My primary short term goal is to just get started. Get up and exercise at least 4 times a week. Record everything I eat. Lose a pound a week.
Long term, I'd like to get down to 130 lbs. That's over 40 lbs from where I am now. I'd be ok with 140. Mostly I want to feel strong and energetic.1 -
Hi!
I've been doing this on and off as needed for three years now. So I have already hit my initial goal from back in the day.
Right now I go between 131-135lbs. My short term goal is that I drop to under 130lbs, closer to 125lbs by the end of June.
Long term goals is that I don't reach 140 lbs.1 -
My short term goals are to keep tracking my food and keep exercising every day. Right now I'm walking and just increased my daily step goal to 11000 from 10000.
Long term, I'd like to get back down to a size 12/14. Right now I'm a 16/18 and uncomfortable with it.0 -
My goal is to maintain. A little over a year ago I decided to make some big changes. I started logging religiously. I stopped drinking alcohol for various reasons but at first to just cut the calories. I have lost 60 pounds. I would like to maintain my current weight for the next year and work to get in better shape.2

Hi! Love the show!
Short term: I'm going to Colorado in 5 weeks with my s.o. and his family. They're all super athletic and are planning on hiking during the trip, so I'd like to be able to at least keep up with them. I've been exercising 3-4 days a week for an hour for a few weeks now so I think I can do this!
Long term: I was at 150 in the best shape of my life, but a bad break up led to depression which contributed to weight gain. I topped out at 185. I'd like to eventually back to 150. I'm down to 175 now so I'm on my way! And then I would just like to make sure I maintain it!1 -
My short term goals are:
1) eat vegetarian 5 days a week. Its better for the environment, cheaper and I'll get more fruits and veggies in my diet
2) get a minimum of 3.5 hours of exercise per week (30 minutes per day). It doesn't have to be intense, i just gotta move my butt every day.
3) do at least two days of strength training per week.
My long term goals are:
1) lose about 15lbs. If I do I will be comfortably in a healthy BMI range. Right now I'm straddling the overweight threshold.
2) be able to run 10k in under 65 minutes. I'm not a running fan, but i suspect that is because I'm not good at it yet.
My whole family is extremely fit and healthy. My sister is a rock climber, my mom is a swimmer, my dad is a bicyclist, my partner is a runner... I would like to be able to keep up so we can all enjoy active time together.2 -

Short term goal is to learn how to meal plan so that I don't eat out as much (ideally 1-2 times per week) and in general commit to eating healthier.
Long term goal is to get down to my first major goal weight of 150 (currently about 20 pounds away), try to run 500 miles this year (198 so far) and in general improve my physical and mental health.1 -
I'm no stranger to weight loss or weight gain unfortunately. I've been losing and gaining the same 50lbs since 11th grade. 9 years ago I was at my smallest, 2 years ago i was at my fittest. If I could find a happy permanent medium that would be stellar. So short term, re established my tracking and work out routine. Long term lose the 50lbs plus the the additional 10lbs I could never get to.1

Short term goal would be to find motivation to use the exercise equipment that's been sitting around gathering dust. Even if only for 15-30 min a day.
Long term would be losing around 75lbs. Doctors and such say my "ideal" weight would be to lose closer to 100 lbs but the 3 digits makes it seem so possible lol. So I've adjusted it down and can always change it again if I get close to it1 -
My short term goal is to get my average steps on fitibit to be 12,000 per day for 90 days and to track my food intake for the same time period.0

