    1. What is your goal? My goal is to see 125 lbs... I have a little over 10 pounds to go!! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now!
    2. How will you know when you get there? That day I hop on the scale and those numbers pop up!
    3. What will you do to celebrate? Oh my gosh..I don't know..have a party!! I want to reach this goal before my 30th birthday....which is in January. I have been very slow to lose weight and know the holidays will hit hard so I really need to get my mind focused now! and hit the treadmill which I haven't been doing lately!!!!!!!

    1. My goal is to reach 150 pounds (or a weight that will feel comfortable for my body...150 is still 4 pounds "overweight" for my height...but I think I'd look stick thin if I went much smaller than that...once I'm out of obese I'll be happy, although of course I will keep going)

    2. I will know I'm there when I see 150 on the scale and can shop at regular clothing stores.

    3. Once I reach my goal and maintain it for 3 months I am buying a new car. I've wanted one for a long time, but I'm making myself earn it...I figure it will take me 2 years to get to my goal weight if I lose 2 pounds per week, so this goal will take me awhile to achieve, and the car will be well worth it. I'm thinking maybe a VW Jetta...silver...convertible...so I can show off my cute little body lol

    My goal is about 145

    I will know when I reach it when I step on the scale and that wonderful number comes up

    I have been thinking about getting a Tattoo and maybe going on a shopping spree.

    1. Lose 100lbs which will put me at 145, a number both my doctor and I have agreed on :smile:
    2. Scale baby scale.. I want to look down and see those numbers and not my tummy! :grumble:
    3. I have two planned celebrations.
    a. I plan on throwing one massive big party in my back yard, the drinks will be flowing, and you are all invited! :drinker:
    b. I am orginally from Iowa, they have a bike ride across the state each year called RAGBRI, It is held in July and I am really hoping I will have made my goal by then and I intend to celebrate my new fitness by completing the 7 day ride from one end of my home state to the other!:tongue:

    1) Goal = 125 lbs.

    2) My tummy and back will fit between my hands & also I will try on a bikini for the first time in my life!! I will feel lighter and at the height of happiness. I know that feeling. I've done it before (10 years ago).

    3) My family trip to Cayman Islands.

    1. My ultimate goal is to weigh 125 pounds
    2. The alarms will go off when I step on the scale!!!!
    3. I am going to Key West wearing hot pants and go-go boots!

    My friend cut out pictures of Key West, Hot Pants and GoGo boots and taped them to my desk when I started on MFP.

    It was a joke then, it is a GOAL now!!

    Well my goal weight is 135. (I am 7.5 lbs away now)

    I will know when the scale and my clothes tell me.

    I have no idea! I will have lost 135 lbs to weigh 135!! I may decide to go a little further...to like 130, etc......not sure yet. I will just see how I feel. If I do that, I will just take my time with it. I might work on maintaining first. I should party though! LOL!

    1. Goal weight 140lbs, but I'll be satisfied with 145lbs (I'm a very curvy girl and regardless of how much weight I've lost in the past, my chest and butt NEVER go down, so I would be okay with being a little "overweight" for my height)

    2. When my tummy is more or less flat

    3. A new belly ring (a really extravagant one that screams "Look at my flat tummy!")

    A bike buddy of mine did this ride. He gained 5 pounds. Every little town you pass through all the people come out and give you tons of food including homemade pie.

    You'd better be a few pounds below goal before this ride.

    1. <19% Body fat or about 125 lbs
    2. My legs will hopefully be rid of any cellulite and my tummy will be totally flat...maybe some abs depending on where my body fat is at that point
    3. I'll probably dance around in my skivvies and then go bathing suit shopping! :laugh:

    1. What is your goal? My ideal weight is 145. I have about 5 pounds to go.
    2. How will you know when you get there? I know when the scale says so for about two weeks.
    3. What will you do to celebrate? I am planning on buying those Manolos that I have been eyeing for about 3 years!

    1. Goal to get to 145 but I'm considering changing that. I don't think the weight is as important asthe muscle tone and how I feel. I'm thinking that 155 would look fine and be easier to maintain....but we'll see as I get closer. My original weight was 256 and I wanted to loose 108 pounds.

    2. I'll know I'm there when I feel good and I'm able to maintain without obsessing about it.

    3. I celebrate a little every month. But, hopefully, if I get the the big goal I'm going to celebrate by taking a long cruise and go on an art tour in Italy and Greece. That's dependent upon a number of goals though, not just my weight loss goals.

    I can hardly believe it myself some days!! It really didn't take me that long! I mean, a few days shy of 15 months to do this. Just slow and steady but it happened!!

    1. My goal is to weigh 150 lbs.
    2. When I see that number on the scale!
    3. I haven't thought about this, but I love to travel so I will probably treat myself to some sort of trip.

    My goal is to fit back into all the adorable dresses and clothes I wore right after highschool when I had an office job and nothing better to spend my money on. I am hoping I can do it at around 145 pounds but I am thinking I will have to be closer to 135 to get them buttoned.

    I will know I have reached my goal when I can comfortably wear my favorite white sundress.

    I will take my kids to the beach and actually be able to focus only on them and not how uncomfortable I am in a swim suit!
    Maybe I'll let myself tag alone on my friends next trip to Paris. I am always invited but never comfortable enough to go.

    2. My scale will show the magic numbers and I will fit into my old (new) jeans again that I only wore twice and then got to fat for!
    3. I am tryign to reach my goal by April 23 when we go to Florida for 2 weeks. So its not only a reward, but also motivation!
