GreenTealael 25,430 Posted May 15, 2018 What is the highest weight you would be happy at if you could easily maintain it given that you were successful initially but rebounded and regained it becomes a constant struggle to lose again?I have been thinking about this a lot and this is not to prompt a debate on success or failure but really acceptance of a possible outcome.I have not honestly given much thought to lowest weight yet so I need to do some soul searching on that end ...I think my current weight would make me very happy if I could sustain it for life.Anyone else? 1 Orchids&Dragons reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BusyMom945 63 Posted May 15, 2018 My ultimate goal is to get down to 140, that is still about 80 pounds away. But if I could get down to about 160, I think I would be ok - I'm really not sure though. Honestly, I haven't been this happy in a long time even know. I can run again and exercise without feeling like I want to die. Excercise has become fun again for me, which I love. I keep up with my kids much better! 5 FluffyChix, GreenTealael, Orchids&Dragons and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lovemickeymouse 39 Posted May 15, 2018 I am the same height as you and I think given my age I would be content around 175-180. Maybe I'll change my mind as I continue (hopefully) to lose weight. I just don't want my weight to start with a 2 and I don't want my clothing sizes to have an x in them. 8 soready17, GreenTealael, Nessy76 and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FluffyChix 17,415 Posted May 15, 2018 Range 140-145lbs (5'4") = Highest acceptable for me, personally. 3 Orchids&Dragons, Acts238girl and GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dawn Rae 32 Posted May 15, 2018 I was told for my height and age that 165 lbs would be a good weight to stick to. But, honestly, if I gain again, I'd be okay with anywhere between 165-200, so long as I don't go over. 2 GreenTealael and Orchids&Dragons reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FancyChristine15 810 Posted May 15, 2018 The lowest I've ever weighed as an adult was around 260. If I could weigh around 200 consistently, I think I'd be happy. Of course, I'd love to get and maintain at my goal weight, but as long as my weight isn't a hindrance, like it is now, I think I'd be happy. 2 Orchids&Dragons and Apple203 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

okayestmom 232 Posted May 15, 2018 I am 5’5 and my goal weight is 140. I am sure my body has changed since the last time I weighed that amount. It isn’t so much the number as it is my mobility and ability to exercises without hurting myself. Getting in and out of my car is embarrassing now. Also I found out my heavy breathing from not much effort is from the hiatal hernia and they are fixing that when I have my surgery. Looking good in jeans would be nice too though... 4 Chunkysoup, Taoz, GreenTealael and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jenbugwi 23 Posted May 15, 2018 I'm just shy of 5'9" and had once gotten myself down to 205 and was thrilled with that. I weighed about 180 in high school, so I'm shooting for somewhere in between. If I could get down to 180 and stay there, that would be great, but if that isn't in the cards I'd be ok with a few more pounds. 3 GreenTealael, LaLaDee and Orchids&Dragons reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Em_Jay75 81 Posted May 15, 2018 I am 5'5" (okay 5'4" and 3/4th lol), I am longing for 140, but will settle for anything that improves my health long term! 3 Orchids&Dragons, Needs advice and GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ancirasd 44 Posted May 15, 2018 When I was getting prepared for my surgery I wanted to be small just because all my friends were but if I were anywhere between 140-160 I think I’d be content because at my heaviest I was 298 and I feel if I hit that 300 mark I would have a nervous break down. I’m at 210 now and I’m hoping to get through this stall and lose more. Goodluck! 2 GreenTealael and Orchids&Dragons reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
