Hello, everyone! I am just curious as to what goals people have for this summer. Here are mine:
1. Get down to 35 percent fat I am now 38.6 percent fat but used to be 62 percent. I will do this through cardio and weightlifing, I love to lift weights.
2. Cut out processed foods.
3. Swim once a week.

    My goal is to stay active even tho I will not be working in the summer. Also I would be happy if I did not gain any weight. I would like to try and get more formal exercise in like weights.

    Those are good goals!

    I am going to London for a month and then will have a weeks holiday in London and another in America. My main goal is to not fall of the weight loss/ health bandwagon!!!!
    My secondary goal is to feel more comfortable in my swim suit in public

    I wouldn't complain if I got to the end of the summer and was down into a UK size 12

    I've only got a couple of goals for summer

    1) Lose 11lbs before I go on vacation at the end of July

    2) Not gain anything while on said vacation. That might be easier said than done as I'm heading to the US for 3 weeks to visit my parents and there are so many yummy foods that I miss, and Lord knows we'll be eating out a fair bit.

    3) Lose any lbs that I might come home with before going back to work in September.

    1.) Tone up a lot and finally see some abs (I have strong abs but it's still hidden!!) grrr
    2.) Feel like I am in the best shape of my life.
    3.) Reach 128 pounds by July

    My goal is to keep up my running capabilities over the summer, despite the heat. I'd also like to get out of my current rut and hopefully down another 10 pounds by the end of the summer. More would be welcome!

    P90X is a workout that is on DVD by BeachBody. Pretty intense stuff. I have done Les Mills Combat - really fun - and have just started Pump. BeachBody has lots of great workouts.

    To carry on my hard work (or especially, get back into exercise) and to get to my goal weight by Autumn.

    Seeing as I'm not going on holiday at all this year, I have no bikini body to worry about... I could always wear one around the flat!

    My summer goal is to lose 20 lbs by the end of summer (Sept 21). Based on my current weight loss speed, this is fairly realistic. The idea of being down another 20 is quite exciting, so it's time to get to work!

    My long term goal is to lose 28 lbs
    Summer weight loss goal (by end of Aug) 10-12 lbs

    Summer goals are to:
    1) alternate running with Les Mills Pump
    2) track my food as I am working out and not losing any weight
    3) I also want to stop eating the processed snack foods
    4) limit my wine consumption to just 1x on the weekends

    I hate tracking my food, but I am not losing any weight even though I am working out, so I have got to limit/watch my calorie intake and decrease the high carb stuff I love.

    Great question. Really got me thinking.
    1. Walk at least 5 days a week. One day a week walk for more than one hour.
    2. Not eat deep fried foods.
    3. Cut out all coffee including decaf.

    Lose 10 pounds (gain confidence to wear a bikini :smile: )
    Gradually cut out processed foods and focus more on health (regular eating and exercising)
    Sleeping 7-8 hours per day (I currently get an average of 5 hours per day...)

    Maintain while on holiday next week and lose a minimum of 5 pounds by the end of July.
    Ideally it would be 10 - but I keep hitting plateaus!

    Good question. I should probably start thinking of some goals...I am sort of struggling to carve out time for exercise. Shortest version of a very long story, I was really sick at the end of last year. I had brain surgery in mid February then started working full time again after being unemployed for 16 months. Shortly after starting work I went on vacation for a week. Overall I am up just under 8 pounds since my lowest weight before my surgery. I can't seem to find balance with work and exercise like I used to when I first started using MFP over 2 years ago. Sitting at a desk all day leads me to being snacky as well which is frustrating. I haven't actually been trying to lose since my surgery, but it's been just over 3 months so I think it's time to get these few pounds back off!

    So, let's see...goals for the summer:

    1. Carve out time for exercise at least 3 days a week.
    2. Be more diligent about meal/snack planning
    3. Do a couple more 5k races. I did my first post surgery race exactly 3 months to the day after my surgery!

    Everyone has some great goals for the summer. Here are mine:

    1. Lose my last 8 pounds (been working on this since March)
    2. Go through Ripped in 30 and 30 day shred
    3. Learn to swim so I can possibly to a triathlon
    4. Try to get up 3 times a week before work for a run or yoga

    Good luck on reaching your summer goals!
