Goal: Have you reached it? Has it remained the same, or have you revised your goal?

 My teenage dds actually bust me for shopping in forever21 and charlotte russe...not the minidresses or very young wear but for trendy tops/sweaters/flats...and when I'm still losing.  I love paying 9.99 for a cute sweater vest or embellished Tshirt.  

However when I get home they both give me the evil eye...and then after they see what I bought?  Wonder if it will fit them.

priceless!

lol

I went into Charlotte Russe one day. Bought a couple of things. Good prices in there!

My daughter and I shopped at Rue 21 one day. I had taken her there to shop many times. It was so nice to be able to shop there with her and actually get things! :-)

I haven't got to goal, but I haven't changed my goal much either. I'd love to hot 155 or 160, but I'd also be pretty happy to get down to 175 or a 10/12.
On the plus side, I shop in the regular section of stores! My health is pretty good, etc etc.
Of course, I am gaining weight like crazy with my second pregnancy, I hate it. I gained 22 or 23 lbs my entire first pregnancy, but I'm barely out of my 1st trimester this time and I'm already up about 12 or 13 lbs! Grrr. I'm averaging about 1400 calories a day!

 I am 5'7" and currently weigh 152lbs. I am a size 8. If I can get some of this flab off, I am sure that I will most likely go down another size or two. I came into this journey without a preset goal, other than losing weight and getting healthier. I did hit the 152lbs mark within one year of surgery. In all, I lost 110 lbs since surgery on 12/1/10 and a total of 140lbs since beginning the journey. I am at a bit of a standstill, but am OK with the scale not moving. 

Good luck with the pregnancy. Btw.your little boy is adorable!

I got within 7lbs of my goal to be under 200. Now I have 17lbs to go. It was 24lbs but now I'm working on it more. Sickness and an injury stopped my exercising. I just don't feel I will ever see 199.99999
It was so easy the first 18month.....

You must be taller. When I got down to 200 I think that was a size 20 for me.

Good luck!

I'm 216 and in a size 16.
I'm 5'9"

My original goal, 4 years ago was to get down to 150 lbs.  I am only 5'2", however I have a large bone frame.  I got THIS close to my goal at about 20 months out.  I was down to about 153 and could fit in to a size 8 pants.  That was due to my band being slipped.  Not even water would stay down most days.......so of course I ended up losing weight.

I regained over 40 lbs during my unfil and surgery recovery time when my band got repositioned.  I guess it was actually more like 50 lbs, as I stayed in the low 200's for several months...wearing size 16's once again. 

I kicked my own butt last year and lost some of that weight.  I hover around the high 170's now and am in a size 12.  I really would like to get down to original goal of 150, but I am not sure if that will ever happen unless I really buckle down and totally change my  lifestyle. 

I guess I have kind of "setteled" with where I am at.  I am pretty happy with the way I look, and my boyfriend LOVES my curvy body......my diabetes is all but gone....so, if I never get to goal, but never go back up to the 200's again, I will be happy!

It completely amazes me how difference in height and also bone structure make in size! I'm your height, 140 and size 12. I am small boned. I spoke to a taller WLS'er that is a size 12 also and she weighs 190. My Mom is 5'3" or 5'3 1/2" and I think her usuall weight before she was 103-107. She's small boned also.
