Goal: Have you reached yours? If not, have you revised your goal?

Just wondering how many of you have reached goal. Also has your goal changed?

I am nowhere near goal. However I am a size 12 and I am content with my size as I can now pass for "normal". Although I would prefer to be small, since this is about the size I was prior to gaining all my weight, I kind of think maybe it's where my body want's to be, if that makes sense.

So what about you? Dis you reach goal, or have your "settled"? And if so, what are your views on that?

I've reached my goal, which is a BMI of 26.5. I set my goal higher because I knew I was large framed (yeah, I know many of us said we were big boned, but my current body fat percentage is 22%, which is solidly in the middle of the "fit" range for a woman).

I'm very pleased with where I am: 5'8", size 10 jeans, shirts medium or large (my broad shoulders not my weight determine which one) but if I had set a more aggressive goal I don't know that I would have made it.

So, "settled" no. Realistic goal, yes.

I'm small boned so I would need to weigh less. :-(

 Agree  BMI is a pretty big "span",   we must  take into consideration both   "Big or Small" Boned people . God makes us all different, not  a one of us are the same, and one  ideal  weight for us all  is pretty ..  Unscientific. Just   my thinking.

I set 165 as my goal. I never made it and I'm ok with it. I'm at 180 these days and have been 186-183 for 9 months. I think my body is most comfortable at 185. My weight is a little lower these days as I recover from plastic surgery.

I don't think I settled or failed. I feel like my body found the stopping point that works. I didn't want to be emaciatedly skinny. I think curves are sexy on a woman. My health has improved significantly and that is most important for me.

Congrats on getting PS. Hope that has gone well!

What is your goal and what are you now Maria?

I had actually put my goal down on the ticker as 111. I really think closer to 100 would have been more acurate for me to be small (my Mom was like 103-107 and is taller than me). I'm 140 now and that is a size 12. (Spoke to someone recently that was a 12 also but she weighed 190. Height makes such a difference in weight distribution!!! Perhaps I don't need to lose more, I just need to get taller! lol)  Not where I wanted to be, but I can shop in the regular stores now and although I am still overwieght on the BMI scales, I can pass as normal and I don't stand out............so it's a good feeling.

Before I gained all my weight I was 134 for about 10 tears. Then the last few years I was 144. That was also a size 14, so sizes have changed. So I'm basically where I was then.

I did a trial membership at the gym this fall and it was nice to go there and "fit in".

Only 10 days out from LBL/BL. So far so good. BTW, I met my surgeon's goal, 165 was my personal goal.

Yeah, I hit my goal....Actually below goal and am now trying to gain some. I'm 5'3 and a size 4, but work out serious weight training at the gym.

I'm around 128 and and while I FEEL really healthy, I am not happy that I can see every rib and vertebrae on bones on my arm. I dropped a ton of weight again after my Gallbladder surgery, and that is WITH upping my carbs, KCals and protein. ( eating around 1300-1600 KCals a day)

I am nearly 19 months out.

Good luck to all!

Warmly,
