    neat, love the ticker! great goal:flowerforyou:

    Hi, thanks! I got the ticker from http://www.lilyslim.com - I like it better than tickerfactory because you can register just once with your email and have more than one ticker tracking differente things... (while with tickerfactory you need a password for each ticker if I remember correctly). And the graphics from lilyslim are really cute!

    Edit to add: I was testing this further and I realized that lilyslim won't accept values that are over your goal, so that could be a problem if someones goes realy mad and cycle/swim/run/walk more than what one was aiming for... so perhaps tickerfactory is the better option after all !

    I am 153, would love to be 125. I would be normal weight at 143 but I want some wiggle room so as to never be overweight again. Can't wait for that day :)

    My goal is to not be in the section of OVERWEIGHT on the chart in my doctors office.
    I started this way of life in January of this year at 225#. I have lost 55# but my goal is 140-145#, a NORMAL weight on the chart.

    I don't think I'd pay too much attention to the scale if I was feeling awesome in my clothes! But to get to AWESOME, I have about 50 more pounds!

    Hi mine is to be a 34" waist as that's what the Dr on This Morning says is the important measurement - more important than BMI. 1" to go.

    Just curious what everyone's goal is. My goal is to lose at least 45 pounds. I've been a yo-yo dieter for years and am tired of being fat. I hate that my BMI is obese!
    I have wanted to stabilize my eating habits....
    Like to have good habits, and self-control, appropriate macros.
    I also want to be able to get a good, hard workout in.
    So I have wanted to increase my fitness, while not doing myself in with my diet.

    Done.

    Now I would like to start tweaking my calories so that I can drop off some bodyfat.
    Today, I will try to keep my calorie intake at 1800cals.
    And continue to weightlift/bike ride 5 days per week.
    I'd like to see if this combination can be a pattern for a while, and see where the tape measure/bodyfat %/scale go.

    I am 5'7", and medium frame.
    Initially, my goal weight was 138lbs (I've weighed that before and liked my weight then).
    However, If I lost no lean mass and weighed that much, I'd be at 17%bodyfat. I think that's gonna be lower than I want.
    So I will aim for a bodyfat of 20%.
    Currently I am at about 27%, according to freedieting.com
    So i might aim for 145lbs to be at about 20%.
    So I need to lose about 15lbs more.

    I am really enjoying what I have achieved so far!!!!

    I want to get back to my UK size 10 (not sure what that is in the US , maybe 8?) I also want to stop feeling tired. I have about 18lbs to go (think I will have lost a couple this week and weigh tomorrow to be sure!) I am quite short so the extra 20lbs really makes a difference to how I and feel! this time I want to keep it off!

    My goal is to lose 30 lbs, get down to (and stay down at) 123. I've made some pretty significant lifestyle changes - i got to the gym for cardio and weight training 5d/wk and take yoga another day. My activity level has increased, and my food choices and portion sizes have become much healthier.

    I'm down 12 so far, so i'm getting there.

    My initial "end goal" is 125. Why do I say/write this? Because it's about where my body is cool "hanging out." However, by the Veteran's Administration standards, I should be at 119. Back when I was in the AF, I was told I should be at 109...I guess the VA makes allowances for age :laugh:

    What kind of "end date" am I giving myself? August 2013...the anniversary of when I joined MFP. It is a realistic and reasonable goal, I think. :smile:

    Here's to all of us, making the journey!

    My goal is 10% of my current weight, which is 16 lbs. I really want to lose the belly fat. I'm a true apple! Belly, no butt to speak of and bird legs! Haha!
