  • I've a short term goal of staying on plan and losing 5lbs before a talent show I am putting on on April 27th. I'm going to be hosting it up on stage in front of a bunch of people and I want to make sure I look, and more importantly feel, my best. I find having this goal that is so close has helped me push a little harder. What is your short term goal? ...whatever it is, good luck!
  • RingSize8, that sounds reasonable and I know you can do it! Can I be nosy and ask what your talent will be? or are you the emcee for the show. Do you have a specific outfit you're planning on?

    My first goal, which I met yesterday, was for my leather chaps to be looser. They were tight in January...tried them on yesterday for my first ride of the year and they were loose

    I don't have a specific weight or size I'm hoping for...I'm afraid I'll never be satisfied with myself but in July there is a small biker rally we're going to, and I have an outfit that I want to rock. Being as it's a biker party it is a rather sparse outfit I'm lucky that fishnet stockings are an accepted rally accessory because they sure help my legs!

    (realistically I'm thinking if I was down 5 more pounds I would feel acceptable in it)
  • Working toward the next 10 lbs off and a regular exercise program. Also want to start weighing myself on some sort of regular basis - I'm in the dark as to how much weight I've lost, but I did drop from size 14 to 10 (ok, almost 10 and 12s were too tight, but I wore them anyway. Let's say I dropped a size).

    I have a family gathering in the first part of April and another mid-May - I want to look and feel better than have. And, there's a big function with friends and colleagues in June. Really want to look good for that - maybe have some fun finding the right clothes this time around.
  • My short term goal right now is for next month. I'm going to Coachella again so I want to feel really good about myself while I'm there.

    Long term goal though is to get to the weight my Wii Fit keeps telling me is a healthy weight for me.
  • Six weeks from today I have a wedding to attend and want to get another five pounds off so I feel great in my spring dress. I know it's doable - now to do it!
  • I don't have a goal, which is probably not good. You guys have good goals to aim for. At this point I have lost 20 lbs on SB and I have gotten comfortable at this weight, and I feel good.

    If anything I would like to lose 10 more lbs, but I am at a stand still and have been for the last month, on plan and I am just maintaining. So, I have to fess up and get some kind of goal.
  • I'm aiming for days on plan - going for 30 right now. After that, I'll aim for another 30 with a few planned off-plan meals (bdays, etc). I also want to start and maintain a regular exercise program. Going to start easing into that in the next week or two.
    I don't have a date I wan to reach it by, but I really want to be able to feel comfortable in all my t-shirts this summer without my tummy roll making me feel frumpy.
  • My next goal is to lose 9 lbs. I have already reached 3 of my goals and most of the others will be from 7-10 lbs each time. I have a family reunion in 10 weeks and hope to be down at least another 15 lbs by then.
  • Vermont Mom,
    I'm a teacher and I volunteered to put on your schools first talent show for our kids. Many people will be there - hopefully even our superintendent and a professional football player or two. I took this on all on my own, and I just want to look stunning when I get up on that stage. I'm so proud of what I'm doing for my school, and I want be just as proud of my body! I'll be emceeing and so I'll be up on stage all night, and if I'm feeling self conscious, it's going to be a REALLY long night.
  • I want to buy size 6 shorts from WhiteHouseBlackMarket.
  • great thread!
    My goal is to get into a smaller size and keep improving my health.
  • Great goals all! Attainable too

    I have longer term goals.

    I want to be down another 25 pounds by October of this year for my BFF's wedding (if she has it) and a total of 30 pounds down by the next cruise in December.

    My ultimate goal weight will be 189, my lowest ever, and a size 12. I started SBD in July of last year (for the 3rd time) at 259 pounds and a size 22 pants and XXL or 2x shirts. I am now somewhere teetering between an 18 and a 16 in pants and an XL in shirts (though 1xs are a big big).

    By the end of the year, I want to make it into ONEderland!
  • Actually, I changed my goal. I am having a bit of a problem with binging. I eat healthy throughout the week and then Sundays, I just lose self control. I feel really crummy but I keep doing it Hopefully, I am able to stop. It happened last year and then I stopped. Now, it's starting again. I am hoping to continue the rest of the month binge free. Any tips would be appreciated Wish me luck fellow chicks!
  • My short term goal is to drop another 5lb... Ultimate is to be a size 10 ( i am a 12 now)
  • My goal that I'm working towards right now is 10 unassisted pull-ups. I'm up to 6 now and that is pushing it. I've also been talked into doing a marathon in October, so I guess that is one of my goals too
