    Short-term: twoterville by my birthday (April) - I'm 11 lbs away.
    Long-term: dropping all the weight, getting myself to about 130 (probably like 2 years from now)

    Short term- 10% of my starting weight, so about 28lbs and then maintain it to let my body adjust.

    Long term- to loose between 80 and 100lbs- I am not fully sure where my body's "ideal" weight is. I plan on taking this in 10% steps until I get comfortable. I don't care about time frame as much as health and fitness. I plan on being around to watch my babies have babies!

    Don't really have a short term goal. I'm taking it day by day. My medium term goal is to get down to 20% body fat, by the end of this year.

    Long term is to stay at a healthy body fat, maintain a weight where I can ride the type of horses I want to ride and eat consciously for the rest of my life.

    Short term - be in onederland by the end of May (currently 222 so roughly 5lbs per month. Short term fitness goal is to get back to a sub 30 minute 5k by June (currently at around 33-34 minutes).

    Long term - to hit goal (145lbs approx) sometime in 2016. Long term fitness goal is to run the london marathon in 2016 - I had a place this year but I've deferred it to 2016.
