    Short term goal: lose the last 10lbs.
    Long term goals: maintain gym schedule and expand into new types of exercise; continue to log and maintain a healthy weight range; ensure that I never suffer from calorie creep again and lose my way.

    Short term goal: stay on track with my workout and meal plan for 3 months (reward for achieving - manicure, pedicure & facial)
    Medium term goal: stay on track for 6 months (reward - weekend getaway to fancy-schmancy spa)
    Long term goal: weigh approximately 100 lbs and maintain it (before anyone freaks out, bear in mind that I'm only 4'11) (reward for achieving - boudoir photoshoot, I did one at my highest weight, and would love to do another)

    Short term: clear up some health problems so I can get a better read on bf% vs water and make sure my macros are right
    Long term: get down to a real goal weight, whatever that ends up being depends on how well the short term works out

    Short term starts tomorrow with another new doctor on the team

    A pound a week, ultimately losing 30 lbs. As long as it's going in the right direction and I am eating and exercising at healthy levels, I am less concerned about the pace.

    I don't think I have any short term goals other than continue to lift weights and eat food. Long-term goal is to get below 20% BF and then reverse diet up to as high of a maintenance as I can, then maintain for a while, then bulk. Then cut/bulk/maintain cycles.

    I am 5'7" and weigh 187. My short term goal is to lose 15 more lbs by March 8th. Beyond that, I want to be in a sz 10 pant and weigh 145 by June 15th. I am doing my first 5k in May and the goal is to finish it in 45 minutes. Very attainable.

    I weigh 185 now- would like to loose 35 pounds by the end of summer. Seems impossible right now, but I'm trying!

    Keep it up you can totally do it! I started at 183 last August and was super vigilant about my calories and lost 18lbs (ten percent of my body weight was my first goal) in two and a half months. I took a hiatus from weight loss and stayed at maintenance (except for four pounds of Christmas weight) for another two and a half months. If I would have kept going I would probably be at almost thirty pound loss now. Your goals are entirely possible, feel free to add me here if you'd like as well :smile:

    Short term goal - to get under 160lbs (mid February, I'm looking at you!)
    Mid term goal - 145lbs (normal BMI, OMG) by the first day of Summer
    Long term goal - keep this weight OFF! I have had a bit of experience with maintenance now and I'm glad I have some idea of what it will take.

    Short-term: Get to 150 pounds by March 1st (I'm 157 right now so I thin that's doable)
    Long-term: Lose 20ish pounds by Summer and drop body fat% by a lot.
    Long-long term: Look great, toned, and healthy. :)

    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.
