Hey, I have a question. How do you come up with your goal weight and how many achieve that goal. My goal weight is 160 lbs and it seems everyone else's is much lower (I saw someone's at 109 lbs!) I think my goal is realistic, I should be able to reach it (and without too much of that flabby skin). What do you think?

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

my dr set mine based on my height and frame. some people set their own. some people set them higher some people set them lower, it all depends. my drs goal for me was 20lbs higher than the one i have posted in my stats which is probably more realistic for someone my height. i figure i will challenge myself...we'll see if i make it

It Has Alot To Do With Your Height And Frame. My Doc Doesnt Want To Put A Goal Down He Wants To See How Things Go As We Move Along. I Set My Goal At I Think 115. Im Only 4'11 In Height.

I am large framed and 5'10" tall. My PCP wanted me at 165 but I think 155 would be nice. It still sounds large, but I know with my build and frame, 155 might be a tad too thin.

It's best not to set too low a goal, as that will stress you out. One way to figure out some sort of goal is to calculate what your weight will be at BMI 25, as that is the lowest end of overweight, and BMI24.9 will put you in the normal range. So weight that will put you around BMI24-25 probably is realistic, and feasible. If your start BMI is over 50, set an intermidiate goal at BMI 29, as that will put you in the overweight range, is a good one. Then, you can go from there to BMI 24-25. BMI Calculator
