  • I'd like to get to my Ultimate Goal this year. Problem is, I don't exactly know what it is. Right now, I'm calling it 150. However, in the past 6 months I've really gotten in to heavy barbell training, and I know I'll have more muscle than I did the last time I lost weight. So for right now, I'll say 150, but I reserve the right to revise it as I see how my body transforms this year (absolutely no higher than 185). I'll weigh in on Sundays.

  • I know for a fact that I won't be hitting my ultimate goal weight for this because I'm at my highest weight and am just starting over again, but I'd still like to join this thread and set a goal weight for the year! I like the idea of a yearly thread in addition to monthly check-ins to keep an eye on the bigger picture...especially since I have always gone off track within 3-4 months after restarting each time. I'm hoping this will end that cycle and keep me accountable for the entire year. Speaking of which, since this is a full year challenge/check-in, I'm going to be using your 'weekly weigh-in for each month' template, VickieLou, just so it doesn't get too overwhelming by the end! Haha. Hope you don't mind.

    I set weight loss goal every year multiple times but got failure always. I don't why because I go to the gym and reads about it on the internet but no success. This time trying something different and believing in personal trainer along with tracking device. Fingers crossed.

    Current Goal: 87 kg
    Goal: 70 Kg

    I regained 30lbs in last 3 yrs. Lost 98lbs in 1997- 1998 with the original point system. I'm counting calories in spark people now.



  • Everyone to this Challenge. I have some re-gain weight to lose this Year. I also would like to get to my goal weight. I've joined a lot of challenges. I need to do a better job with my diet. I don't do very well on the weekends. I get to the gym and do weights and a little cardio. So I need to work on cardio too. Let's do this!


  • Ooh yes please. Can I join?
