Where should I end up?

Hey all! Things are going great - I couldn't ask for more! I'm down 65lbs (slow by most standards - but as long as it's comin off - I don't care!) and over 40 inches! 20 off my waist alone! My question is this - what weight should I end up with? I am 5' 7" tall, with a large bone structure. I have a lot of muscle (always have...) and larger thighs (NEVER going to go away! So what do you all think? I would like to see 150lbs, but is that realistic? I don't really have a set number in mind - more where my body rests naturally, but curious as to what you all think. Thanks for your help! Barbie 281/216/150ish?

i think.. between 180-165

Barbie, Loss of 75% of excess is realistic, although some do loose more. Here's a chart based on your weight and height that you can shoot for if you want to loose 75%. Your BMI and Goal Weight Results Your weight is 281 pounds. Your ideal body weight is 147 pounds. Thus, this means your "excess" weight is about 134 pounds. Bariatric surgery might help you lose 75% of this excess weight, meaning you might lose 100 pounds. If you lost 100 pounds, then you would end up weighing 181 pounds. 181 pounds would thus be your "goal weight" for bariatric surgery. Typically bariatric surgery patients lose this amount over the course of a 12 to 15 months, with slight fluctuations and possibly slight regain after that. Below is a graph of how your weight might change after surgery. Your current BMI is 44. Click here to find out what that means. WARNING: The figures below represent just one possible typical outcome. Your loss could vary greatly. new calculation Key: - possible loss of 100 lbs after surgery - excess weight you might keep is 34 lbs - your ideal weight is 147 lbs Possible Weight Loss 281 Mo.- Weight 1 - 261 2 - 241 3 - 231 4 - 226 5 - 221 6 - 216 7 - 211 8 - 205 9 - 200 10- 194 11 - 190 12 - 185 13 - 182 14 - 180 15 - 182 16 - 180 17 - 181 18 - 180 Month 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Wt.
