in Health and Weight Loss
Greetings!
I am pretty sure everyone here has probably been on the weight loss bandwagon quite a few times and unfortunately kept falling off for some reason or another. I'm turning 30 in Dec 2015, and decided no more ups and downs- time to make serious and long-term changes. It is definitely easier to keep on track when others are holding you accountable. I'm aiming for 1200-1500 calories intake/day + 10,000 - 15,000 steps 4x/week with the ultimate goal of losing 40-50lbs before Dec 2015.

Thought it would be motivating for everyone interested to state their weight loss birthday goal. Feel free to add me!

    Well today I was measured at 25% bodyfat which made me so happy! But by my birthday (September 24th) I'd like to be at 20% and then maintain from there.

    My birthday is in July and I should be at my goal weight by then. I have about nine pounds to go. My only hiccup is that I am moving around then so there will be days of traveling and eating out.

    I would love to be in the mid-130's for my birthday in April. I have NEVER been in the 130's as an adult - I was always 150 or higher. I am currently 143 so I think it is doable :). Good luck to everyone!

    I started last March with a goal of reaching 130 pounds by my 30th birthday, that was a goal of losing right around 50lbs. I'm happy to say, with just over two months left until the big day, I've reached that goal. I'm now working on becoming more fit and learning to love my body for what it is

    I have very little time, lol. I guess my birthday goal could be just a couple of pounds.

    30 is a great age to be :)

    My goal is "fit by 40". I'll be 40 in May and won't be at my goal weight, but at least I'll weigh less than I do now and I'll hopefully hit it sometime this year!

    I have approximately 80 days until my birthday. My last weigh in this past friday was 237.2lbs bringing up to a 17.2lb loss in 45 days. I'm setting a goal of 210lbs which is 27lbs in 80 days. I hope this is doable

    Well, I was supposed to be near my goal weight by my birthday at the end of May. Unfortunately, April was a train wreck and yikes! it's nearly mid-May, so I definitely won't get there. But ABSOLUTELY by my next birthday!

    My birthday is in 4 weeks. I'd like to achieve the milestone of a loss of 25 pounds since the beginning of the year. I'm down 22 as of now, so that's another 3 pounds. This is a realistic goal and just another stepping stone to the next goal of having a body mass under 25. I'm 10 pounds from a normal body mass. Maybe I could get there by July 4th.

    I have found that setting a goal day with a specific # lost by that day has generally been extremely counterproductive for me. My 28th birthday is on January 28 - my goal is to weigh less then than I do now. Maybe I'll be at my first goal weight (about 30 more pounds to go), but maybe not and that is ok. My other goal is to be in better physical shape on my birthday than I am today. Totally achievable goals for me!

    I've got another 2 weeks until my birthday and i'd like to get under 90kg until then. I've already lost 5kg. The next big date is the school reunion in December, I'd like to be at goal weight then, which is 75kg.

    My birthday is in June. It would be nice to be down at least another 3 pounds by the end of that month so I would have lost 25 lbs total.

    Hi in October I set a birthday goal to walk every day. Well that has not happened! I had off two months but I have tried to walk almost every single day even if only for 30 min! I planned hopefully to be 180! Well being I still have 5 months I think that is very possible as I hit 219 yesterday! And I do much more than walk every day now! :D
