S/C/G: 182/ticker/135

Height: 5'6''

Default My Goals Long and Short- what are yours?

I decided I can't succeed at this weight loss journey unless I have it in writing. I keep changing the goals, and they aren't written down so no one knows but me when they aren't met

Here we go:
175 by March 31st
170 by April 30th
160 by May 31st
155 by June 30th
150 by July 31st
145 by August 18th----my birthday

I was orginally going to try to end at 135 and that is my ultimate goal still, but I wanted a realistic goal for my birthday.

What do you all think? And what are your goals for this summer? or for the next year? Let's get to it

Angeline - I try to go for 5 lbs a month too! Our goals are very similar

A big one for me is getting toward my lowest adult weight of 151.4, and I'd love to break that by the time I start grad school (July 7). I don't want to start a new life in a new city with new people and be the fat girl from the getgo. However, my pace has slowed a bit (dang St. Patty's!) so this is my current rate:

March 31: 170
April 30: 165
May 31: 160
June 30: 155
July 7: 151.4

Holy mole I need to step it up! NO MORE BINGEING and NO MORE BOOZE! and, NO MORE SKIPPING THE GYM!!!!

ok. back on track!

My one goal is to be a pretty good weight for my 21st birthday. It's a huge bday for me since I am planning on going to Atlantic City with my family and friends and I don't want my day to revolve around how my donut of a stomach looks in those jeans. I'm not going to put a number on it because that just upsets me when I don't get to that number even more. Just a realistic weight that I feel comfortable in.

Angeline, this is so perfect for me right now. I was just thinking last night that I need to really set goals otherwise I'm going to be so quick to let myself slide. Are you going to be giving yourself any rewards as you meet your small goals? I was thinking about doing that also. Anyways here are my goals:

March 30( Britney Spears Concert)- 198

May 31(No Doubt Concert)- 185

June 30- 180

July 31- 175

August 31(Dad's Bday)- 169

I think I'll just leave it at that for now. I can't think that far in advance lol, but my final goal is 135.

kswood87First- SO jealous about the concerts you're going to!!! I LOVE britney (no one shoot me) and No Doubt has always been a favorite!
I hadn't thought about setting rewards, but that's a great incentive! And I'm a goal/reward kind of girl....

what should I give myself... a massage sounds nice.... and shopping trip.... hmmm.... I'll have to think about what I really want!

I seem to always be Shifty McGee when it comes to dates... so it really is a good idea to write it down considering I'm running out of time. Here goes:

March 31: 176 <- reward: hearty pat on the back
April 27: 170 <- reward: sexy jeans!
May 25: 165 <- reward: shorts
June 27: 160 <- reward: sexy beach pics! and oodles of confidence.

And I second the NO BOOZE... if it wasn't for that, I would already be at goal I bet! bugger.

Good luck ladies!

I know I'm so super excited about those concerts. Don't laugh at me but those are going to be my first concerts ever and I'm 21!! Every time I tell someone that they freak out.

A massage sounds fantastic. I actually had my first one on my 21st bday!

I am so ready to hit my ultimate goal. I am determined to reach it by the end of June. My actual mini goals are listed in my signature. I'm in saving mode for my trip to Scotland, so I don't really have any rewards planned (well except for the trip, which is sort of my ultimate reward).
