Hi all,
After a year of trying my darndest to lose anything I've managed to wrangle a full 6 pounds of fat loss. Yay me! My goal is to be down near 145-150 - bang on perfect for my height and build. I had a great deal of success with a lose for xmas group (almost all the weight I've lost since being on MFP) and want to keep that going.

My Goal is to lose 20-25 pounds by 1st July 2013
My Reward will be quitting my not awesome job/ epic trip to Rome (Will have to work a few months longer to afford Rome)

Once I manage my absolute minimum loss goal of -15lbs I shall start looking for an alternative less crappy job that pays as well as crappy job. :)

    I set a goal of 30lbs by June so will up to 35 by July..less than 5lbs a month. I think I can do that.

    Hmmm...my reward...this might sound stupid but a night of to get drunk.. I quit drinking while I do this weight loss thing so I wouldn't mind just going out enjoying myself for one night with some old friends..

    Sounds awesome! Especially after nearly a year of no drinking. Maybe a pretty new dress to get smashed in?

    My goal is to be down about 20 pounds by 5 months from now. I think giving myself 25 pounds by July sounds great. In addition to losing the weight I want to be toned! April is the three year mark of being with my boyfriend so my reward is (and btw this was MY idea) buying a sexy black cocktail dress and having him take me downtown Seattle for our anniversary and then out dancing. He is so cute in saying he doesn't dance. Ha! What he doesn't realize is if I'm working my *kitten* off to be at my ideal he can take his out dancing with me. Ideally for me I'd be between 125-130, as I am 5'4" and have a very pear shaped frame.

    I would love to 30 pounds by July, or even more if I can. :) For my reward I'm not quite sure yet, soI'll have to think on that some more.

    I would like to lose between 25-30 pounds by June, and think it is a very realistic goal as long as I stay on track. I do have more weight than that to lose, but the reason for setting the June date is that I want to be thinner for my son's high school graduation.

    As far as a reward, I will probably buy more fashionable workout clothes. In the the little town I live in, unless you're a size 10 or under, they don't carry decent workout outfits. I've always heard you're supposed to wear lose, comfortable clothes to exercise in, but if I *had* loose, comfortable clothes, I might not need to exercise as much!

    Hello everyone! I have joined this group today. I have around 28lbs to lose. I started off really well and lost 4lbs in 5 weeks and then after one thing or another I went off course. I have probably put it all back on! I decided today to start again.
    The reward I will have is being able to wear any of the lovely summer clothes I have in my wardrobe and can't get into at the moment!

    I think a reasonable goal is to lose 30lbs by June 30. That'll put me at 147lbs, which is under my last weight lose journey by 3lbs, and is also past thr halfway mark . A loss of about a pound a week should do it.


    I want to get a belly ring and to feel comfortable in summer clothes..this past summer i hid in my pants and sweaters.

    Hello everyone

    My goal is to lose 25-60 lbs by July ,I just started in October of 2012 right now I am down about 4 lbs and would like to see it keep dropping down. I have been exercising every day and take 1 day of rest in between, but not really because I am always doing something and always moving. So I will take it one day at time and see what happens good luck to all of mfp. I would like to fit into my summer short that I have not been able to wear in about 3-4 years, yes I did keep them to see if I could fit back into them one day.

    Losing 25 lbs before July 1st. If my calculations are correct, that would be about 3 1/2 lbs a month. Hmmm... Ok, I know that is doable. Gives us all something to look at in the long run. I am in a few monthly challenges, and this seems to be a great way to look out past the next few months. The hard part will be getting thru the holidays, although if I can lose 3.5 lbs in Dec, then I know I can do it Jan - Jun.

    Reward? I'll want to think on that. Obviously new clothes. I am planning a trip to South Carolina mid June. Maybe just having my brothers and sister see me 25 lbs thinner "in my new clothes" will be all the reward I need.

    Thanks for setting up this challenge. :flowerforyou:

    My goal is to lose up to 60 lbs by July 1st. Minimum 25 lbs would be fine too if I cant be as vigorous with this weight loss thing as I'd like to be. I'm going to try my best to eat clean and train mean though! Hope I can be very focused on this and not give up hope.

    Treats/Rewards:
    NEW CLOTHES!! My current wardrobe is soooo bad... and I don't update it because I feel I don't deserve to wear good clothes with the way I am now.

    ^That is such an obvious need after losing so much weight. Will think up a proper reward for myself when I get there.

    My goal is to lose 25 lbs before July. In an ideal world, I'd love to do it faster, but I have to be realistic and good to my body. I'll have to think about what to do for a reward. Maybe a spa treatment after working the whole month of July...

    Heya! Just joined this group*yay!* I was very nervous about joining a group on here :-(. As I am twenty pounds overweight for my height. 5'8! I weigh 161 pounds, and I just started being serious about losing weight since the beginning of October. I joined this site around that time, and I like to think it's helped me lose all this weight! I've lost 13 pounds so far!.

    My goal is too reach the healthy weight for my height, which is around 135-140, and too look sexy for my boyfriend who lives in Massachusetts ;-]. So 25LBS by July is perfect for me! :-D
    As for my reward? Weeellll...................

    When I fly up there again, I want too see that shocked and turned on expression on his face ^.~.

    Well started counting calories on this site..and went down 2lbs this week. I think what I am doing might be working..

    Weights 4-5 days a week
    Zumba 4-5 days a week
    1200 calories + WE MFP says I can eat extra from cardio.

    I just hate that I had to buy a new scale during this weight loss because I don't have the exact amount I have lost so far.. with old scale over 15lbs.. new scale 12lbs.. :mad:

    My goal is to lose 20 pounds by April, one pound a week. But 25 pounds would probably look great on me too! My reward will be to look AWESOME at my wedding in June!
