I'm 3 months from my 1 year surgiversary and 34 pounds from my goal weight, and am trying to figure out if the goal weight I set for myself is the right one. My doctor did not give me a goal, and I'm the type of person that really need a target.

I've been checking out everyone's signatures and scouring all the threads trying to compare myself to everyone else. I know everyone loses differently, however its motivating for me to see how other people are doing, and what their goals are. The problem I'm having is that even though most people put their starting weight, current weight and goal in their signature, not many people include height, and no one puts any mention of their frame size or ability to develop muscle. The reason the muscle development part is important to me is that, I personally put on muscle very easily, and since muscle is heavy, I figure that if there is someone else out there who is 5'7" tall, but doesn't develop muscles well, I would tend to weigh more than that person, see where I'm going with this? Likewise, finding someone else who is 5'7" but has a small frame wouldn't be a good comparison either. Am I the only one who does this? I would really love to have more info, would anyone be willing to put that info out there for everyone? I, for one, would be very appreciative!

Height: 5'7"
Starting Weight: 307.9
Current Weight 179
Goal Weight: 145
Frame Size: Medium (that was shocking I really thought I was Large
Develop muscle easily?: Yes
