I think it would be a mistake to set the bar too high in the short term as I have a 4 month old to look after and, to be honest, just getting us both to the end of the day in one piece can be a challenge at times! However, them babies love walking. So my short-term goal is to walk 10,000 steps per day and JUST SAY NO to sweet treats and mid-week wine.
Long-term, it's to lose 28 pounds, which would take me back to a reasonable weight of 140 of my height.
I am finding it quite frustrating how the weight seems to cling on after pregnancy. I have been MUCH more active since starting maternity leave and taking time out from my desk job but the bod's hanging on to those fat cells for dear life.1 -
Short term: 8 pounds (normal BMI)
Long term: 20 pounds- felt good at that weight a few years ago. Ultimately want to find a "healthy weight " that can be maintained in the long term. As an adult I have been as high as 220 and as low as 148. Stop the yo-yo.1 -
Many of these goals look very bold and ambitious. I feel humbled by them and almost don't want to post my little goal. At the beginning of the year I set out to lose 10 lbs. In the first month, I lost 5. Since then, I've been fluctuating between 1 and 4 lbs of my goal. Needless to say, this is a bit frustrating. I love exercise so I do plenty of that, but I also love sugar and carbs (preferable in the form of chocolate and beer). Any suggestions on how I can combat, reduce, reign in my cravings of these oh so delicious unhealthy foods are welcome!1

My long term goal, for now, is 200 pounds. Last time I was down to 220, I had a slight gut. I'm hoping this means I was 20 pounds away from being in Zach Efron shape. Short term, my goals are broken in 5% increments. I passed 270 already, working towards 257. Already down a couple belt notches.1

My next short-term goal is to hit 202, which will put me out of the "obese" category and into "overweight".
My long-term goal is to hit 165lb, at which point I'll reassess my weight.1 -
My short term goals are to:
- eat at least 5 servings of fruit/vegetables per day
- exercise at least 20 minutes per day (including some form of resistance training)
- lose 7 lbs (by mid July)
My long term goals are to:
- eat at least 7 servings of fruit/vegetables per day
- feel physically stronger
- maintain my weight

I just need to get myself back into a routine! A few years ago when I was at my low weight, was running about 20 miles a week and lifting weights 2-3 x a week as well. Work and life caused me to get lazy in the last year and starting a routine has been hard thus far. I'm trying to get back to running 3 times a week, working up to my third half marathon in October. I also take aerial classes twice a week, and I need to incorporate some stretching to help aid me in that. I also need to get better at meal planning. Thus far it's been plan really well one week, crash and burn the next, rinse repeat.
So that's basically it. Short term goals are establishing a routine of running 3 times a week, 2 aerial classes a week (for strength and flexibility). Stretching hopefully every day! I need to get my splits locked in. Also, logging here daily. Long term goals are shedding about 20lbs and increasing my performances as both a runner and aerialist.1 -
Long term goal is to get back to around 160/size 12. I was very comfortable there. I can't believe my "ideal" weight is supposed to be 125. I would look ridiculous.
Short term goal is to keep my current path of healthy eating/exercise so I can just plow through the 170s. But I'm very happy with how things are looking in the mid-section!0 -
Short term goals
- minimize sugary snacks (especially at work)

- Develop a better relationship with food (eliminating emotional eating)2 -
No long term goes for me right now. I'm sticking with trying to get 5 minutes of activity a day, with the hopes that I will hit and pass that goal on most days. Even if I only get 5 minutes, that is still counts as a win. I often get bogged down and disheartened by the magnitude of huge long term goals, so I'm going to give this new method a shot.
P.S. Thanks for the great podcast and for starting this group!

Everyone has some great goals!
Long term: To get to 110 lbs. I started at 190 last August and am at 150 right now, but have hit a plateau which is the absolute worst. At least I haven't gained any back in the last few months...right?
Short-term: I've joined a DietBet which is to lose 4% in one month. For me, that is 6 lbs by June 20th. Ideally, I'd like to lose 12-15 lbs by the time I move to Denver at the end of the summer. 0 -
Short term goal: fit into all of my clothes that are fitting just a bit too tight since last year and not look like I'm bursting at the seams in my bathing suit this summer. (I estimate this is only a 5-10 lb loss needed)
Long term goal: lose about 30-40 pounds (CW: 175 GW: 145) and run a 10k. Doing C25K right now, but I want to be able to go for a run and not have to think about intervals. I just want to listen to a full podcast while running.2 -
I think a little different then everyone here. I am a pretty active person, but have been realizing my body isnt as responsive to the cruel things I do to it. But I was a heavier weight before, and a lot less active, so I know that I can maybe provide some knowledge to some people here. My short term goal is to stick with a new diet plan, even though its out of my comfort zone. My long term goal is to gain 5lbs of muscle!0

Short term is getting into the 100s. I weigh 210 so I only have 11 pounds to go!
My Next goal would be to be 180 by my birthday in Ausgust (4th).
Then I think my ultimate goal would be to be about 150. I hope to reach that by the end of the year.
