Curious to see how many post oppers have hit the 10's?

[JO28172]

I'd always said I'd get to 11 and stop but since being told I'd be perfect at 10.4 I've revised my plan...but 10.4 OMG how low is that compared to pre op life! Just wondered how many people have got to the 10s or even 9s

Might it be more helpful to ask what BMI people have got to Jo as weight depends on height?
When I was a teenager I always wanted to be under 10 stone as I thought girls should weigh less than 10 stone but I think I'd be too thin in the 10's at 5ft 10ins.
At 11 stone my BMI would be 22.
How tall are you Jo, and what would your BMI be at 10st 4lbs?

Good point! I'm a titch at 5ft4 so 10.4 would give me bmi of 25! Too late now but hopefully some will read this

Yes Im happy with that weight.
I hope to stay under the 10 stone mark now.
If I can maintain between 9 1/2 and 10 stone I will be happy

Is that true? I used to be 5'3" but am now only 5'2" - is it something to do with posture when over weight? Interesting!

I'd be thrilled to get that extra inch back post-op

I'm hoping to get to between around 9 and half stone which will give me a BMI of about 23 but I'm concerned incase this weight isn't maintainable as I don't want to set myself up for failure. The last time I was anywhere near that weight was when I was 17 (almost 20 years ago ) and I was 10 and a half stone. I felt over weight then so I'd rather get below 10 if I can x

Yeap very true my weight management team still can't believe I lost weight and gained inches.
I tell everyone to check their height every so often it helps you BMI

Hi I'm 5'4.5" currently weigh 11st 8lbs or there abouts my BMI is 27.4 down from 19st 2lbs with a BMI of 44. My personal target is 9st 7lbs as from what I've seen my weight range for my height is between 8st 7lbs and 10st 7lbs. I set my target of 9st 7lbs at half way between the upper & lower bounds so I have a 1st lea way if I can't get to it due to excess skin stopping me or indeed my body saying enough is enough but am at or below that upper limit with a healthy BMI that's fine, or if I reach my target but can't master the maintainence diet & continue to lose I have a stone before I really need to panic. I will also be guided by my BMI once I hit a healthy level of 25 or just below.
Hope that helps.

Your all amazing and so inspirational. The thought of getting to below 10 stone is something I'd only ever dreamed about. Big hugs all round xx
