    Going to Universal Studios for my birthday at the end of May and I'd like to be under 200 lbs by then. Only a little over 5 lbs to go, but been struggling lately.

    Then I'd like to reach "normal" weight (179) by mid-September when I'm going to meet up with some online friends, some of whom have met me before and some who haven't.

    My wedding in Aruba. August 4, 2017. Want to not only look good in my wedding dress, but be able to wear a CUTE bathing suit while there instead of a old lady 1920s suit covering every inch it can! :wink:

    May 13, my birthday and the Spa Girl Triathlon. It's not about being at a specific weight, although I want to keep losing. My goal is about performing well, which right now just means "finishing," and hopefully not in last place.

    Vacation in 25 days! We are heading to florida, so i'll be spending lots of time in a swimsuit and summer clothes. I've been working out and eating healthy the past few months, and I'm ecstatic to feel comfortable in a bikini!

    My typical 10 Lbs of winter weight needs to go so that I can be at a better riding weight...I may drop 15. Also, summer pool parties and bbqs.

    My 19 year old son needs another kidney transplant so I'm losing weight so I can donate my kidney.

    This trumps any dreams I have ever held of just looking good in a photograph! I hope you and your son both achieve your dreams! xx

    Thank you! 26 more or less pounds to go!

    My 35th bday is July 6th...mid thirties! Yikes! I'd love to finally be at least close to goal by then. I'm 30-40lbs away from ultimate goal weight (never been that weight as an adult!)

    My most important date is my wedding in January and reaching goal weight earlier than that before my first dress fitting! Also, my the quickest upcoming, like a lot of people have said, is summer! I want to feel comfortable in a swim suit this year for the first time since probably middle school!

    I don't usually like dates for results, it puts a lot of pressure on weight loss that is not linear. That being said, I'm still hoping to drop .8 before next week when I go for surgery, it would be a solid 20 from when I got back on track after a few months of business trips and depression. It's my goal, not the Dr's, they surprisingly did not mention my weight gain (this is a specialist not my regular Dr.)

    Life...being healthy, not being fat. That said, I reached my goal several months ago and my reward is a trip to Maui that just happened to coincide with my weight loss and a climbing trip in August. I did this because I had to, not because of some random event that will come and go whether a goal is reached or not.

    My friends wedding in June. Am down 24lbs thanks to a well known diet "company", but this is no longer working so I'm back to MFP. Want to lose another 14lbs by then. 2lbs off in my first week despite not losing any on the "diet" plan since Xmas!

    I'm taking this a step at a time. I started at 265 a year ago and I am down to 215. First goal is to be back to under 199 by the end of May. 16 lbs to go! Second goal is to lose another 20 before my wedding anniversary in September. Third goal is another 10 by New Year's. Then will see if I can keep it off. :p

    Going to a Florida wedding this August and seeing a lot of people I haven't seen in years. I also recently started seeing someone and want to be a lot more comfortable and confident in myself for him

    My current goal for July 29th (Friend's wedding): Fit into this really cute dress I bought 2 summers ago - it's 1 size to small. Seems attainable

    I'm always looking at the next event. Now it's Easter, then Memorial Day, a NYC trip in June, engagement pictures, Ozarks trip in August, and getting married in Jamaica in December! I'm where I want to be, so thinking about these times I'll be indulging helps me stay on track and plan better now.
