Kind of off topic. Just wondering how tall you all are
im 5'3 on a good day lol and my goal is 160 dr.clough goal is 145..current weight 165. I figure anything after 160 is bonus but very happy right now losing 65lbs..i started out at 230lbs.. dyana wasnt really happy when i said 160 i asked her what she wanted me at and she said what ever you want,,she didnt answer me..
amber i m surprized she is making you lose 20lbs before sending paper work i had her and she never did that..some times they are having a bad day it think..i have seen them have real attitude. I shouldnt say that but we pay good money for there help they shouldnt be that way(trying to find a nice way to put it),i know they see people with weight problems all day but if they dont like there job they shouldnt be there.its hard to be bubbley all day but we are there for help not get crap and leave there feeling worse.
I remember my first appt with Corinne she said 110 going by a chart she had. Hmmm not sure about that one. Here on OH it says 126 is my ideal weight for my height.. So I figured myself I would shoot for 120. Somewhere in between. When I go for my 2 month check up I will ask Dr Loggins if they have a goal weight for me.
I am 5'5 and weigh 151.5. My doctor and I never set a goal. My goal was to wear a 14/16 maybe a size twelve if I was really lucky. I never thought I would get to wear I am at and that is wearing 8/10. My BMI is 25.1 and still says I am moderately overweight, one more lb and i will be normal. As I got closer to 160 I knew I wanted to go for 155, then wanted to go lower. I would love to see the scale say 149 if even for a brief moment, but my body right now seems to happy where it's at. I just had to have my driver's license renewed and it is the first time I wasn't lying about my weight. Since high school it has said 150 and I think I was even lying then.
I am 5'6 and my personal goal was originally 160. Then Corrine said 138. I was shocked, I think I weighed 138 in 2nd grade ha ha. So I lowered my goal to 150. It is funny though, because every spring when I would do a big diet I would get to 190-200 and think I looked fabulous. I would wear mini skirts and everything (in a 14). So here I am thinking...what the heck will I do when I am 150. I made my hubby and my mom promise not to let me go out like a hoochie ha ha.
Good question kathy B!! I always wondered that too...peoples height. I am 5' 9" and Ive set a goal weith of 180....but Ill be happy being under 200. No one at the bariatric center has even mentioned a goal weight....

I'm 5'8" and the goal weight I set for myself was 140 pounds. My nut. said she thought I would get to 150 pounds. I've passed both my goal and my nut's goal and actually like how I feel smaller. I just don't want to get any smaller. I'd like to stay right here. I hate the way my face looks so thin, and I miss my boobs, but other than that I like being 132 pounds.
I set 140 pounds as my goal because I weighed 145 pounds when I got married in 1989 and I felt so good then. That's the thinest I ever was as an adult and all I had to compare to.
My nut. says at 18 months its usually the smallest RNYer's will get. She also says I may gain some back and that 140 is now a reasonable weight. I'm not so sure if I want to be 140 anymore, but I guess my body will be where it wants to be as long as I'm doing what I'm suppose to be doing.
Good luck on getting to your goal. This tool makes it possible for all of us to do it.
