Default Goal weight vs "right" weight?

I listed my goal weight as 160lbs. I am 5'8 and Id say solid frame. Im not pettie, or alteast I never have been. I dont know what my actual goal weight is? I just want to feel healthy and look good. I can never remember being smaller than a size 10 so I figure that would be a good size to be. I was 305 b4 surgery and Im down to 233, im in month 4 post op. I dont want to look sucked up or unhealthy, anyone know what a good size or goal weight would be for someone 5'8 with a medium frame? Anyone else have issues about this?

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
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.

Have You Asked Your Doc? Of Course Everyone Is Built Differently But I Think You Will Know When You Get There. Thats Why My Doc Doesnt Like To Really Have A Set Wait As A Goal For Me He Said We Will Know When I Get There And Body Will Let Me Know

I have a goal weight myself, but I am going to eye it once I get down. As you stated, I dont want to look unhealthy on the other end of it.

HONESTLY my surgeond goal was best for me....
and thats were my body stopped looseing.
FOR My body build being at 167 was
fitting in size 8 jeans and that to me \
was an ideal size for my structure.
I am 5'5 and 46 years old.

I always thought when i was in my first
year i wanted 10 more lbs off but my
body stopped there and i can live with this
size.
I never imagined being under a 14!
hugs
see as you go what the numbers look like\
and make mini goals for yourself. thats HOW I
DID IT.

FIRST goal getting under 300.
then to loose my first 50
then to get under 250
then to make my first 100 lbs
then to be under 200
and worked towards those mini goals first.
then when i was under the 200 i figured
out what was right for my body frame!
GOOD LUCK

yes I dont have a certian goal weight either. I put one down in here but I dont really know what my goal weight. Like Boots said, my surgeon said I will know when I get there. So I too would be happy getting to a size 10. That is my goal in my head right now but who knows.

I originally went for 145....but I would take anything between 150-160...I'm just under 5'8'' and when I was younger, I was around 151. This put me into a 6 or 8 jeans...which I'm fine with and would love to get back into...I am realistic about it...I'm 42 years old and I've had 2 kids...I know I will never look like I did in high school!

I always heard the rule of thumb was start at 100 and add 5 pounds for every inch over 5 feet...that would mean 5'8'' would be 140. I think for my frame, that would be too thin....I think there are averages; but it's also about where you feel comfortable!

Lisa, I think you are plenty thin for your current size and I'm about your height so I'll just use your wt for a goal (actually I listed 170 from the start) My "head goal" for my ideal wt would be 150. I cant imagine me at 125 - I flew past that at around 9-10 years old!
