HA!  It was hard to watch that ticker number change but I knew in my head that I wanted that goal weight to be my "ideal" weight.  So, I bit the bullet.  LOL  But I at least waited until I didn't have to see 50 lbs to go!  This goal has me at 100% EWL.  Ambitious but why not give it a shot, right?!

Thanks to all who have shown me that 100% IS possible!

Good for you!  I am thinking about revising my goal downward, also.   But I'm going to wait until I achieve the original goal first.  I need that success to keep me going.  I'm in the mid-range of "overweight" BMI, which is ok with me, but I still have a pot belly, and I'd like to have a flat belly again.  So my belly size will be my guide rather than a number of the scale.

best wishes for your journey.  I can't wait to hear your good news when you reach your goal!

Thanks!  And I completely get that.  I thought about keeping it there for the exact same reason!  That first real goal reached will be amazing.  You're so close!!!

I so admire those who can get down to 100% EWL!!!  I was about 5 pounds shy at my lowest but I was pretty happy there. 

Proud of you gurl, go get it!!!

Thanks lady!  If I don't get there, I'm not sweating it.  But why not just admit it's what I'm hoping for, right?!  haha  If I do as well as you I'll be a success, 100% EWL or not!

I set my goal at the beginning to put me a what I think will be a healthy number that should be doable with the aid of VSG. At the time I set it, I did not really believe I could achieve it.  After all, I have never been successful, bla, bla bla.  I have not been in the 170's since my early 20's! Today, I believe if it want it bad enough, I believe I can get there.  Once there, I will evaluate how I look and feel.

Dito......Thanks for all who have shown all of us that this is possible!

That's how I was, too...and as I started breezing in the neighborhood of my original "I don't think this is possible" goal I just thought, Why the heck not go for gold.  haha  

I am not saying it's easy but this is the first time I've ever considered it possible and that's pretty huge.

I have my end goal set to lower than I ever remember being, but at the low end of "healthy standard weight" for my height. I figure why the hell not shoot for a weight that I would be unequivocally happy with? So 125 it is. I've been 135 in the last 15 years (after a year-long weight-loss effort, I lost 75 pounds), and that was great, but this time I have 180 pounds to lose, and will be working my sleeve to help me get there. I don't see why it wouldn't be possible.
