The subject says it all, whats everyones ultimate goals? or even short term goals
Mine is to lose 97lbs meaning i will weigh aroun 145lbs which is my healthy weight for my height but I dont know if my body will let me get that low but as low as i can go nearest to that would be amazing!
Short term goal are : by end of September lose 9lbs meaning i will be the weight i was last year so i will be right back on track when i first joined this app
Then i will set a another short term if i achieve that, but i would like to hit the 200lbs mark by my birthday at the end of april next year so 8 months to loose 42lbs not sure if thats ambitious though.
My brother is getting married in may 2014 so im really hoping to be in a good shape for them as its in greece so i want to feel and look amazing!

hi! good goals. Don't say "if"!! Say you WILL because you CAN!
I'm at 256 right now. My goal is to lose 10 pounds by the end of September then another 10 by November 10th (best friends wedding.) I'd like to lose 32 by the end of the year which would put me at 224 (what I was last year at my wedding.)
My first BIG goal is to be 190 by swimsuit season next year (June 1st)
Then my ultimate goal is 170. I know that may seem high, but I am 5'6'' or maybe 5'7'' and would like to keep my curves and leg muscle if I can.0 -
Hello ! That is a good goal really practical to ! :happy: .... I weigh 226 and I am 5'3 my ultimate goal is to loose 75-80 pounds however I did not pick a overall date. I did set mini goals for myself and it is by 8 pounds each time I loose 8 pounds I get to treat myself to something like getting my hair done, movie night out, new crochet needles .. stuff like that I actually have a list on my Ice box lol ... but I know I will eventually get there. I personally try not to set a date because for the past 2 years I have struggled and failed mainly because that date would come around and nothing would be lost so I would give up. This is the first time I am taking it seriously I do weigh in every 2 weeks and write it down. I just want to be happy and healthy ... no chubby and having troubles breathing when I run with my dog !0

Well currently I'm 235lbs right now I would like to get to 135lbs, hopefully by November 2013 as I'm going on my very first cruise. I would be very happy to reach the 200lbs mark.
My short term goals are to lose 10 pounds by the end of September, and get off my type 2 diabetic meds.0 -
Hey
I have a few goals. Firstly i want to get down to a size 16 initally. When i fit into something in topshop is when i'll know i've finally achieved something, and be able to look at myself in the mirror and be proud. Secondly i want to be below 200lbs because i haven't been since i was 16. I'm trying to be realistic in my goals this time because i've been on so many diets telling people i'm going to be a size ten in X amount of months...then ended up even bigger. Thirdly i want to be able to do a push up, a real push up because that would be pretty badass.
Short term goal...2 and a half stone by Christmas.0 -

That sounds like a very smart plan. I've always had the same problem. Good luck.0 -

I think that sounds like a healthy weight 170 for 5ft7, some people look best with some curves definitely. I want to keep my boobs and bum.0 -

A wedding is definitely a good point to aim for. Should keep you on track. You'll probably lose that 42lbs a lot quicker from that with the exercise and keeping under that you've been doing. Also sorry for posting overkill, i was just really interested in peoples goals. Think it's really important. Good luck, sure you'll be look haaawwwt for that wedding 0 -
I'm 203 and wanting to get to about 145ish. I'm doing mini-goals though, because that's too big of a picture for me to look at. I'm doing 5-lb increments 0

Hello everyone!! I'm currently 206 and want to be 199 by the end of September. By Christmas I would like to be 180 or so. My ultimate goal weight is 145-150.
I agree with MJ0214....it is soooo helpful to do mini goals instead of looking at that massive number.
Soooo happy to be in the group!!
Anyone feel free to add me if they want! :happy:0 -
I am 5' 3 and 220 lbs. My first goal is to get below 200, and my final goal is to get to 120. I'd like to be close to my goal by the end of next May (my daughter's hs graduation). I need to do about 10 lbs per month to do this. May not be able to lose that much per month as I get closer to my goal, but as long as I'm still on track, I'll be happy.0
-
I'm trying to not be too focused on weight, and more focused on how I feel. While I'd like to see myself at 190lbs eventually, my goals now are size goals. I was in a size 20 or 22, and now I'm on the verge of being very comfy in a size 18.
My goal is to buy size 14 clothes.
I'm 5'9". 0 -
My first goal is to be in ONDerland by the end of September! I can do it!!
My UG is 130....but I take it a week at a time 1-2 lbs. 0 -
My overall goal is to be healthy. However more specifically, I would like to lose a total of 164 pounds - 10 pounds at a time. I have lost the first 12 and will meet the next one sometime in September. More immediately, I am very excited to be so close to being in the "200s" - it is right around the corner.
Other goals include increasing fruits and vegetables in my diet,lowering carbs, exercizing at least 4 times per week and sleeping atleast 7 hours each night.0 -
I want to lose about 60 lbs to get under 200! That's my first big goal! (:0

