What is your ultimate Goal??

Happy to save a spot on the losers bench.  Good luck.

  Hi All,

  I havent' discussed a goal weight with my doctor.  But I am thinking about 140-150 ish.  I am somewhat muscular and would like to keep that.  My highest weight was 350 and three days before surgery I am at 326.  I hope that I will be able to lose all that excess weight in the first two years.
    But my ultimate goal is just to achieve total freedom of movement with oodles of stamina!

Smart move!  Not putting a number on it.  I guess when you think about it it really isnot the number. Heck, People would never guess that I weigh what I weigh.  Good luck.

 havent really talked "numbers" but this is mine personally.

btw: i am 5'8 and medium framed

start: 300
current: 289
goal:150

and on a personal level my goal is to be healthy again!  and to take some sexy naked pictures for my hubby!!!

I hear ya about the healthy part. And the sexy naked pictures what hubby would not love that. Lol!  Good luck tomorrow can not wait to hear about your uneventful surgery.  Save me a spot on the losers bench.

My doctor hasn't told me any goal either, I guess I am one of the shorties in the group, I am 5'3 1/2 .

Heaviest weight 315
Currrent weight 299
Will try to be down to 295 by Monday!!
Would like to goal at 150-145.

350 current weight 5'7"
160 my goal weight
230-192 doctor's estimation of what I we can reasonably expect to lose (60% -80%) of excess weight

The doctor gave no specific requirement, however.  My thoughts are that some of that  extra weight will be extra skin that must be removed.  Additionally, I plan on lifting weights again( muscle weighs more that fat)  so as long as I look good in my clothes and I'm healthly, I'm happy.
