    I have no exact goal weight. I go by 5's and so at the moment my goal is 175.
    I am at 176 at present
    When I reach the 175 ( I hope by the end of this week) I will aim for 170
    I find it not so overwhelming to set a target that is far away ( like 50 pounds)
    I am like the turtle..slow and easy wins the race..

    By this, I mean here on MFP. I've been tracking calories since I was... 25 or so? Never get anywhere near where I'd like to be. Beginning to think it will never happen.

    If you are at a calorie deficit, you will lose weight, barring no serious medical issues standing in your way.

    Are you using a food scale?

    Yes, I tend to agree with you..when I pay attention to the calories ( using a food scale ), get in some cardio ( walking at least 30 minutes non-stop) and see a deficit..I DO LOSE THE POUNDS. However, one must be consistent.

    Start weight 333
    Currently 278
    Goal 200

    Perhaps even under 200 but we'll cross that bridge if we get to it

    Starting weight: 127 lbs
    Goal weight: 200 lbs
    Highest weight: 246 lbs
    Current weight: 229 lbs

    Original goal was to gain weight due to being underweight, went a little overboard on the bulking/lifting. Now every time I lose weight I end up putting it back on quickly due to stress. Goal now would be 190 lbs

    I started at 86.6 kg at the start of this year. Based on BMI I set my goal weight to be 50 kg.

    When I hit 20 kg lost earlier this year, I decided that I would consider revisiting my goal weight when I got to 56 or 55kg. About a month or two ago I started slowing down my weight loss in preparation for maintenance.

    I am now 55kg and have decided that when I hit 54 kg I will stop losing and go to maintenance.

    I'm just curious as to where everyone is in relation to their goals. For me, I am currently 144 and my original goal weight was 142. I have since moved it to 135.

    I'm a 33 Year Old Female

    Starting Weight: 163
    Current Weight: 142.8
    Goal Weight: 135 or what ever feels right!

    I'm 5'7" and 27 years old, pretty average. Would love to follow some people with similar weight/goals in mind! Add me on here!

    Currently 210 lbs, would like to be in the 240s I think. Maybe bigorexia we'll see. I used to wanna be 180 until I was 180. Then 190, 200, it's fun conquering your goals.

    It's hard to remember what my start weight was or should I say 'which time'? :( I'm the worst yo-yo dieter there ever was. I started this year around 165 and my ultimate goal is 135. I'm at 142.5 this a.m. I've been as high as 235 years ago and as low as 129. :(
    I'm a 66 yo female and am 5'9". Food is not my friend. :(

    5'4, female, 37 yrs old.

    Starting weight: 94.2kg / 207.5 lbs
    Current weight: 88.2kg / 194 lbs
    Goal weight: 68kg / 150 lbs (just within a healthy BMI) but I'll probably reevaluate when I get nearer my goal.

    A journey of a thousand miles starts with just one step.
    You’ve already made so many steps.
    1. Made a commitment
    2. Found MFP
    3. Learned/learning how to log foods eaten and exercise
    4. Started exercising
    5. Started eating better


    Add your own from here. All pointed towards the same goal. I think you’ll make it. Don’t you?

    I started at 365 pounds. I got down to 336 where I maintained for a few years. 2 years ago I started at the gym in October and by may I was down to 265. I went through a divorce and the stress and depression killed my mojo for the gym. I went back up to 290 when I weighed in on Monday. I have my mojo back again and hitting the gym daily and as of this morning I am 288.8. Right now my goal is 10 lbs by Thanksgiving (Nov 28). And another 10 by Christmas. I'm 6'5" so I'm shooting for 245 lbs as my final goal. But I lift a lot too so weight isn't a huge deal it's more of how good I look naked 😂

    Powerlifting took me down 25 pounds in 8 months. Wish I had listened and started a lot sooner.
