I would like to lose another 50 pounds. I know it sounds like an awful lot but I am going for it. I have a trainer now and the scale has began to move so the exercise will help me get closer. I really have to work on keeping my food under control and I know I can make it happen!

girl 50pounds is very doable , i am aiming for 40-50pounds loss by end of the year tooo.
If we keep the ball rolling at this pace, hell there is no way to stop us!

I am aiming to be under 200, or as close to getting to ONEDERLAND as possible.

lol i would die if i ever come near the hundreds in pounds

I also want to lose 40-50 by the end of the year. And I want to be able to walk further with less knee pain, I have a couple of milestones this year

my 50th birthday and getting married. Maybe surving the rest of the year would be a better goal! Ha!

I want to hit my halfway mark by the holidays so I can prove to my family I can do it and also hope to have enough discipline by the holidays to make good decisions and not have to regret what I eat the next day. If I can lead by example than maybe some of my family who are really obese and unhealthy and who want to lose weight but seem to always fall of the wagon will see it CAN be done and take a step in the right direction. ACTIONS speak more than WORDS! This is true in weight loss and exercise decisions we make too!

i see everyone on here saying they want to lose 40-50 lbs by 2013. re you adding on to previously lost weight? becaus if not thats like 10 lbs a month. is that heathy? and is it pssible? if it is, can someone please tell me how? my goal by the new year was around 20 lbs, about a month. not trying to be a downer, just trying to understand

To answer your question, I chose 50 pounds by the end of the year because I am just getting started and at over 300 pounds I know the first 20-30 pounds will come off fairly easily. For someone who is 'just' 50-100 pounds overweight, that might not be as realistic. I think your goals sound very realistic!

My first weight goal milestone is to lose at least 30 lbs by January 1st I also want to quit smoking for good by 2013, because I know it would help improve my health all the way around.

I want to lose about 30 lbs by Christmas.
