    My goal is to lose 70-80lbs. My biggest motivation is to lose weight for a holiday I'm going to next year!

    I've got several goals....that hopefully will occur at enough intervals along the way that I always have something to work towards, some that I should reach fairly soon and others that could take up a good portion of the rest of the year.
    1. Ultimate goal is to get back down to a size 6 or 8, what weight will that happen at...no clue but I think I set MFP up for 130 & currently 212.5
    2. Reach a total loss of 30 lbs, only about 8 lbs to go for that milestone
    3. Reach ONEderland, about 13 lbs to go
    4. Wear something new and cute while on vacation ( I've purchased a few things....jumpsuit, dress, bathing suit-a bikini no less but might be unrealistic goal for me by summer)
    5. Finish c25k program
    6. Enjoy wearing all my heels, I love them but they're just not comfortable anymore. I want to be able to make it the entire night without feeling like I have to either sit down or change into flats
    7. Take joy in appearance rather than just having to go with something because it fits...so close to this!
    8. I'm in between a lot of sizes, but ready to say bye to 16 and XL forever!

    Long term goals are great but can seem like it takes forever. I like....no I NEED goals that are obtainable in the near future, otherwise I would not make it! I mean I'm over 20 lbs lost and I still don't notice a difference in appearance, so I need something that is tangible.

    My big goal is to be healthier.
    I am at a weight that makes me feel like a fat old unhealthy slug.

    Smaller goal is to fit into some pretty dresses sitting in my closet. My four year old loves fancy dresses, which I never wear lately since all my stuff's tight and I have no occasion to buy a new dress for anyway right now. So this weekend I was showing her some of them and telling her how someday she can have them and her eyes just lit up. She thought they were so beautiful --and I want her to see me wear them. I'd say 15-20 more lbs and I'll be in them.

    I want to lose about 86lbs total and so far I'm down 27lbs. Two of the most important goals I've made are to log my food honestly every day and decide to continue making changes every day. My biggest motivator/support has been my boyfriend. We're both losing weight, making similar changes, and encouraging each other. With someone I see and eat with so often, it's been so nice to make healthy changes together. Makes things seem so much more doable.

    I want to lose 100lbs. I started at 316lbs and is now down to 232lbs. The goal for me is to feel more comfortable in my skin and to have a more healthier lifestyle in general. I come from a family that main health problems are heart disease, diabetes,high cholesterol, and the list goes on and on. I want to minimize those changes of me having those problems as much as possible.My main supporter would be my mother and younger brothers. Since starting my health journey I have influence my brother which is battling weight and health problems of his own to get healthier.

    My goal is abs by yesterday and my inspiration is a male model whom starves himself 3 days a week for a million dollar salary.

    Not really though. Goal is to bounce between 12-18% BF while getting strong and more athletic.

    Goal is about 60 lbs. Motivation is feeling good about myself and having more energy. Also providing a better example for my kids.

    I have split my weight loss into many little goals to make it easier on my mind rather than the one big number st the end.
    I have another 25 pounds to go and then ill reassess.
    One of my goals is to be lighter than my husband who is extremely lean with a low bf% . I always been heavier than him and though it doesn't bother him ( he says he loves my curves ) it does me.

    I also want to set a good example to my kids as well as being healthier

    @TGMotorcycle me too! I would love to be a 10 by May; it seems like it's taking forever to firmly get out of 16.

    Lol I'd love to be a firm 14 at this point...ughhh

    @motivatedsister, you can do it I know I will do my best I have a scale and measure everything I even started making my own bread and most of my food from scratch. I cut out everything with fructose corn syrup. I do eat food with more sugar then what is recommended do to having low blood sugar and if I don't I have dizzy spells. I never eat back the calories I gain from exercise because I cannot work out like most due to health reasons so what takes most people 15 miniutes takes me 25 so I do not get the cardio but I am more concerned in just being able to be active at all. If you want to add me you may
