    12 Week Target: 125
    Looking to trim down. Just because! Coming up with a 12 week target weight scared me and it took me a few minutes to come up with a number. Its weird because I thought "What if I DO hit that weight...What will I obsess about then??" Crazy.
    I have been logging my food for years and have never lost weight. I have seen it very slowly creep up and now I measure just on the unhealthy side of the chart (I am short so it doesn't take much weight for me to get out of the healthy range.)
    Anyway, thanks for doing this and Good Luck!

    Start Weight: 134lbs (12/03/12)

    12 Week Target: 122lbs

    12 weeks takes me almost right up to my goal weight if I continue to lose 1lb a week, and I think that's a healthy amount to be aiming for at this stage. I'm going on holiday at the end of May, so would be nice to be in a lot better shape by then so I can prance around in skimpy clothes without feeling like a whale.
    I also have a cousins wedding to go to in August, so am hoping to be right on my goal and be lovely and toned by then. My dress is too small at the moment, and strapless... would be nice to show off toned arms and shoulders in it!

    Start Weight: 203 lbs (3/12/12)
    12 week target: 185 lbs (just in time for my son's pool birthday party!)

    Hoping this will keep me on track and help me towards my ultimate goal of 175 before my goal date of 12/31/12.

    12 Week Goal : 220 lbs

    My reasoning is because it's summer and if I reach the 12 week goal, I'll be 75 lbs lighter than last summer!

    Two more "reasons" are that my friend's wedding is late August and I'm going to be running my first ever Warrior Dash in mid-July. This means that this summer I want to be fit and looking good! :laugh:

    My goal is to need to buy a new swim suit for the summer because my old one no longer fits. I've had it for so long and have just been squeezing into it every year.

    Hello Everyone!

    Current Weight: 185
    12 Week goal weight: 150

    I know my goal seems a bit high (35pounds), but I just started Jillian Michaels Body Revolution today and I believe that if I work really hard at it and stay motivated then there is no reason why I couldnt lose the 35 pounds! I am determined to look good this summer. I want to be able to wear cute clothes and sun dresses. I also want a cute bathing suit that I am not embarrased to walk around in. I have 2 young children and spend a lot of time at the pool in the summer.

    This group will be fun and hopefully motivating. I just need the support and accountability! So if I tell you all my goal, then I will work that much harder to make sure I reach that goal by the deadline! :-)

    SW: 172lbs as of 3/9
    Target: 155

    I've been going up and down for months because I struggle with Binge eating. Anyone with similar struggles on that one is free to add me. I'm hoping to keep things down to a bare minimum so I can continue to lose. I'd like to buy my first bikini this year and just hope to look better in clothes in general. I'll need all the support I can get. Good luck! :flowerforyou:

    Current weight - 151 lbs
    12 week target - 135 lbs
    Reason - Training for an Oct. half marathon with a goal time of 1:59, will be much easier to attain without dragging around extra weight.

    SW: 132-135

    Target: 120-125

    I've been following Jamie Easons 12 week trainer...with a few tweaks, gone through phase 2 twice, & haven't exactly followed the nutrition plan. Going back to week 7 this week & trying to adhere to the nutrition portion as much as possible! Week 9 is game on & time to really focus on fat loss. I want to retain the muscle I've gained & lose body fat...rocking a bikini & shorts with confidence is the main goal!

    Looking forward to the motivation/inspiration from all of you! ---Let mission beach body commence! :D

  • Hi!

    Start weight- 222
    Goal weight- 180

    So, my goal may be a little outrageous but, I'm losing it fast because I gain it really fast. (ie I've gained ten pounds in two days before) And, I've already lost 11 pounds in 6 days by just watching my food and walking. Of course the rest probably won't come off as easy, but I'll try.
    I'm going to California this summer so there's some good modivation. :)

    Hi Everyone!

    Starting weight: 195.7
    Goal weight: 175.0

    I'm hoping to get closer to my final goal weight of 160.0 after WLS last March. This challenge will help me keep my motivation up. Since I've hit the one-year mark of my surgery, the weight loss has really slowed down. I'm also to blame for alot of that. I need to get back on track, and setting goals always works for me.
    I wish everyone the best of luck in the challenge!!

    Goal Weight: 125

    I have reached the age where it is almost impossible to lose since I am only 5' tall. In concert with a weight management program at work, I decided to really get with it. I have lost 10 pounds since 1/2012 so I know I can keep on. I am maintaining a diet of 800 - 1000 calories a day and working out for 30 minues at least 5 times a week.

    This challenge is perfect for me because June 9th is my birthday.
    SW 210
    GW 188

    Hoping to lose 22 lbs by then. My biggest challenge will be staying under my calorie limit. Have about 50 total to lose so this would take me nearly half way to my goal! I am training for a triathlon in August and having a good group of support to start this off would mean the world to me. Let's do this ladies!
