What's your goal?

My goals this year: to log everything that crosses my lips and complete my diary daily(under or over my calorie intake) and exercise at least 3 times a week. Anytime I am slacking have my pals say something. I need to stay on track this year. I know I can not do it alone, I have tried and it doesn't work for me I need help with staying motivated.

My goals are to lose 38 lb and be able to start participating in 5k runs and more with good timing. I want to be healthier, eat better, look better, feel better and extend my quality of life.

My goal is to lose at least 24 lb this year and keep it off. That will put me at 180 lb which I haven't weighed since I was 13 or 14 (I am 37 now).

I also have a mini-goal of 199 by March 25th, which is my 1 year "anniversary" on MFP. Right now I'm at 204.

Previously I lost 45 lb with exercise alone, and then 58 lb last year thanks to MFP logging. So I feel this 24+ should be "easy" but I'm not counting on it ;-)

To be in my own best shape at 48. not sure what the scale will say then, but I need to be healthy for my little ones.

Welcome!

My goals including moving more. I had not idea how little I was actually moving until I started counting my steps. Also, my big motivation is to be healthy. I have lost 15lbs since the beginning of November, which is slow but great considering it was the holiday season. I would like to feel great in my size 10 jeans which I have not worn for many years. I am not surely exactly where that will be on the scale but I am thinking I need to lose some where between 75-100 lbs.

Oh and this week, my goal is to make friends with the monster in my basement (elliptical machine). I have been putting it off and putting it off, but I promised some of my MFP friends that use their elliptical that I would make friends with mine. Wish me luck, it is a big black scary machine that takes my breath away.

I am here daily, feel free to send me a friend request if you like.

The goal that I set on September 1st is 100 pounds by July 1st. I'm already 46 pounds down in 4 months (I was 52.4 down before the Christmas break) and I plan on getting the next 54 off by July.

MFP has been one of the keys to my success so far. The other has been having a success story to compare myself. I track the weight loss of a guy who lost 100 pounds in 150 days. Whenever I stumble, I look at his progress photos and check out his MFP diary and realize I want what he has achieved.

My goal is to lose 50lb by the end of the year.

Totally doable Jen, but you're going to have to exercise your *kitten* off. Literally. When I made exercise my focus and dieting something I'll get around too everything changed for me. Wishing you all the best.

Shed 12lbs over the next three months to increase pace for Liverpool Marathon in May, which I'm gunning for a 3hr 45min time.

Ultimately to compete in a triathlon (short course) when I am 40 (so 21 months away)
To do this I need to lose half my body weight and get strong. The number on the scale is not not as important to me as having a strong fit body but as I get stronger my number will shrink.
I'm starting slow- my goal is huge and I need to be sensible about it, if I got too hard too soon I will injure myself and give up and end up bigger than I am now.
Thankfully I have some friends who are already competing and are going to help me along the way

My goal is to get a strong support system built up that will help me stay accountable for all I eat and exercise. I want to lose at least 20 pounds preferably by spring break which is the last week in March. I don't know if the pounds will be off by then, but I am confident that I will feel better and look better by then. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I just started my exercise and "diet" today, so I am just getting started!!

Lose 65 lbs and focus on exercise daily and tracking my food. Good luck!

My goal is to be within the healthy weight range for my height (171cm or 5'7.5") for the first time in ever - that means losing half of my weight (yikes!). Sick of being the 'big friend', and desperately need to be happy and healthy to support my best mate and godson. I'm tracking everything I eat and exercise, am following a low cal, low carb, high protein diet and getting huge amounts of support from my MFP mates. Good luck to everyone with their goals this year!

2014 Goals:
-Maintain my weight or lose another 5-10 pounds.
-Reduce my intake of sugar, using MFP's guideline for the amount.
-Reduce my intake of processed foods, cooking/baking more and mostly avoiding ingredients I wouldn't use myself in the kitchen.
-Continue practicing yoga to improve my strength and flexibility.
