Kris, I think I'd like to be around 175. I'm currently 196 and I'm happy with my accomplishments thus far but I still need to shed more fat. I'm 5'10 with a large frame and have no desire to be skinny just shapely. I'm currently in 12's, 14's so I'd like to be maybe in 10's and 12's and that would probably do it for me.

I don't go by the charts at all. I'm 5' 10" and have a large frame...big feet, big hands, etc. My doc would like to see me at 160 but my personal goal is 195. When I get there if I still feel like I need to lose more, I'll re-evaluate.

I'm a shortie...5'1/2" I have a medium frame and have always had some shape to me even when I had a flat stomach at 125lbs (high school days :sigh::) I was pretty athletic then too so possibly some of that weight was muscle (well i'm sure of it...don't mean to sound wishy washy there, lol) My pie in the sky goal is 130 but I will probably be happy with 140 (we'll see how happy I am when I get there...it's really far away right now, lol). I may need to go lower if I am not as muscular. I hope to be though

cuz exercise makes you look good.

I am 5' 2" and have a large frame. According to the charts 120 lbs to 130 lbs should be my ideal, but I have been that low before and it just wasn't natural. My goal is 150, but if I can get smaller than that more power to me! LOL

Instead of an exact number, I set a size goal of 12. I am there now. I am 5' 9" and am about 170.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am now a size 12, 167 lbs. I am 5' 9.5 ". I obtained my goal Thanksgiving 2007. I love the band and am very happy with my decision. My surgery date was September 25, 2006. At surgery: Size 20W, 244 lbs--Currently: Size 12, 173 lbs.--Goal: Size 12, 170 lbs.

I am 5'7, wear a size 10 shoe and have very large shoulders and hands. I was 160 in high school and that was always the weight I looked best at. I am shooting for that again.

I am 5'7" and my goal weight is 195. I started this journey just wanting to be under 200 pounds for once in my adult life. I think that once I get to 195 I will re-evaluate. I really am striving to get into a size 12. I am in 14 misses now, so I do think that 12's are reachable, but not at 195. Maybe 185 will get me there? Fingers crossed! Eugenia

I am 5'5" and the "charts" say I should be at 134. I don't know if I have EVER weighed 134. But I want to get to 160 (54 more pounds) and see how I look and feel then. And take it from there. I want to be in a size 10 jeans, and am in a LOOSE 18 now. ( I really should try some 16s). But my goal right now is to get UNDER 200! Jennifer banded 7-6-06 preop- 339 current- 214
