    My goal is to be 159 by June 14 (I'm currently 163). Then 155 by July 20. Then 145 by Oct 13. Then 140 by end of the year. This is a super slow goal for me, but I lose slowly. Sometimes I want to be more aggressive but whenever I do that, I fail. So I'm trying this new slow approach.

    Was to hit 122lbs before my vacation, but I crushed that and hit 120 with 1.5 days to go. I may even hit 119? Not sure, but signs are pointing to probably. This is the bottom of my maintenance range and it is my full intention to gain a few lbs back on this trip. Also will start lifting the week after next...I have serious cardio bod problemz. :neutral:

    My short-term goal is to get 7.4 lb off in 22 days. That's possible with my average daily loss, but not possible with any excursions from plan.

    That would put me at or below 220 for my birthday.

    my goal is to get under 200lbs by my daughter's high school graduation 6/25

    I started at 230 in january
    currently weigh 206

    199 is sooooo close!!! I haven't weighed under 200 since my daughter (who is graduating)...was a baby...so 18 years ago! I am going to be beyond happy!

    That is my goal too!! I started at 244 on January 15. I'm now 208.6. My son's graduation is 6/17 and I wanted to be 199 lbs by then. I probably won't reach my goal, but I should be close.

    Well my goal was to just get to 115 without stopping. But I'm 80 pounds down now, 128, and thinking if I want to just do maintenance and recomp for a while.

    I love this thread! Have many goals right now--one of my goals is to be able to kick as$ in an advanced vinyasa yoga class at the studio I joined recently--I've completed five yoga classes so far--hoping to rock that vinyasa flow business by September 1st! Also, my mini goal is to lose five lbs at a time--if I focus on my long-term weight loss goal, I get overwhelmed, so I just take it five at a time. B)

    I restarted my mfp journey on 3/21/2016 and my first goal was to lose 10 pounds (132 to 122) which I accomplished on 5/12! My next goal is to weigh 115lbs by the end of June and my ultimate goal is to weigh 105-110 before college starts.

    To get under 150. I managed to get down to 150.6, but switched from tons of running to mostly lifting and some HIIT and my weight loss stalled, crept up, stalled, and then I got lax for a month. 154 now and back on track.

    @sindirella21 those shoes rock!

    Being a nerdy finance gal, I've got a whizzy spreadsheet chock-full of data with graphs and charts. And I love that I can download all my fitbit data into this spreadsheet.

    My goals are split into 'short-term', 'mid-term', 'long-term', and 'anything else is gravy'. None of them are dated because I don't like the pressure of trying to get to somewhere by a certain date. I've passed all my short-term goals - they included things like losing 5lbs, losing 5% of my body weight, and getting to a particular weight.

    I've just passed all my mid-term goals too. The latest one being losing 10% of my body weight. And I'm now halfway through my long-term goals. The next one I'm aiming for is losing 21lbs - I'm very close, and could probably get there this week, but seeing as it's my wedding anniversary tomorrow, and a slap-up meal and champagne are planned, it ain't gonna happen. Maybe next week.

    I've been a yo yo dieter for years 17st at my heaviest and 13st 7lb was the lowest I could ever get to on every diet I did so my first goal was to get below that 13st 7lb, I've managed it recently and I'm currently 13st 1lb, my next goal is to see a 12 on the scales. My exercise goals when I started was to last 5 minutes on the cross trainer, now I can do 30 with ease, I'm running, planking, doing weights. Every week I try something new and continue to push myself without being scared anymore

    I just hit one of my mini-goals last week when from obese to simply overweight. Never thought I'd be so happy to be overweight!

    Right now, I'm working on getting to 175 lbs because that's the weight I was at when we got engaged. (Unlike most people, I actually gained weight before the wedding and I'm already below my wedding weight).

    I'm also about halfway though C25K, so I really want to finish that.

    I am 4 lbs away from being at the very top of the 'normal' end on the bmi chart! I know they're not always accurate, but I can't wait to be classified 'normal' again after a very long while in the overweight range:)

    My first goal is 20lbs, which I'm 5 lbs shy of. Next goal is to be under 200lbs by the end of this year. I started at 257 in march, currently at 242 so I feel I'm on track and should hit my goal by mid-October. Fitness goals mostly revolve around weight lifting. I want to squat 200lbs by the end of the year, currently at 130 so I have quite a challenge ahead of me.

    I'm below my wedding weight, my first date weight, and any weight my wife has ever seen me in 36 years.

    My short term goal was to reach less than 155 pounds (starting at 161) within 10 weeks. I'm just over 5 weeks in, and the last time I weighed myself a few days ago I was 155.2 pounds.

    The long term goal is to be less than 10% body fat, which I'm guessing is somewhere around 150 pounds, but we'll see.

    I am 46yrs old. When I started 50 weeks ago I wanted to loose weight to the point that my gut and luv handles were gone, and get in much better shape. I was practically out of breath just bending over to tie my shoes. I have been exercising and working out 5 times a week since the start and am in much better shape. I can jog 3-5 miles now and not feel like I am going to die! I started out at 226.6lbs and am now down 52.3lbs and currently weigh 174.3lbs. I still have a little fat in the belly and luv handle area but I am almost there!

    Nice! I was up to 128.5, but I've jacked up my elbow and am having to take some time off from lifting. When I'm able to get back, I'm going to have to de-load... :'(

    You'll have that 100 in no time!

    My goal is to be at 145 by my Bermuda Cruise on June 17. 8 pounds to go. I don't think I will make it, but I will be super happy if I am at least 149! :) I am down 30+ pounds since January, so doing well.

    I will then shoot for another 10 pound loss by the time school starts again in September. Teacher here!

    Oh thought of another one.

    To actually run the stupid 5k with the jogging stroller in under 35 minutes. For some reason that thing and me do not get along and I can run a 5k without it just fine but when I try to run with my daughter I just can't keep pace/rhythm.
