What is the right goal weight for you/me?

I'm 5'4" and have never been skinny...always, um..."solid" I guess is a good word for it.  Even when I was younger I wasn't thin skinny...I had muscle and substance.  Make sense? Anyway, I've set my goal weight at 140 because I wonder if I'd be too thin any lower than that.  It's been a million years since I was that small. I might/probably will change it as I approach it...if...when...*crosses fingers*. What is ideal for you and how tall are you?  Those of you at goal....what is your weight and height so when we all peek at your profile pics we can visualize it? The charts are full of crap...we all know that. Thanks!!

Great Post!  According to the "charts" my highest weight should be 170 because I'm 5'9 and have a large frame. My doctor never really did set a goal for me, but my personal goal is 200 lbs. I figure once I get there, I'll re-evaluate and see if I'd like to change it.

Hi Kris I wasn't sure what to set my goal weight at.....I used the BMI chart as a reference and I am 5'7.5" so I went with 145 as my goal weight.  I'm gonna try my absolute hardest to get to that by October, I know a very lofty ambition as that is about 13 lbs a month but I want to be at goal SO MUCH for my wedding! Good luck to you, wish me the same please! Linda K

Hi!  What day in October are you getting married?  My 15th anniversary will be October 23rd!  Just wondering if you will be close to that. Jennifer Banded 7-6-06 preop- 339 current- 214 goal ?????

My 7th anniversary is the 20th of October! :)

I'm 6 ft tall and my wish-upon-a-star goal is 180.

Once upon a time I weighed 140 and was a size 8, but 3 kids later.....not a chance in hades...and I'm okay with that

 

I am 5'5" and weight 130 lbs. I want to get to 120 but everyone says no so what do you think?

I think you look terrific!!!!  But with that said, I think it is what you feel healthy and comfortable with.  ~Ann~

Look at that tiny little waist! You look amazing, good for you! I would say that 120 is probably TOO skinny! Ever think you would have that problem? LOL

Man...I hope I look half as good when I'm there!!  My 5 year old son is my "weightloss heart" and he tells me I'm beautiful now and hopes I'm still beautiful when I get skinny.
