Ideal Weight

I saw this on another board and thought maybe it would be nice to see what everyone thought. What is your ideal weight? How many pounds more until you get there? How long has/will it take you to get there? My current weight is 278lbs. My Ideal weight is 180lbs. So I have a little under 100lbs to go. I am not sure how long it will take me to get there, I hope I can reach in within a year, Melissa

I'd like to get to 180lbs. I looked good when I was at 185 previously. That means I have 44 lbs to go. I hope to be there in 5 months. Which would be by August. My ideal weight according to charts is 169lbs but I think I'll be too thin at that weight. Chip

Chip, My ideal weight would be about 156, but I am also almost 6 feet tall. I have big bones ( i guess that was to carry all the extra weight) so I think for me to get down to 156, I would look really sick. Melissa

My Ideal weight is about 145-150 and since I'm still newly post-op it's going to take me at least a year to get there. - Kelly

My current weight~342 My Ideal Weight~ 185 I have 157 more lbs. to go. I feel like it's going to take FOREVER to get there. Hopefully less than 2 years Kay

I am still pre op My current weight- 395 My Ideal weight - 185 I have 210 before I reach my goal weight, I hope I can acheive it in 1 year and a half.

Sherry, You and I have something in common. I too would like to get down to 180/ But for some reason I am going through another stall. Best of luck to you. Melissa
