Question:
Starting stats: 5'3
I started at 5'3", 253.5 lbs. I am wanting to know what people with similar stats ended up at. I am 8 months out and have lost 100.5 lbs. I now weigh 153. I'm hoping to get to 125, that would put me in the middle of the ideal range for BMI. I'd love to hear from others. Thank you, Tammy — Tammy B. (posted on August 14, 2002)

I am 5'4" and started at 258. I am now 162. I am hoping to get to 135.
I was at stand still for 2 weeks but the scale is moving again. 96 lbs gone
is a great thing. Keep up the excersizing and all the good eating and we
will both reach our goal.

Hiya... I started out at similar height and weight - 5'3" weighing
259. I'm 16 months post op and now weigh 150 - that's a total of 109
pounds gone. Personally, I'd love to drop another 15 to 20 pounds but
that's just my "diet head" talking. If I didn't lose another
pound I'd be happy because I'm wearing a size 12 and can pretty much find
anything and everything I want off the rack now. I'm healthy ~ I feel good
and I don't think another 15 to 20 pounds is going to change anything
except my clothing size and I really don't want to have to start buying new
sizes.
I'm really quite happy where I am now. But your milage may vary. Everyone
has to be happy in their own body and mind. Good luck on your continued
journey!

hiya
i am 5' 1/4", pre op 268lbs
my goal weight was 135lbs, seemed to be a weight i had maintained before
with little effort
i now weight 130lbs...i'd like to lose another 3lbs to make my BMI
"normal" but am not stressing on it
it's not always the weight, look at the inches you lose and the size of
clothes post op
good luck!

I'm 5'2 and started out at 248 pounds. It's been 9 months since surgery
and I've lost 108 pounds. I want to weigh 126 so I still need to lose
about 12 pounds on my own (I had a tummy tuck last week and have at least 5
pounds of water gain right now). It's certainly possible to reach your
goal because I intend on doing it!!

Hi, I am one year and two days out. 5'4", started at 282 am now at
142. I am small boned (who ever thought I'd say that??) so I am hoping to
get to 130, the PS says my panni weighs at least 15 lbs. I am still loosing
3-5 lbs. per mo. Hope this helps!

Tammy, It seems like I am the "odd-man-out" here. I'm only 10
weeks post-op, but my goal was to get to 145-150. I am 5'3, down 60 pounds,
started at 317. It seems most my height want to get to like 125, but that
is small! I was in pretty good shape in high school at 140-150 pounds and I
looked really good. I guess it depends on your frame? Good luck.
-re-thinking my goals in weight loss :)P
