMI. But my reaching goal is 125. The lowest I've been as an adult was 145 (for about a week) but hovered around 150 for a while and was a size 8. That seems large for my height and bone structure (small). I think a 4-6 is a more appropriate size range for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ocgirl15 667 Posted December 24, 2016 I am 5'1" and 127. It puts me at the high end of the normal BMI range. My body resists going lower but no need too because I feel and look healthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SlimJill 291 Posted December 24, 2016 I'm 5'1-5'2 and my starting weight was 250... I am now 178 where my body is most comfortable sitting at. I would like to get to 150 lbs as my personal goal weight, but would LOVE to see 125 and be able to say I am half the woman I used to be but 150 would be a dream for me too... lowest I've been in my adult life was 168 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunschick13 14 Posted December 24, 2016 I am 5'1 and was sleeved Dec 13th. I'm hoping to be around a size 6 and really only thinking about clothing size rather than weight. Maybe I'm not thinking into the lbs yet being so newly into this. I did lose 15lbs in my first week check up. It haven't checked my weight since. Good luck everyone!
