My Personal Goal was to loose 100 pounds . To break atleast down to 170 .. well I sit here today having lost 150 pounds .. and way past my personal goal . My docs goal was 150 .. I am now 2 pounds less than that .. striving for a new personal goal of 145 . Hugs, Pixie O I am 5.7 tall ..

My doctor's goal was to weigh 150--I am now at 165. I have lost 104. I really don't want to lose any more. I don't know were it would come from if I did lose it. I am looking boney already. Size 10 at 165! Who would have thought. Take care--Sandra

My goal was 140 pounds lost...I am at minus 84...goin for 60 more...losing it slowly...but, surely...and I won't give up!! Jeannie

Hey all, I have lost 102 pounds, I didn't get a goal f4rom my doc, but my personal goal was 185 when I first started. I am now at 178, and would really like to end up at 155. That makes it 23 more pounds to lose. I am 5'6, and currently wearing size 12's in jeans, L-XL in tops, 14 in a dress.

You are right...this post got us all to come out of lurkdom...lol I started at 265(bmi 47)...and I am now 153.5(bmi 27.2).....that is -111.5lbs. I started at a hair under 5'3 and I am now 5'3 1/2. Docs goal was 150 and I am 3.5lbs from his goal. My goal (for now) is 135 and I am 18.5lbs from this goal. I will be having a tt/hernia repair in Aug so I am sure that will help me reach my goal too.

I'm actually 11 mo today (5/24) and here's my stats. Height 5'5" (start) Height 5'6" (Now) start weight 349 weight today 197 goal (personal) 175 goal (Doctor) 150 I've lost 152 lbs and HAPPY!!! My doctor said there's no reason I can't get to his goal by September but if I'm happy with the way I look at 175 then at that point he'll start the insurance process for plastics. (I'm not 100% sure I want him to do my plastics - I think I want a specialist who can know how to make the scars minimal.) Everyone's done fantastic! I'm PROUD that I've had this surgery! I'm PROUD of everyone for taking charge of their lives!!! Much Dee Dee

BTW - did anyonw realize that this board has lost amlost 2000 (yes that's two thousand) pounds!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW....we've lost a TON!!!!!!!!!!

My doctor and I never discussed a goal weight. My goal weight is 210. I am about 50 lbs away from that having lost about 180 pounds so far. I have been loosing inches faster than pounds so I am pretty sure that I have gaining muscle mass. I have my 1 year appointment in a couple of weeks. I have a list of questions and his goal weight is one of them.

I am 40 lbs from my doctor's goal of 135 lbs I am 5' 3" I have lost a total of 80 lbs in 11 1/2 mo. out I currently weight 175.5 and I am still "obese" according to the Body Mass Index chart. My beginning weight was 255.5 I am a slow loser...sigh....
