How much do you want to lose?

That's the million dollar question for me. I have lost 176 and am at 200. The "charts" still consider me obese & say I should weigh 145 (at 5'8 I think I would look anoerexic). My "fat" doctor has my goal at 180. My GP and my plastic surgeon have both advised me independent of one another that I need to stop losing weight. My plastic surgeon told me I have 40 plus pounds of skin that needs to be removed. You can't diet or exercise that away. The only way to get rid of it is surgery. So I'm 200. Am I done? :drinker:
First off, congrats!!! I would talk to your doctor and get an opinion from that person too. I would say if there is 40lbs of skin and you want to be around 180 and are at 200 now, then I would think I would want to get the surgery. Surgery is scary though. If and when you do have surgery, just make sure you take car of your body and let it heal COMPLETELY before any exercising, just focus on eating right b/c I hear about too many ppl getting infections and it's just sad b/c it sets ppl back a whole lot and leaves bigger scars and makes you tired and sick. But make sure you talk to your main doctor, but also other surgeons and doctors. don't just get one or two opinions good luck!!!
And I think being 160 then toning up would look great on someone who is 5'8"!0 -
Short term goal....195 by May 19, currently 207. Date not specific to an event.
Long term goal.....182. End of my weight loss journey totaling 60lbs and, oddly enough, the beginning of a bulk cycle.
Next, who knows...more mirrors.0 -
35 more and then I will reevaluate0

I wanna be 220 by the time my birthday rolls around (may 18) so about 20 pounds. I wanna be 180 final so 61 more pounds. ALMSOT HALF WAY!0

I plan to lose a total of 90-something lbs (103 lbs from my highest weight though) I want to lose it all by my wedding in September of 20130

100 plus but 70 by sept0

18 pounds by July... but I'll settle for 11 pounds or anything more than that0
-
110.
I'm not giving myself a deadline as long as I'm losing.0 -
My first goal is 30 by my 30th (October), and my overall goal is about 70-80lbs.0

I want to reach a total loss of 61 pounds by summer- any time in summer is fine, thanks. Technically it starts June 4 for me, as I'm a teacher, but July 4 is an acceptable end date for this venture as well.0

I am almost to my original goal but it was never really about a particular weight for me. I just wanted to around 12% body fat. The closer I get to 170 I am realizing that I may not make it to the 12% mark by that weight. Trying to decide if I keep going or stick to the original plan to start putting on muscle once I reached 170.
With summer on the way I might give the cutting a while longer.0 -
I've already lost 17.5kg (38.5lbs) to date and plan on losing roughly that amount more. No goal date set as I want to make sure once it's off, it stays off!0
-
I have about 90 more to go. 40 lbs down since Mid September.. So I figure by next Christmas (2013) I should be around my goal0
-
The total I want to lose is 102
I lost 20 before MFP.. 27 more after
55 more to go0 -
48 lbs by September
I'd be happy if I lost it by the end of the year, though. I'd rather do it the right way and keep it off then be in a big hurry and hurt myself in the long term. :-)0 -

I have 44 more lbs to lose. If anyone has a similar weight loss goal please feel free to add me as a friend. I would love to connect with you. Especially if you're a mom of young ones like me. Even if you need to lose less or more, friend me anyway. I'd love to hear from you as well. :-)0 -
90 lbs in total... about 25 lbs in... SO at this point, I want to lose 65 lbs by New Years Eve!!! I already have my shoes picked out... and have been dress browsing online! Super excited!0

14lbs down!!!
Start weight: 220
Current weight: 204
Goal weight: 1300 -
I want 10 off by June!0

High Weight was 265, start weight on here 245, goal weight 155. It will take the time it takes. I do not want to set a time goal. I also have set my interim goals 10% down. Current goat 200 lbs.. the next will be 180, then 162 ... final weight will come after that! It makes my large goal seem more attainable.0
-
The highest I've ever had was 78kg, I am now at 68 kg and I wanna go to less than 60kg (what I had before starting the uni).0

I've been stuck in a rut this past month, but I really want to lose 10 pounds to hit my first goal weight, and then maybe 5 more before my friend's wedding in September!0

I was losing 54lbs in total, which is another 34lbs to go. Started in November 2010 and my goal is September 2015.0

SW: 141 lbs
CW: 110 lbs
GW: 105 lbs
Got 5 lbs to loss! I'd like to reach that goal maybe around 5-7-2012 (about 6 weeks), but if it takes longer.. it doesn't matter to me.0 -
Starting weight was 560 lbs. and I am currently @ 255 lbs. The skin surgeon wanted me at 260 lbs. for surgery (planning surgery for June, he is thinking 25 lbs. to be removed) so I am still losing a pound a week right now so I am going to continue to lose if my body gives it up til June then surgery... So after surgery and a couple more months I am guesstimating my goal weight will be 225 ish give or take and on my frame that will be darn near perfect from where I started....0

I want to get down to 155lbs. Got about 50lbs to go but I had already lost 42lbs when I found MFP. I want to be my target weight by October but if it takes longer so be it I'm just happy to be losing the Fat that's been obvertaking my life :@)0
