    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.

    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.

    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!)

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    No timeframe, it will take as long as it has to.
    It's always easier to have a goal, because then you have a way to push yourself to do it and when it should get done by. If you just say, "well sometime next year" The next year will come and then you will say, "well, okay, sometime next year" it will not get done in a timely fashion. Then, you go on ten years later saying, "ugh, I should have done this twenty years ago".
    I don´t want to think monthes or years ahead.
    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.

    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.

    I'd like to lose 25--30lbs by the end of the year. I really hope that's a realistic goal, though.

    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)
