    i think that signing up for a race and having that be a goal date, is much better than saying "i need to be at this weight on this date to fit into this dress." - Capt_Apollo

    DEAD-lines. No wonder some are averse to them. LOL I guess it depends on the individual. Some people do well under pressure, some crack.

    I like Capt_Apollo's take on signing up for a race. It makes you put your money where your mouth is.

    As to the OP's original question... (setting a deadline for weight loss), my experience is that everyone is different. Some times I do everything right and I gain, sometimes I lose, sometimes I stay the same. Setting a deadline would have zero effect on that in my case.

    To me, it's more about commitment to an end result and then not quitting in the pursuit of that goal. Sometimes that means changing and adjusting what you do along the way.

    Oh yeah, Goals need to be S.M.A.R.T. that means something... I just know it does! LOL :wink:
