Where do you want to be 3 months or a year from now?

In a year I wanna be just a couple of pounds lighter, more toned, lifting heavy like a champ, and training for a full marathon :drinker:

It's so inspiring to read about everyone else's goals!

I've been losing about half a pound a week, and I'm hoping to be able to keep that up, although I expect the loss to slow down more and more as I get closer and closer to my goal. In three months, half a pound per week would put me at 122.5, which is 4.5 pounds shy of my goal weight. I'm more concerned with my fitness level, though, so I might actually be happy with 122.5 as an end point. Fitness-wise, I'd like to complete the Body By You program in the next three months. I'm on week 2, so I'm on track to finish on October 4, but I've never actually completely finished a fitness program before. I always get bored! This one is nice, though, because progression doesn't mean just more weight: it means new and different exercises.

By this time next year, I'd like to be able to do all of the most advanced exercises in the Body By You program: an unassisted pull-up (something I couldn't do even when I was a tiny middle-schooler), pistol squats, dive-bombers, one-arm push-ups, and weighted one-legged warriors. I also have some aesthetic goals: I'd like to lose 2" off my hips, 1" off my waist, and 1" off each thigh within the next year.

In 3 months, I want to have control of my sugar cravings and get back down below 140lbs again. In a year, I hope to be at my goal weight of 130lbs... as I have found... goal weight is hard to achieve and takes some amazingly hard work! Also, I'll have completed my second Tough Mudder with my team and recruit a few newbs while at it. Last weekend I ran my first ever Tough Mudder and next summer I want to be able to own this obstacle/run course!

I want to be my pic again <--

That was me a few years ago

While the question is a good one from the OP, what's more important to know is once you do know what you want, what's the actual DETAILED plan to get there. Just saying "hey, in 3 months I want to be _______lbs." with no plan will probably end up short in goal.

In 3 months I would like to have lost somewhere between 5 to 7kg. In a year's time I would like to have reached target weight of about 60kg by losing a total of 23kg.

:laugh: If I lost any more weight, I'd become anorexic. I am about at my marathon weight from about 10 years ago. exercise and diet, i thought i was getting old and with a slowed metabolism destined to be old, fat and slow. I went to my doctor and and he said I had lost 30 lbs. 80 lbs total now. I am a big husky guy and since i am in the normal ranges in weight and BMI, I don't want to change but maintain. The only time I wore smaller pants was when I was playing 3 hrs of basketball in college (in the 60's). I have gone from 2X shirts to large. expensive to get a whole new wardrobe. Hope the best of luck to everyone else who is on the road.

To be honest, it's a little scary (but exciting) to sneak a glimpse of what will be.... I've never been slim and healthy in my entire life and knowing that I can and will get there is a little overwhelming at times.

In 3 months, I'd love to have lost at least another 12 lbs, and at 1 lb a week, I can't see why this isn't achievable (as I'm averaging 2lb a week now). And would you believe I need exactly 12 lbs to reach ONEderland. :-D I also have a family wedding at end of October, so I want to be rocking whatever dress I end up in and surprising everyone who hasn't seen me in a year. I can't wait to shop for a dress that isn't plus size.

In a year, I'd love to be at maintenance and I know that there's nothing to stop me from being there. I don't even know what my end goal is yet. I've set it for now to sneak into a "normal" bmi and then I'll see where I am once I get there.

Isn't it exciting to see what's around the corner......... :flowerforyou:

In 3 months I want to have almost lost another 14lbs. I started on 10th June and have lost 12lbs so far.

still pregnant and then nursing a healthy baby and trying to learn how to be a Mom and healthy

3 months... I'd like to be exercising regularly and without excuses. I'd like to be well on track to eating properly and not resorting to junk food.

In a year... I am going to be at LEAST 60 pounds lighter and training for the September Tough Mudder with my boyfriend and his brother's team! I will be able to run at LEAST 5K.

In three months, I'd like to be 25 lbs smaller.

In 3 months I would like to be 30 pounds lighter and half way finished all the crap I need to do to move to New York.

in three months i want to be close to or at the goal i set for halloween - 189 - so i can reward myself with a fun costume and festivities.

i a year, i hope to be at my goal weight, and running faster and farther than i ever have.
