    When I can walk by a shop window and think, "Wow! Who's that hot woman?" then I will be through. :happy:

    I'd like to be around 70kg by the time I go on holiday next year. Mostly so I can fit into economy! Seriously, long legs+fat *kitten* do not make for a good long haul experience unless you go business. Still, no drama if I don't make it. As long as I'm not as big as I am now, I can still go economy and stop over in HK both ways. Nothing wrong with a little extra shopping!

    I will lose another 33 lbs (15kg) before next year July. That will be a challenge in itself as I'm losing less than half a pound per week. Most importantly though I will be a healthy weight again in 5 kg and weigh the same as the start of this year.

    I am sincerely hoping for the end of the year. It's so vain, but i LOVE winter clothes and would really like to buy a new, cute wardrobe! :) that's 36 pounds in 5 months. I think that's doable. or i should at least be super close!

    Also hoping to finish a half marathon (either an official one or just the distance) by the first of December!

    Considering the fact I am on year 2 of losing weight...no I don't have a specific date for my goal weight. I would like to get there before I'm dead though! :)

    I'd like to be about 150 by the end of Sept/start of Oct as I'm going on a trip to London with some friends and I just know there'll be photos of me.
    Looking to be around my ultimate goal (not set in stone so I don't know exactly what) by the end of the year ideally. Failing that by my 28th birthday next April. The rate I lose weight April is looking more realistic, lol. As long as it stays off though! I'm more concerned with look then weight and I know the look I want will take probably longer to get and a lifetime to maintain.

    I'm trying to lose another 44 lbs by October. I don't think I'll make it. I keep having days where I binge eat and get drunk. And I wasn't really very good at weight loss when I first started in October last year.

    I used to at the beginning, but now really, i'm just working toward the final goal! Motivation is seeing when I close a diary for the day, I'm seeing my goal weight in the projection.

    Original goal date (Sep 2012), but soon realized its not going to happen for me. First started losing a pound a week, I thought no problem, but then along comes my plateau. I'm lucky if I lose one pound a month, but hey I'll take it because I'm not quitting this time. I continue to watch my calories, exercise and spend much more time outdoors on my feet doing anything that keeps me moving. I do see inches coming off, so after reading all the threads about that, I'm concentrating more on how my clothes fit instead of the actual weight. Good luck to everyone and I enjoy reading others successes! :flowerforyou:

    I'm the same way..the projection weight is a great inspiration.

    I'd like to lose maybe 10lbs before I go on holiday on September 7th. And I'm going to a friend's wedding on the 1st September so would like to feel confident enough to wear a dress to that.

    I did aim for 10lbs off by graduation (13th July) but it didn't happen. I'm taking it a day at a time though, and although I would've like to have met my goal, I'm not too sad I didn't, as I hit my NSV of wearing a dress to the ceremony.

    I want to be 200 for the New Year. So that's about 30 lbs in 5 months. I suspect that my plateau will be around 215 so I know it's going to be tough this fall. Going to have to find the motivation to keep up the fight!

    Not a specific date perhaps but I want to reach my goal before March next year. I'll apply for my dream job next year and I don't want to be disallowed because of my weight :mad:

    I would love to be at a spot mentally and physically where I feel good about myself by Christmas time. And I want to be feeling great and at my goals by next summer. I don't think that is too unrealistic because I have done it before. In 1 year I lost 70lbs and got my body in the best shape since having kids. I am at it again. My youngest is 6 weeks old and I have already lost 30lbs from her but still have another 40lbs to lose from my son who is 15months. I am trying not to be so focused on the scale but more on the inches, how clothes fit and how I look in pictures. I will be thrilled if I am at my ideal body by next summer.
