    Short Term (3-6 Months)
    1. Lose at least another 15lbs by end of June
    2. Do better with meeting my protein macro
    3. Be more consistent with working out

    Long Term (6-9 months)
    1. Lose at least 25lbs (total. NOT another 25 after the 15..lol. Basically lose at least another 10lbs in the 3 months after)
    2. Continue getting a better handle on portions and stopping my overeating/binges
    3. Join a gym and get over being self-conscious and over my social anxiety

    Decrease body fat percent, increase lean body mass and get more shapely legs and abs.

    I'm really working on stretching my upper body post surgery so that I can get the right form for barbell squats without risk of serious injury. This one is a huge goal of mine. I've been working on my upper body range of motion for over a year with mediocre results. :/

    My ultimate goal is to see single digit bf%, I think I'll have to get down to about 160 pounds for that. I'm currently 193 pounds and I started losing weight at 307 pounds. So if I can get to 160 this year I'll be pretty happy but I do recognize that this is a long term goal and that may or may not be feasible. But I'm definitely going to try like hell.

    Im not sure. I am in the beginning of my journey and enjoying it. I would like to stay off the sauce (not an alcoholic but I think that it hinders my loss) or at least make it like a once a month thing.

    Continue working out 3-4 days a week
    Get down to 115 and maintain using my new information of TDEE and all that.
    Compete in a figure show (or two)

    Great thread! Really awesome to read all your goals.

    My short term goals are:

    - Follow Stronglifts for 6 weeks and track my progress (then re-assess!)
    - Small caloric defecit for 6 weeks (on day 2 today—then re-assess!)
    - Reduce body fat % by a couple of points to start

    Long term goals:

    - Get down to 18% body fat by the fall
    - Do a first bulk in the fall
    - Start modifying my lifting routine to include targeted areas I want to work on (I'm a super beginner, so SL is really helping with getting used to the compounds + heavier weights + practicing form)

    Also this year I want to:

    - Run my 2nd 5k at some point and beat my first 5k time of 37:42
    - Maybe run a 3rd 5k or a 10k?? <-- big maybe!


    I'm really trying to learn and soak up all I can, and also just get in the gym and do it so I can see where I'm at and what I can accomplish and at what rate. That's why the 6-week goals of SL and cutting to start. I want to see how my body responds and then re-assess. It also helps me stay focused and not get discouraged if my 'goal' is a shorter-term one that I can re-assess as I go.

    Wow, there are some fierce people in this group! Very inspiring!

    I would like to lose 5-8 more lbs, preferably by May. I'm currently at a point where each lb should be around 1% body fat IF I don't lose much lean mass.
    Complete new rules of lifting program- probably 8-10 weeks
    Find a new program for when I finish. Maybe stronglifts...
    I would *love* to be able to do a pull up! :)

    This year I want to get down from 20%bf to somewhere in the 12-13 range (though this will come in time so its not a goal I'm going to really hold myself too accountable to).

    My strength goals are: I'd like to be able to bust out a few handstand pushups, to bench my body weight, squat 1.5bw and deadlift 2 x bw. I'm pretty confident I'll get there in the next few months.

    I quit smoking on 4/1/12 after a 48 year habit/addiction. My long term goal remains the same now as then…..stay smoke free for the rest of my life.

    My short term goal is pretty straightforward. In the next 6 months I want a flat stomach. To that end I am eating at a slight deficit to shed weight and body fat and lifting (Stronglifts) to get stronger and fitter.
