    My goal is to lose another 50#. I did WW last year and lost 40# but got off track since Thanksgiving and have gained back 10#. I was just thinking this morning about how long it takes to lose 40 and how fast the 10 comes back on. Booo!!! I've been trying to get to the gym each morning to get at least 30 minutes of cardio in. Some days I will go pick up a class like Zumba or Turbo Kick after work. Just did a bootcamp class on Saturday that was horrendous...I'll definitely be going back!

    Long term weight loss goal is 135 final weight. That's over 50 lbs from my current weight. I am 21 weeks pregnant, so my short term goal is to maintain my current weight for the remainder of my pregnancy (already approved by my physician). I was very sedentary prior to pregnancy. I am utilizing moderate walking for an hour/ 6 days week, and hopefully better diet to maintain.

    Long Term Weight Goal: Down 47 lbs. total from today
    Short Term Goal: A) 20 lbs down in 90 days
    B) Run (well, really jog) a mile in 15 minutes
    C) Workout consistently 5 days a week
    D) Lose at least 3 inches from my waist
    E) Try a new recipe twice a month

    I plan to reach these mini goals by eating healthy meals & snacks, exercising frequently with at least 15 minutes of high intensity, running 3 days per week, and dedicating two days a month to new recipes.

    The only challenge I could face that would stop me from reaching these goals are me, and I don't plan on getting in my way. Therefore, I have no challenges. Looking forward to knocking these out the park!

    My long term goals are: To lose 35 lbs
    To do this I need to: Log my food/exercise everyday, stay within my calorie limits, Eat a clean diet - more whole foods, Exercise 5 days a week, plan my meals and find alternatives to eating when I'm stressed or bored

    My long term goal is to keep myself at a healthy weight once I lose my weight. I have lost the same 20 lbs. over and over again. Continue to eat healthy and to use the tools, such a "myfitnesspal".
    My short term goal is to lose 14 - 17 lbs. by September as our daughter is getting married. I am more motivated when I have something special to lose the weight for.
    My main obstacle will be doing more exercise as I get closer to goal. The closer I get to goal the harder it is to get the weight off.

    The weather is getting warmer here in Montana so will make exercising easier and more enjoyable.

    My long term goal is actually to quit smoking forever and not gain weight, but lose instead and get healthy
    My long term dietary goal is to get to about 135 (40 pound loss)
    My short term goal would be to get to 150 by the time I leave on my birthday cruise in August
    Sending best wishes and thoughts to everyone!

    The holiday kind of de-railed me. I kept my Diary and entered it late for one day which took my streak away and started over. Guess I am trying to get to know the sight and the program. Will have to enter them in my mobile device. Did really pretty well with eating and exercise but had a challenge when traveling and eating at Graduation Parties.

    Long Term Goal: 120 (or wherever I'm happy at) for 170lbs lost total.

    Short term Goal: 258 by my 27th birthday (August 23), which is the end of this challenge...go figure.

    Short Short Term Goal: Log in to MFP every day and be honest.

    Possible setbacks: binge eating, stress, time management, it's hot in the summer and I hate heat and humidity. My boyfriend is deciding not to actively join me on this weight loss journey, so that's a concern for me. Consistency has been a problem. I'll be on target for a couple weeks, lose some weight, then fall back into old habits.

    Long-term Goal: 100 lbs

    Short-Term Goal (90 days): 15 lbs

    When I reach my goal, I feel like I'll feel better about myself and will be able to enjoy all of my activities more.
  • Long term goal: 38 pounds

    Short term goal: (90 days) 15 pounds

    I want to do this the healthy way. I want to be fit not just skinny. I have already noticed more stamina and my pants now fit right out of the dryer :) It's the little things that you notice.

    Hi!
    My short term goal would be to loose about 10 - 15 lbs
    My long term goal will be to maintain that size, continue to eat and live healthy. My son gets married in Dec I the keys, I would love to have a nice lean shape for that.
    Possible set backs, disappointed when my size is not budging (like the last two weeks), my major concern is the 7day cruise I leave for on fri. My favorite part of a cruise is dressing up for dinner, and the dinners are fabulous! So cool trying new foods. I usually get whatever my server recommends for the evening. It's going to be a hard time for me. But I have already asked if the kitchen can provide me with the calories of what I'm getting and they can. I will try to skip lunch and have a very light breakfast.

    My long term goal is to reach 125 lbs. I'm aiming to lose around 8 lbs during this challenge. That will leave me with just 8 lbs to go, maybe by the end of September. And when I reach 125 lbs, I'm going to make sure I stay there.
