    Mine is to lose 4" inches off my waist. I'm working on it! Good luck to us all.

    I want to be down another 8lbs by Dec 22. When I closed out my food diary the other night it gave me a goal of being at 152.4 in 5 weeks..so that's what I'm trying for :)

    mine is really to lose 5lbs, but if I stay at my current given the holidays I would be ok with that. (although this is year I am making a strong effort to make all my holiday dishes healthier)

    3 goals.. To reach 275 (I'm currently 285), to run a total of 500 miles for the year (I'm at 408), and finally 10 pushups in a row

    I like how you have a miles per year goal. I think that's really interesting and something that I might want to look at doing. Thanks for the idea! :)

    Mine is no back pain from working out. Which means I need to figure out exactly what routines cause the pain and then alter them. Plus build up the muscles around my spine. I also want to be able to work out for at least 30 minutes at a time, vigorously, without, to put it politely, severe stomach upset.

    My goal is to be back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 152 since it will be one year on Dec 22. However, that's 12 lbs and I'm only losing half a pound a week right now.

    I have three goals:

    Start a regular Weight Lifting Program 3 days a week.
    Sign up to start taking college classes to get my degree.
    On my weekend run, run 10 miles at one time by 12/31. (at 7 1/2 miles now. I increase my distance every two weeks by one mile)

    I will hit all of these goals, as hitting all of my goals is my new "Thing"

    My MFP adventure has taught me that i can can hit my personal goals if i set my mind to it. I never had issues hitting goals at work but never really set my mind to hit healthy lifestyle choices. I am now focused all the way around.

    I didn't list my hitting my goal weight as i'll hit that by this Thursday:)

    Im averaging 2-3lbs loss per week lately... Im not going to keep my hopes up where we have the holidays.. but with careful meal/menu planning, I would be happy to see at least 10#'s gone by January 1st... I think that is reasonable to work with AND enjoy the holidays...Ive dropped 66lbs so far, so I know any loss will be a GREAT loss!

    Yep.

    My goal:
    Out of the 240's.
    At 230 approaching 220's.
    In a consistent exercise routine.

    I'm going with 5 pounds by January. It's less than a pound a week but as I've gotten closer to my goal the loss has really slowed down.

    I would like to be at a "normal" weight. For my height that would be 140. I am currentlyl around 148 depending on the day. so 8 lbs. I have been struggling to lose this last bit of weight. So I need to focus on the behaviors that will get me there, not just the goal of losing 8 lbs. So to help me reach my goal by the first of the year. I will do 3 things.....

    1- log all my food, avoid processed foods and stay in my daily calorie goal
    2- Get 30 min of cardio 5 days a week
    3- Weight train 2 days a week.

    By focusing on the tangable I hope to reach my goal.

    My goal is 10 pounds by Christmas and that would put me at losing 20 pounds in 3 months and that would be awesome.....I wanna lose a total of 90 pounds by Sept 2012 which is my 5yr wedding anniversary. :bigsmile:

    You know, I didnt, but now that I read this and think and you say MINI well i do now!
    My mini goal is to just do well over the holidays. To enjoy with my family and friends,
    join them in party mode, but stick to healthy eating. Its a mini goal year after year and
    its been able to happen always but do want to meet it once again :)

    My goal was 150lbs...that was a 10 loss from Nov 1st ..5lbs a month..but..I re-evaluated it after thinking about how miserable I was going to be over the holiday season .. and am now hoping to be 155lbs instead..a smaller weight loss is better than the weight gain I ended up with last year!!!

    i'm somewhat optimistically aiming at a stone by my son's birthday in jan - that will have me back to my weight when he was conceived. but generally i'll be happy to lose rather than gain over christmas as i haven't been rocking the will power lately.
