goal weight
I had my WLS 2 years ago when I was 55 and I weighed in at 203. I'm about 4'11 or a little less now.
I lost 75 lbs. on WW when I was in my 30's but I was active with 3 children, but of course that all came back plus.
Other than shopping and chasing grandchildren around, I have done no exercising since surgery. My goal was to get to 125, but I'm actually at 109 now. I did drop to 106 for a few days, but 109 is my "magic number". I bounce between 109 and 112 on a daily basis.
It took me about 7 months to get to my 125 goal and then another 5 months to get the 4/5 months to get the next 16 off and I've kept it off about 9 months now without any problems. If I had exercised it might not have taken me that long, but I'm very happy with my lifestyle.
I drink 100g of Protein a day, eat 3 small meals, and 3/4 snacks a day
I have no doubts that you can get under 140. Your goal should be to get to a normal BMI and that's definitely under 140 for our height.

Roz, thank you so so much. I really love to hear stories like this. You give me hope that if I work the tool and stick with it, I can make it to NORMAL. Woohoo.

I have had all kinds of goals over the years. About 15 years ago I dieted and exercised from 185 down to 125 and stayed there for several years doing 10-12 hours of martial arts every week. I still felt overweight but could fit into a size 8 and felt reasonably okay with my size. When I remarried and stopped exercising so much (as well as cooking for my new hubby every night!) the weight started creeping back on. I managed to stay in the 140-150 range for quite some time, then ballooned up to the 160-170 range, then dieted and exercised down to 140.5 a couple of years ago when my DH was on an out-of-town work project for almost a year, then it started creeping up again as soon as he got home. And when I started grad school a year ago, it SHOT up to 175 with no end in sight and I knew I had to do something!
Before I learned I might be able to have WLS, I though if I could get back to 140 and stay there I'd be ecstatic. Well, I'm at 140.8 today and although I'm certainly happy with my progress, I'm going for broke -- I've set my goal at 115, which is what I weighed as a sophomore in high school, which is the last time I remember not feeling fat! And who knows? Maybe with the help of my sleeve, I'll be able to go even lower?

You are doing great. 140 will be my first goal, but I plan on sticking with it until I stop losing. We will see where that ends up. Thanks for your response.
