Everyone has a short term goal. Whether it be 1lb a week or 2? Maybe you want to shed some LBS for the BIG day? Let's share and support!!!

My Goal is 2lbs per week. I want to lose a significant amount by my bday- July 4th. Thats in 22 weeks so thats 44lbs. My starting weight is 248 so my goal is to be 204 by July 4th with a total loss of 44 lbs!

Its fate that my fav/lucky number is 4!!!

Sorry had to share :D!

    I just started Jan 1st so my goals are a little abstract. Month one was 10 lbs - lost 19. Month two (this month) is 10 again but I won't weigh until March 1st. After that I am thinking 7 lbs for month three. Maybe 10 depending on how well I do this month. Ultimately I would like to be at the halfway mark by July so that's 60 lbs - averages to 10 lbs a month. The better I do now the more room for change I have when it starts getting tough. Right now I am still on the learning curve.

    But :) no big day, nothing special :) I just want to be able to do things I just can't do right now like chase my son, go to an amusement park, cross my legs...one of these days :)

    I take 10 lbs at a time. My goal is always to get to the next 10's like going from 240's to 230's. Then it doesn't seem like sooo much to lose!

    I started January 1st with a short-term goal of 25 lbs in 12 weeks. I've only got one more pound to go, so I'm waaay ahead of schedule! When I hit that, I'll likely bump it up another 5 lbs. After my first 12 weeks is over, I plan on taking a week's break before starting back up with another 25 lbs in 12 weeks short-term goal! :-)

    My short term goal has been set at 1lb per week since I started. One month later , I lost 12lbs. I set mini goals , especially for special events and I adjust those goals as needed. My next mini goal is to be 174 by March 16th. ( I'm a bridesmaid in my sisters wedding) My original goal was to be 179 but I've already met that goal. So in my mind , as
    Long as I continue to lose .. I'm happy. If I exceed my goals , then hOorah !!!

    I want to be down 20 pounds by the beginning of March , I'm down 13 so I have 7 to go.

    My goal is 2 pounds per week , but my body is kind of wonky so sometimes I lose nothing, then the other week I lose 4 pounds.

    This year is my 10 year high school reunion, and my best friends wedding. I want to be down 60-70 lbs by October! But my goal right now is 2 lbs per week. Somehow I've been getting 3 per week, so I'm tickled pink of course, but I know it will eventually slow down:) I just want to feel good in my skin! :)

    I'd like to hit 210 by March 21st - I'm off to visit some people who haven't seen me for a couple of years, so they will already notice a difference, but 15 stone is a nice round number in the UK!

    My next goal is an under 19 minute 5K. No specific time period on that, but I'm pretty sure I can do it in less than a year.
