138 lbs!

So just wanted to say that I am 5 ft 8.5 inches, and currently around 270lbs.  My Dr. said my goal weight is 138 lbs. WOAH MOMMA that is half of me!

That is really small. I am 5'8 and my doctor said my ideal weight on the charts is 154, but he wants me to get to 175...they said the rest of the weight would probably be loose skin. Yuck!

way to go. That is terrific. I am 5'8 and they want me at 130. I would be happy with 150. So far 52lbs down and 74lbs to go. But it will happen 

Yikes sis that would be smaller then me.  I'm 5'2ish and I was told 150 by my surgeon lol and I started at 307 (when i was released from the hospital)

Oh my that does seem like an awful low weight, I am eight months out and have lost to 176 and my DR has not set a goal and I really don't want to because of all the goals I tried to get to with all the other diets and not making it and how depressing that was, I am thinking I am just going to let my body decide for me!

Yeah I am not sure if he actually expects me to get that small- It was kinda like "the healthy weight for your height is 138"  I just want to be healthy- of course the perk benefits of looking better is the icing on the cake.
