    It's so hard for me to come up with a difinitive goal, because since I started with this hardcore commitment, I have only lost a few pounds, but I've lost over 20 inches. It's been 7 weeks, and it's obvious my body is changing drastically. I am hesitant to have a goal weight, because my original goal was to lose 15 lb in two months...and I've lost all of 2-3 and it's mostly inches I'm seeing go away. I'm doing Insanity, which is hardcore and I'm certainly gaining muscle. That said, I'm gonna put up a goal weight just because ideally, I want to LOSE POUNDS. Siiiiigh. I'm working my tail off. The weight has to shed eventually!

    Originally my goal was to lose 20 lbs by mid December, but I am already halfway there, so I am adjusting to say I want to get my weight to 350 lbs between now and then.

    Hey everyone! My goal is to be 140 lbs however I don't mind weighing a bit more so long as at the end I fit into some lovely black skinny jeans I used to wear a few years ago!

    My general goal is to lose 10 lbs a month, so I would like to lose 30 lb by Christmas. With Thanksgiving and a vacation in November, it's going to be a definite challenge. I am using Nutrisystem for meals, and exercising 5x week on a Bowflex Treadclimber.

    CW:165-166 depending on how nice the scale feels.
    GW: 150 by Dec 15
    UGW: 140-145

    I was stuck for so long in the 170s and now the weight is creeping off. I am hoping to jump start my weight loss since I picked up running and I am using this awesome cookbook.

    I want to lose 15lbs by dec 15th!! I think 5lbs a month is a bit on the low end but any higher and I lose motivation.

    My goal is to get under 210. I am currently at 232, so I need to lose 23 pounds. If I can get under 210, then I can see my way out of the 200s!

    I am around 225 and struggling to get under the 200s too. Maybe we can help eachother out!

    Ideally 28lbs. It'll be tought but I think I should be able to do it, and that would get me pretty much where I want to be with just a few post-Christmas pounds to lose! It's roughly 2lb per week so should be do-able.

    CW: 160lbs (11st 6lbs)
    December 15th GW: 132 lbs (9st 6lbs)
    Ultimate GW: 126lbs (9st)

    UGW 135 because I am only 5' 4" and at my CW that makes me in the "O" catagory (yikes) never thought that would happen.
