Do you have a time table for your goal weight?

I have been thinking about this more and more and I was just wondering what everyone else has done? I have about 100 lbs. to lose and I'd really like to be at goal by a year post op. Is that a good goal or should I shoot a little lower?

That was my goal... 100 pounds in a year. I figure that's 8-10 pounds per month and 2-3 pounds per week?

But I worry because I hear so many people hitting long plateus even with fills in between. I'm losing pretty good right now, so good that I didn't even get my first fill... I have to go back in January... I guess that's good. My Dr. only expects 1-2 pounds per week of loss and I'm at 2-4. So I'm a happy camper... for now.

I really didn't have a # but more a size goal. My goal was to get into an 18. I hit that at my first year mark. My goal now is to hit 16 and I would like to lose 30 more lbs in the next 6 months. That puts me a little over 1 lb per week. I'll be down almost 100 lbs at that time. I am 65% at goal right now. I am considered a slow/average loser. My goal is 185 and I'm 218 right now. Good luck! You can totally lose 100 lbs in a year. You really need to exercise though.

Nope. Que sera, sera!

My only goal is to keep plugging along, following the rules as best I can and getting back on track if I should stray. I'll drive myself crazy if I if I try to set a timetable but goal-setting does seem to work for many folks.