Hi all my long term goal is to get down to 180 and then we will see if I wanna lose anymore. Im really just taking this one week at a time I weight once a week on Monday's.

thats a really good idea with the whole treating yourself everytime u reach your goal, i will deffiantly have to think about doing that myself, give me something to look forward too, and i tend to do 7lbs at a time means ive reached a goal as its half a stone and means every 2 halfs is a new stone im so close to hitting a new stone bracket its almost in my reach! but good goals 0 -

sorry! I WILL be 42lbs less by april next year i shouldnt put a time line on it but i will for this as i feel thats achievable and meaning i will be in Onederland 0 -

When i fit into something in topshop is when i'll know i've finally achieved something, and be able to look at myself in the mirror and be proud.

Thirdly i want to be able to do a push up, a real push up because that would be pretty badass.
Short term goal...2 and a half stone by Christmas.
the push ups is an amazing goal i tried one the other day and almost died! i was doing this ufc thing on the kinect and it asked me to do as many push ups as i could in 60 seconds, i did 3 very bad ones 3!!! i was so ashamed! so the weights will be coming out i think. Also with the clothes, I can't remember the last time i walked into a shop and looked at size 16 clothes, i think i went from a 14 straight up to 18 coz i cant remember buying 16s
id like to get into 14's again, i know its going to take me a while to get there but ive been that size before so i know my body can do it! 0 -
I want to lose about 60 lbs to get under 200! That's my first big goal! (:
thats a good goal to set
try mini ones first that way the big one wont scare u as much as u reach the small goals like by end of september lose 10lbs then when u smash it you will think wow its been a month and now ive only got 50lbs to go! x 0 -

thats a good way to look at it, sometimes the scales are mean and tell you u have gained when u didnt feel that, also with all the muscle building from exercise the scales cant tell you u look great in the mirror! try taking pictures of yourself every 2 months so u can see ur body transform even if u cant see it, the camera doesnt lie x 0 -
Currently 280.
Would like to get down to 180, and then we can take it from there.

good goal dont forget to set small goals to help u reach that big goal everytime u meet the small goals u will be one step closer to the big one 0 -
sorry for the spamming and if i didnt reply to everyone, all your goals are very achievable! look at me as im some sort of professional! im not but i dont see goals that look unlikely to happen as everyone is being realistic also no one is setting time scales which i think is a good thing, theres a few that want x amount by next year but no real have to be this its more you would like to be.
Remember its not a race as you all want to lose the weight but if its too quick it will come back on much faster later on! also your not putting pressure on yourselves i know we all want to be our goals just time will really be good to us. My friend weighed 280lbs when i met him 6 years ago and now hes at his healthy weight of 182, now im not saying it will take that long for u guys coz it wont as he wasnt dieting for the first 3 years i knew him and then when he was he didnt stick to it as strict so it shows with hard work it will fall off us in no time! i really hope people haven't read this and thought 6 years! for 100lbs! but thats not it, i was simply proving it will take a lot less for us who will be good and exercise, he didnt exercise until i joined the gym with him about a year ago and hes only lost his last 28lbs that way. So exercise is key 0 -
My first goal was 200lbs - reached that a few days ago (198 lbs now).
My ultimate goal is health and fitness but weight wise I'd say around170-180 lbs.We shall see - depends on activity and muscle mass.0 -

Can definitely do it. Just got to stick with it. Hopefully mfp will help. I know haha. I went upto a 16 and then some when i went college and contiuned to wear 16 even though i had to lie on my bed with a coat hanger to fasten them, and i used to have dinges in my legs and tummy when i took them off. Denial right there that i was a 16. Good luck everyone hope you achieve your goals 0 -
So ultimately I need to lose 106 lbs to get down to 170 lbs. My immediate goal is to lose 25 by the end of the year. That seems hyper realistic on the path that I am on averaging 5lbs a month. I will have a better idea of how many inches that equates as I go. I have decided to focus on inches vs. lbs. I am also very interested in having changed my body shape and have a far more obvious waistline by year's end!0
