At the beginning of my weight loss journey, wasn't sure what to set as my goal weight....so picked approximately 80% of my excess body weight. Guess my body want's to continue losing - now 10 pounds below what I had set as my original goal weight (total loss now of 92.5 pounds)....

I have reached my goal weight ..... and LOVE my RNY !!!!!!!!!

I would set a goal weight based on either your past, or within a normal BMI, or a size you want to obtain. Madonna, at my height and older than me, is 103 lbs. I want to be heavier than that.

The 80% of excess weight is the average for the surgery, not a person's PERSONAL goal.

Dream big, IMO (or small!).

Congratulations, way to go!

Actually, Madonna at 5'4" is about 110 while touring, 120 when not. She has a lot of muscle. Sorry to butt in, I'm a huge Madonna fan and I know these random details lol (and she is 54 today!)

According to my height of 5 feet tall and the BMI guidelines...my weight should fall within the range of 95 pounds to 128 pounds....Well - I would be a skeleton within that weight range.

Approximately 25 years ago - I joined weigh****chers and was able to get down to 130 pounds but constantly struggled to maintain that weight.....Hence why I picked the goal weight of 145 thinking that it was a more reasonable weight for me.

Now at 135 pounds....I am proud of my weight loss, the size of clothing I am in although am still in the "overweight category" by 7 pounds.... which honestly I don't care about !!!!!!!

I am currently wearing a size 6/small and love how I look in clothing .....naked of course is a different story.....YIKES !!!!!!!!!

I have reached my goal weight ..... and LOVE my RNY !!!!!!!!!
