The format I thought up was something like this but please don't let this limit you. Feel free to do different goals, doesn't have to be lbs, can be inches, amount of exercise, water, nutrition or anything else.

My SW right now is 171. Hopefully by 11/26 I'll still be there or slighly below. My goal would be to lose 1-2 lbs per week (which is pretty agressive) through the holidays. After the first of the year, my goal would be to lose 2 lbs per week. By June 1, 2012 I would hope to be at my goal weight of 140 lbs.

time frame is right after thanksgiving but feel free to set your goals ahead of time if you have a good idea of what your start weight might be.
I am purposely leaving this open b/c i know we all have different goals. The format above was just what i had in mind for myself. change it up however you like and for whatever days you weigh or measure on.0 -
In13 days I would like my start weight to be 293 pounds. I have been consistent with losing 2-2 1/2 pounds a week. I would like to keep that momentum up through the holidays. I thought halloween was gonna be hard for me, but it really wasn't. I have 4 kids so I had 8 pounds of candy in the house and I actually had very little of it. I am proud of myself. My goal is to be at or very close to 220 by june 3rd. I am glad that you started this.

Right now i'm trying to be very aggressive on my weight loss...so i'm hoping to lose my 20lb weightloss goal by march. I'm attempting to make it to the gym for about 6 times a week for about an hour each time....so heres a rough sketch of what i'm looking at trying....going to update of course as needed..

Hi there,
I hope to fit in with you guys although I find my goals being a little different.
I would like to work with my dietician and meet the goals we agree upon and let you know what those are so you can hold me accountable.
I am not sure how much weight loss to expect as I am on a clinical trial for weight loss. I am really trying to learn how to change my eating habits and make smarter choices. I know this may sound stupid but I don't ever remeber being taught the basics about food. We were told to eat what was on our plates and we always had to eat foods that would make a lot for minimal money because we didnt have a lot of money.
If I am not a good fit for the group just let me know.

Thanks for creating this group! In August I started this quest at an all time high and am now down 24 pounds as of today (My starting weight was 228 on 8/23/2011). I am a runner and pace lead (a very slow group - we are run/walkers) - so the bulk of my exercise comes from my running/walking.
As of today I weigh 204 - I'm hoping by Thanksgiving when this kicks off to be at 199.
Mini Goal #1 - 195 (12/6/2011) - my birthday
Mini Goal #2 - 190 (1/7/2012) - Frigid 5k time trials race
Mini Goal #3 - 185 (3/25/2012) - Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon
End Weight - 175 (June 1, 2012)
I will reevaluate my end weight goal once I hit it and decide how much more, if any I want to lose...I'm 5'3 and I know that 175 is a far cry from those "standards" - but I am doing this for me, not "standards" from MetLife, etc.0 -
Hey guys!! Not sure what my starting weight will be, but I can go ahead and set my goal weights. I weigh in on Sundays. Good luck everyone!

I dont know what my starting weight will be but I'm 189 as of today! I just had surgery so Idk if Ill be able to work out or do much until 11/26. I am definitely committed to losing weight. It's starting to get harder for me to lose weight as fast as I did before! I'm hoping to lose a lb or two a week and be at least 170(50lbs was my second major goal) or under by March 18th for my bday!!!

Good afternoon! (it's 2:36pm where I am
)
My goals...Hmmm...I'm trying REALLY hard not to focus a lot on the scale because the scale doesn't measure how much muscles I've gained - well it shows it with a weight gain and that doesn't really put a smile on my face - and it doesn't show many other factors.
So my goals:
-Not to rely too much on weight
-Try to focus on measurements
-Workout at least 30 minutes a day.
-Burn more than 1,000 everytime I workout0 -

This is a great idea since the holidays are always tough. I don't want to fall back into old, bad habits with my eating, so being accountable here will definitely help. I'll weigh in the weekend following Thanksgiving and post my starting weight then. I'm not specifying any amount of weight I want to lose each week because weight loss is very slow for me. I really just want to continue going down in weight instead of UP!! I hit many plateaus, but I've gotten used to that and feel that in the long run it may help me keep the weight I do lose off longer.
I wish you all a stress-free, Happy Thanksgiving and will be checking back in after the holiday! :flowerforyou:0 -

I'm in! I don't have any challenges after Christmas yet! Since we've got 2 weeks before we start, I'm hoping to be at least 3 more lbs down from today's weigh in, which would put me around my halfway mark to goal!
