BadWolf523 196 Posted May 8, 2019 I’m 5’2 my goal is 165 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boldilocks 312 Posted May 8, 2019 I am 5ft tall - and like so many here it seems, a goal weight was never discussed with my Dr. My own goal is 124lbs - if I manage to reach that, I'll re-evaluate from there. I remember being 19 and 119 lbs, and wanting to lose weight because I felt fat and wanted to be 112 *insert eye roll*. I'm just over 3 months out, and the weight is coming off very slowly for me because of my hormonal issues (polycystic ovarian syndrome) - but I'm hoping to be halfway to goal in the next 2 weeks.

Hello! I have PCOS as well! How much have you lost since the surgery? I was 187 on surgery day - I had been 192 and then lost a few lbs on the pre-op diet. I'm just about 162 now, so 25 lbs since surgery day. Nowhere near as much or as fast as a lot on here - but I have the PCOS, and my starting BMI was relatively low. I was wearing Size 16 and am now in 12s that are a bit loose - hope to be in Size 10 by the end of the month. (Bear in mind that US sizes are different and you have to add 4 to get the UK equivalent. I'm from the UK, so I'm fluent in both, LOL). At 158 lbs I'll be halfway to goal, and that is the milestone I'm working on right now. How is it all going for you at about a month out??

AngieBear 2,524 Posted May 9, 2019 I’m 5’3” and haven’t set a final goal yet. I weightlift, so that impacts my body comp. I really have no idea what size different weights will be. A size goal is an 8. But honestly? I’d be thrilled at a 10-12. So I’ll just work my plan and see how this goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m from the UK as well 😀 So you’re fitting in a US size 10? Is that UK size 14 then? I haven’t had my surgery done yet, but it’s due in under 4 weeks now!! It’s really creeped up on me!
