I am just curious , obvcourse everyones body/goals/health is different.

But I am just curious , how low in lbs you would actually go before deciding to maintain.

I find it interesting, some i have seen get to 99lbs when there start goal was 150 and on the other hand i have seen people have a goal at 120 but decide 150 is the lowest they feel comfy, so its just intresting to see, if peoples prospectives change the lower they get, from what there start lowest number would have been :)

I also wonder if my number would change lol

Pre op , three weeks to the op - Start : 244lbs lowest id think I would go 130lbs

I am 175 right now. I thought that I would be happy at 170-180. Nope! I still have a fair amount of belly and a bit more on my sides before I will be happy. I don't care what the final number ends up being but I bet that somewhere around another 20 pounds ought to be close.

I am having my sleeve done on 06/26 and my surgeon has estimated I will loose around 66lbs. I think hes being conservative and I have set myself 2 goals

First one is 88lbs and the ideal (dream one) 110 lbs

Start is 253 lbs so either 165 or 143lbs or here in Aus Start 115kg so either 75kg or 65kgs

See how the journey takes me

Good luck :)

You probably won't have any idea until you do it. Before surgery I said 160. I'm 158 and no where near done yet.

Without height, questions like this are pretty useless. I'm 5'4", I wouldn't want to go lower than 120 lbs.

Lol. I'm fine with my useless question. Anyone is free to mention height. But I was only curious about weight. So neither the question nor answers are useless to me :) I think as a supportive group no one should say someone's question is useless but its all good . its a light hearted question.

I'm glad you're fine with it. Other people reading might not be. It would be a shame to give someone who is 5'10" the idea that their goal weight should be 120 lb. Or someone who is 4'10" the ideas that 210 lb is great. While we focus a lot on weight here, we need to make sure not to do it in a vacuum.

Its a blessing that anyone not fine with it can scroll past, Phew, glad that is an option. Whos giving anyone any idea? No one said their goal weight should be any ones goal weight, I am sure we can all be responsible for our selves. and I made it clear in the description that everyones 'body' is different , that would include everyones height may be different lol . I asked a simple question, anyone who has an issue with the question can.

A. Not answer.

B. Answer how they see fit, as you did, many people have said their height along side.

"The idea that their goal weight should be 120lbs" I do not recall the question being " What should everyone else's goal weight be?"

You can make your point without calling someones question useless.

That being said, I have not been here long, so perhaps you have seen alot of similar questions asked, its likely that they will be asked again as new people join lol so you may be busy commenting on each letting everyone know how useless the post is , if it makes you happy, please go ahead.

I am going back to the original posts focus . Have a wonderful day and thanks for your input.

My doctor's goal is 200 (see my ticker) - that puts me at a BMI of 27 (overweight).

My personal goal is 180 or less, which is in the normal range.

I'm not stopping until I feel like doing so.
