I was thinking about this the other day. I said right now my goal was to be anywhere between 150-170 and I would be happy. My surgeon never gave me a number to strive for. A size 8 would be nice but since jr high I've worn a 14-18 so I have no idea what different sizes will look like on me.

Queen,
I'm a big time lurker, and rarely come out of lurkdome... but your post was EXACTLY what I was thinking the other day.  At surgery time, my goal was 160lbs.  Well, 160 came and went.  I currently weigh 148.  I couldn't even imagine myself at 160 let alone 148.  But I"m loving every minute in this new body.  My hubby and others are concerned that I'll loose too much more.  I'm comfortable at this weight and have bought a lot of clothes for this size... so I hope I don't loose much more either.  I'm 11 months post op so we'll see if I stabalize here. 

But to answer your question... yes, I'm like you ... under my goal weight.  But glad about it!

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Psalms 46:10  Be still, and know that I am God James 1:17  Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights....    

 to God be the Glory!

Boss lady glad you came out of lurkdom to answer. I am PRAYING this is it for me except for the 5 lbs I spoke about. I have bought all new wardrobe in 10's even though I'm less than a year out. My thought process is that I can always get stuff tailored a size or two but I do NOT want to be a size 6 and can already fit into some  8's. I'm 5'10 and will NOT look like a crackhead!  I got my sexiness on right now I do NOT want to get my sickly on

Girl, you had me giggling over hear.  I'm with you - no crack headedness for me either.  I'm loving my sexiness too.  I don't want that sickly look that has people wondering!

Be well and keep me posted on your progress!

Coming from 376, I just wanted to be healthy and see 199!  I made it, and my azz is stuck!  I fluctuate from 188-198 and I hate it!  My mini goal is 180....once I get there, I'm sure I'll adjust it downward.  160 would sure be nice as I'm only 5'4".

I was out at a year and the Dr. saided I can get another
30lbs.off.  But due to knees problems and fibromyalgia. I'm still at that weight.  No I gain 7 lbs and had to lose them to get back on track.  Need to get another 30lbs from where he saided I could be It has not happen.162lbs from 132lbs.  Just started my Dr. Menu a week and hal*****o get the rest of the lbs off that he wanted me to be at 130 by my 18 months (have  a few weeks to get to the 18 mos.)out have not happen yet.  You'll are blessed to have started early and not have so many medical problems you have done Fantastic.  I'm not where I wanted to be but I'm glad where I am.  I came from 22-20 pants to 10's and 3x-2x tops to large tops and jackets.  It's still a little bitter sweet but you know I'm not stopping and I'm moving on. You can teach  a old person 53 new tricks. Need a new Rheumatology there no major exercise that I can do that want set it off.DD wanted me to got half on a WII not even got a thread the HB paid almost 950.00.  I can count on one hand how many time I've been able to use it. Not that I haven't try when I use it I'm in bed with heating pads and pain pills. You have done great don't know when I'm getting there but if the Dr. say it possible that I can get there I will(130 lbs 5"3, married at 110lbs 35yrs ago) got to over 300 at one time was at 233lbs at surgery.  It may not be in my 18 months but I'll get there.  Now did I confuse you