Long term goal is complete vanity, but when I do my senior vocal recital for my music education degree next December (2017) I want to look freakin' fantastic in my formal gown. Short term I want to be able to take moderately strenuous three-mile hikes by the end of this summer.
I wish I could go through and "like" everyone's posts. I'm rooting for all of you!3 -
Short term goals:
Stop drinking soda ✔️
Increase water to 8 glasses a day from 2
Slow down alcohol intake which is where I'm consuming a ton of calories!
Keep up with MFP which has been easy so far!
Lose the inches that are keeping me from fitting into my size 8 pants currently a 10/12
Hit 11000 steps a day
Long term goals:
Lose 30 lbs by maintaining a healthy eating lifestyle.
luckily I don't crave sweets. Just have to cut back on all the carbs. I love healthy food, I just need to make time for it. I eat a lot of fast food.
We can do this! Thanks for the support!1 -
ST- cut down refined sugar intake by 25% and hit daily 6k step goal
LT- walk 10k a day and lose first 20 lbs0 -
My goal is to get to a comfortable fit weight. I'm currently around 138 and my highest weight was between 160 and 170. I lost at least 20 lbs last year and want to do the same this year and get to around 120. I do yoga and rock climb so I've got a lot of lean muscle on me and a covering of fat over that! Want to mention too that I'm very short so if these weights seem low, it's because I'm tiny as hell
Staying active helps me stay confident whether or not I'm losing weight

Short term - get my 10000 steps in every day. I tend to have day I do almost nothing, and other days I do a lot.
Long term - fit into a large sized t-shirt. I used to be on the edge of L - XL. Now I'm a full XL2 -
Short term: stay active, start tracking calories again, cut out the treat stops working on the way to work in the morning.
Long term: drop 40 lbs, feel comfortable in more fitted shirts so I don't feel like I'm choosing between swimming in my clothes or flashing my gut if I stretch the wrong way2 -
Paulette here.

My short term goal is to reduce my calorie intake from alcohol. So far, I have been only drinking on the weekends and when I go to trivia (they are always held at bars). I have a two drink max but will allow myself to cheat once a month- it is wedding season.
My long term goal is to lose 15 to 20 pounds. My average weight through college and grad school was 140 but I now have beefed up to 155-160. I have been gaining muscle from crossfit the last three months but don't think I have been losing fat. I just keep get larger while maintaining a nice layer of blubber over my muscle. I want to get my weight under control before it gets out of hand. I am aware muscle will add weight but I have noticed the rolls going over my once nicely fitted jeans. As I lose weight, I plan on gauging how I visually look by comparing new photos with older ones. After all, its about how you feel and not how much you weigh. An additional perk to the dropped pounds will be less weight for me to pull up! haha!5 -
Short term, lose 10 lbs by
1. Tracking all of my food and drinks. Including on the weekends.
2. Meeting my Macro Nutrient goals
3. Going to the gym 4 days a week. (a step up from my current 3 days)
4. Drink enough water.
Long Term, lose 100 lbs by repeating the behavior in the short term goals...10 times. haha

Hey all!
Short term: Change my daily intake to keep my weight! Thankfully I have been able to lose 48 pounds in the last 2 years by becoming more active and by having a better understanding of what food was good for my health.
Long term: get a six-pack abs without go to gym, only with calisthenics exercises.
Live at least until 110 years... I know, sounds crazy, but I want to do my part and make my mind and body healthy.
Let's keep working hard, folks!2 -

I had already been on the road to losing with with MFP when I head Chucks call to join the army.
I started at 304 and today was at 258 (soon close to the 50 mark!)
My goal is to hit 210-220.
I have done a lot of progression/steps/learning along the first 50 lbs. If ANYONE is planning on losing over 50 lbs (gets winded up a flight of stairs, trouble bending over to pick up dropped keys, etc) like where I was when I started let me know, I would be happy to help anyone with the extremely daunting task to start down the road.
I still have a ways to go, but hit boot camp classes 3x week and back to running 50 kms a week without joint pain. It REALLY IS AMAZING how quickly returning (or starting) a healthy lifestyle can be.4 -
I've just hit my first goal! I started at 104.4kg (230lb) and 11 weeks later I've lost 9.6kg (21lb). My next goal is 88kg (194lb) which I'm aiming for in 6 months from now and then eventually 80kg (176lb) by the end of 2017.2

I am a bit of the opposite with hamburgers. I like them but I have never had one that I love and crave. I find the places I have gone to rely on the toppings to give the hamburger flavour and I am trying to find a place where the meat is what makes it so tasty. Any recommendations?0
