Are you afraid to set your goal at a normal BMI?

Thanks for posting this. As a newbie, this is something I have questioned as well. My surgeon said he would set my goal weight at 205-210. He said that I have a very large frame and felt that the normal BMI  (~175 ) for me would be too much. I have set my personal goal at 190. I did this because I can't remember the last time I was under 200. I will evaluate along the way to see how good I feel, which is what's important to me.  As long as I'm healthy, I will be happy. I am so ready for Surgery this Thursday!

My surgeon did not set a goal, I set my own goals throughout the whole process. 140 - feel that's a sexy weight for me. Still have curves.
