Are you trying to hit your goal weight by a specific date?

I'm hoping by christmas 2012. I would love to start off the new year at my goal weight or somwhere around there.
I think its good to have a goal so you hold youself accountable, but it also has to be obtainable so you can't give up.0 -
No timeframe, no goal weight, when jiggly things that shouldn't jiggle don't then I am there.
^^^^^^THIS....I do have a goal weight, but no timeframe.0 -
I want to lose at least 50 more lbs by January 21st which is when we are going on our cruise.. its its roughly 6 months away so its less than 10 lbs a month!0

July 4, 2013. I'm going on a road trip to California and I'd love to wear a bikini for the first time!!0

I don't necessarily want to get to my goal weight - mainly because it's not set in stone yet as I don't know what would be a good weight for me to get to really, I'll see how it goes - but I'd like to feel a lot happier with what I look like on my 21st birthday, which will be in June So I have almost a year! Also that would tie in around graduation time so that would be good too (assuming I graduate ha!)0

I want to go sky diving for my birthday on August 22nd and they charge you per pound if you are over 190. That was my first goal. I broke 190 last week!0

WOW!!! Congratulations! You are sooo AWESOME! I just did a happy dance for you:flowerforyou:0

I hope to lose 81 pounds in 1 year, 5 months, and 5 days. That's starting May 1st 2012 and ending October 5th 2013 (my 33rd birthday). I can definitely do this if I continue to lose 1.2 pounds a week as I have been.
When I reach my goal, I won't bother with a timeline on how I'm gonna lose that last 5 pounds of fat. I'll just take my time and eat a little bit below maintenance while continuing to lift weights.
I'm the kind of person who has to have a goal set and a way to get there already laid out with deadlines in-between. If not, I become the procrastination queen.0 -
So glad to see that you have a "goal" in mind, currently my goal is mostly for "better health" but would probably do better if I had something in mind. Hmmm let me see, "How about working out for at least one hour 4 times a week?"
Have a great day!! Sincerely

It's a lame, teenager-sounding goal, but before the start of the new school session, preferably. So I have about 7 weeks.0
-
I would like to be 160lbs by my 53rd birthday in April but if I'm not there yet, I won't break down and cry:) It is a miracle I am under 200 even so enjoying the moment and being healthier0
-
Glad to see so many people are setting goals for themselves!0
-
I want to be at my halfway point by Halloween (my birthday), and after that I'll give myself another 6 months to lose the next 25 pounds or so. This is my hope, anyway. If it's a little slower than that, that's also fine. If it's faster, then that's even better!0
-
Not really..but just recently set one for my birthday, Aug 15 should be 125-128 lbs...Last Sunday I was 133 lbs...0
-
I would like to be at my goal size by ,ATLEAST, a week before I croak.0
-
No timeframe, it will take as long as it has to.
I focus on 1-2 lbs a week. I haven´t calculated how long that would take me because I know myself and I would just be too disappointed if I didn´t reach some BIG plan date.
I for example pay myself x mount of money for each 2 lbs I lose that way I will have money to buy new clothes when I have to buy them. I like to take one step at a time. I don´t need some timeframe.0 -
I keep trying to set a goal weight date, but it's difficult to decide. I don't want to overwhelm myself. I would like to reach goal by sometime next year, but the thing is, I've never been below 200 and have no idea what would be appropriate. So how will I even know when to stop losing weight and just maintain, ya know?
I guess I should focus less on a timeframe and more on each day as it hits me.0 -
I'd like to lose 25--30lbs by the end of the year. I really hope that's a realistic goal, though.0
-
38 lbs by January 31, 2013.0
-
Wow, do they really? I've always wanted to try that but I've never felt comfortable because of my size... but I definitely didn't know they charged if you were over 190. How much per pound would they charge a person?
I mean, I guess it makes sense.
(I know this is OT, I'm sorry. lol)0 -
Before December this year!!0
-
I am hoping my goal weight which will be 30 pounds will be met around oct or nov of this year..0
-
No timeframe, no goal weight, when jiggly things that shouldn't jiggle don't then I am there.
I totally agree! I just know there are places that have wrinkles that shouldn't yet...and bulky spots that shouldn't be bulky! I just want to be healthy and grow old with my hubby, and watch my future grandbabies grow up!0 -
Hadn't really thought about it until now. But, I think I would really like to reach my goal weight by my 40th birthday, which is in April 2013.0
-
No time frame. I truly believe if you set yourself a timeframe you will jinx yourself. It took a long time for me to get this weight on and it will take awhile to get it off. But once it's off it's off!!!0
-
<~~~~~~~~ 1 year 100lbs which would be Aug 8th of this year. Unfor I wont make it to a year since I hit that goal on Mon.
Well thats just not acceptable
Well done!! x0 -
I don't have a goal time frame or goal weight. I just want to be healthier and I've lost 27 pounds. I feel better, my bloodwork numbers are much improved, and I have more energy. I still want to lose another 25 pounds and I know it will take time and patience.0
-
Well I have a few "events" that I am looking forward to being skinnier for:
1- Going to Washington DC and New York (never been!!!) in October
2- Big family Halloween party end of October (obviously)
3- Feeling good about my appearance for the holidays from Thanksgiving to New Years
and finally the biggest one of them all.....
4- I turn 30 in April!
Of course I want to be healthy and skinny for the long haul- not just these things. However, it makes it so much more rewarding!0 -
I would like to lose 25 pounds by my birthday in December. I'm pretty sure that it is doable as long as I continue to stay on track. I would like to reach my final goal weight by Spring Break in March. I would like to actually go to a beach for once and rock my swimsuit.0
-
My goal was to lose 40 more lbs by the end of August and I have failed miserably. There is no way I'll make that goal. Hopefully by Christmas I will have lost 40 plus a little more. The way it's going now, I haven't been able to break through my plateau for months. If I do break it, I'll keep fluctuating up and down. I'm so frustrated.0
