Guest guest Posted November 27, 2001 Report Share Posted November 27, 2001 Tracey, at 5'3 " that is entirely possible. See the Met Life Height and Weight Table for more information on " ideal " body weights. http://www.metlife.com/Lifeadvice/Tools/Heightnweight/ BTW, you should take all of these numbers with a grain of salt. In fact, use an entire salt block. Body weight doesn't correlate with body size. I was (at one point in time) 160lbs at 5'2 " and was wearing a size 10. I can't imagine getting any smaller than that, but I suppose I will after surgery. If that's what I am a 160, though, I'd be happy to be there again. - At 1:55 AM -0800 11/27/01, Mrs Tracey Owen wrote: >Goals.... >I was talking to my surgeon and he said that he feels that it is within my >power to reach 70kg's <154lb>(60kg's <132lb> with weight training and >cosmetic surgery -such as Tummy tick, thigh lift and have my bat wings >clipped).

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2001 Report Share Posted November 27, 2001 Thanks I checked out that site and it states that I should be between 131-147lb's. So If I take that away from my weight now (302-140=162lb...80% of 162lb=130lb) so realistically I could maybe get to 170lb (77kg's). Would you think this was more realistic and attainable???????????

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2001 Report Share Posted November 28, 2001 At 6-2 and with a large frame, my " ideal " weight by the charts would be about 200 pounds. I weigh 240 now, and my son pointed out to me that I look " bony " nowadays....now, i DO have a lot of hanging skin (though I have had an abdominoplasty) and a bit of a pot gut that is mostly loose skin and muscle (weird feeling) so I guess I could lose some more, but I lost a good bit of muscle in the weight loss, too, which I am going to put back on. I think that 225 would be more the ideal, and, frankly, if I never get below where I am now, I'll be quite content, thank you very much. <smirk> Ford Re: GOALS Tracey, I think you should not fixate on a number and go by how you feel and how your clothes fit. Many docs don't give a " target weight " due to the potential for feelings of failure. Yes you COULD be 131, but you may not be and if you are fixated on that number and you end up being 150, you could end up being very disappointed. My Met Life numbers say I could be 125! Sheesh! Unbelievable, but true...I could be. But I KNOW that after my liquid diet I was a size 10 at 165 and I was VERY happy with that, so I don't care about the 125 number looming over my head. Muscle mass, fat distribution and water retention will all have an effect on the Number, so don't fret over it. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2001 Report Share Posted November 28, 2001 If I could get to 80kg (roughly 175lb) I would be so over the moon that you would hear me screaming from there (and I live in Australia hehehehehehehehe). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
