    I had my first daughter 10/16/06 and was 156 lbs when she was born.
    I never lost that weight and on 07/11/11 I had my second daughter and was 206 when she was born.
    My current weight is 174.4 lbs. My long term goal weight is 140 lbs.
    In the short term I'm having a contest with my friends to be down to 170.6 by Thanksgiving.

    What other goals are out there?

    Short term goal is under 120. BUT, I need to firm up my stomach muscles. Dropping weight doesn't mean much when your tummy is all c-section flabby. Ideally my long term goal is between 110-115 (I am short and small framed) but if I can maintain sub-120 I will be content.

    Long term - down 100lbs

    Short term - 10 lbs at a time.....

    I don't have a timeline for myself because I was setting time lines, not meeting them, getting frustrated, and feeling like a failure.

    short term goal- to be down 30 lbs total by Thanksgiving, which I believe is doable if I work hard and watch what I'm eatting.:wink:

    Long term goal- to be 150 lbs and out of double digit pants sizes, (well, heck, I'd be happy with a size 10 to be honest.):laugh:

    I'd like to get down to 145. Short term I could probably go lower but around 150 seems to be the easiest to maintain for me. That's still considered overweight for my height but it's a lot better than where I am now. Long term I just want to keep it off. Diabetes and heart issues run in my family and I'd like to prevent those.

    I've made a short term goal of losing 5 lbs a month. This will put me at pre-pregnancy by the end of the year and within 1 year of having him.

    Long term goal - 130 lbs with a toned body by next summer.

    I don't have a timeline for myself because I was setting time lines, not meeting them, getting frustrated, and feeling like a failure.

    Yeah, I don't think I have a timeline right now... I had hoped to lose 17 lbs from Oct 7 -Dec 25, but have been stuck at 7 lost for a bit. I don't want to stress too much, so long term goal is about -25 more, fit in to my skinny jeans etc :) Thinking about pulling out my favorites and hanging them around the house for motivation.

    Rx, your 10 pounds goal sounds good and may have changed my thinking some. If I can drop another 3 by the end of the year then I'd be able to say, "I lost 10 pounds last year!" and though it wasn't a whole year of effort I think it would be pretty motivating to start next year out right!
