How close are you to your goal?

As far as OH is concerned my goal is 160 pounds- so i am 3 pounds to my goal, my doctor wants me to be at 148, i think that is way to thin for me. I am comfortable where i am. kelly 283/163/160or 148?

I'm 24lbs from goal. I originally thought I should weigh 130 as the charts recommend, but I have changed my new goal to a more realistic weight of 140. Debbie 229/164/140

According to the chart I printed out from here, my ideal weight is 134. My personal goal is to make it to 130, but that may change when I get to 140. We'll see. I was thinking that I could be there by my 1-yr anniversary. I started out at 231 on surgery day (241 pre-op doc visit) Today's weight: 152 Pounds to go: 22 However, there are other goals that are more important to me now. Saturday I'm running in a 10K. The goal for that race is to run the whole way - no walking. I'm very nervous about this. Next summer I want to do a triathlon which means I need to learn to swim better. This winter the goal is to concentrate on swimming while keeping up with the running. I now have fitness goals rather than weight goals. At this point I think if I keep up with fitness, the weight will even itself out where I need to be. Linn -89#

I am truly impressed with everyone's weight loss! I think we all have quite a bit to be proud of. I started at 374 lbs.. I am now at 227 lbs.. a loss of 147 lbs! So far I have lost 2/3 of my excess weight. I have 78 more pounds to loose, but I am going to get there! I am shooting for the high end of what the height/weight chart says I should weigh (150 lbs). At this point, I just can't wait to break that 200 pound weight. Boy will there be some dancing that day! Best, Amy Thomas

IMO - I am already at goal. I never really had a goal weight to begin with. I wanted to be under 200 lbs and be healthy and active. I put on paper that I wanted to get to 170 lbs but being at 185 now and seeing my body where it's at today, I think I am at goal now. I just need to get the excess skin chopped off and I will be a TOTALLY happy camper.

t start at febryary 26 =284 ,now=165, to go=35

Hi there! I reached goal 2 weeks before my 6 week check-up! Now I'm having problems maintaining. Not like the old days...problems to not regain weight but the very opposite. I keep losing, albeit moe slowly, but still losing. Anyone else in that place? Cheers, Rusty

I am 19 lbs from goal as of this AM. Currently at 164 and want to be at 145... 4 lbs from century club...I can almost taste it!! Marta 260/164/145

I started out with a goal of 180 but change to 160. So I guess I have two goal, I'm only 9 pounds away from my first goal and 29 pounds from my second.... 291/189/160 -102 Linda

I've lost 88 pounds since surgery and I have 37 more pounds to lose to reach my goal. I'm going to see my surgeon on Monday. (I'm late with my 6 month check up.) I'm going to ask her opinion. She never set a goal for me and I'd like to know what she thinks would be reasonable. I have been shooting for a BMI in the "normal" range and a loss of 37 more pounds would put me there. Linda -88
