How does one figue out what their goal weight is? I am currently 6'1, 203 pounds. Small frame... Whats good for me? I was thinking about 190... But Making it down to 190 is going to be hard with all this extra skin weighting against me. How did you determine what your goal weight was going to be?

I initally decided on my goal weight based on the BMI calculator. KNowing that I have a big bone structure, I went with the high side of healthy, which is approx 150-155 based on my height. But....I recently went for my first PS consult and that surgeon informed me that i have acquired quite a bit of muscle mass from my exercising and probably can not get down that low prior to PS. He stated that I only have about another 10 lbs or so left to lose. I am going to check with my surgeon (as he has a scale that also measures fat % in his office) to see how true this really is. And I will see what other plastic surgeons say. I suggest aim for healthy first and then get your surgeons input. They should have an idea of how much more fat you are carring versus it being excess skin.

Jason, I'm currently 5'11 and weigh about 225. My inital goal weight that I set for myself was 175 or abouts. But now I would be happy to get like 195-200. You don't want to get to skinny and look unhealthy. For myself I still see me as being huge in a large or 1x shirt because, I get to see my stomach with out a shirt on, but everyone else tells me I look wonderful and normal. it is all about personal preference I think. If I don't loose another pound I'll be happy were I'm at. But I hope and pray I loose this last 30lbs!
