What are your weight loss goals till then? 66lbs for me! Ambitious yes, impossible no!

Um, well I have a mini goal of 249 by November 1. I'm going on a cruise and seeing my sister who I haven't seen in almost a year. But I would say my new year's goal would be 229. That would have me lighter than I have ever been since I've been with my husband.

Then comes the big goal of 199 by my 30th bday in May!

You can do it!

Thanks! Ya know, for the first time in a LONG time, I think that's true!

I want to be under 200 lbs, so that means about 33 lbs and I'm there. I feel like it is attainable. Good luck to you on your goals!

I just started phase 1 today. My first goal is to make it through phase one without cheating. I'd be over the moon if I lost 25lbs by the end of the year!! If I dropped that amount I'd be back in onederland which I haven't seen in six years. Good Luck everyone.

My goal by the New Year is to be 175. I weighed in at 191 this morning...so that's only 16 more lbs. Eek!! That is TOTALLY attainable!! How exciting! That means I need to lose about 1.3 lbs a week for the next 12 weeks. Oh yeah, totally doable!

I would like to be at a healthy BMI - 164 lbs. That makes just about 20 lbs. for me. Pretty attainable.

My goal is also to be at a healthy BMI by the start of the new year.
I started a few weeks ago and things are going a little more slowly than I'd hoped but I should still be there by 12/31.

I want to be under 150 lbs, so I'll make a goal of 30 lbs.

Lord, that's a scary number for 12 weeks.

I'll be the third to post that I'd like to break out of the 200's by New Year's... I haven't weighed under 200 since 9th grade, so I'm incredibly excited at the prospect of making it!!!

I would love to weigh 135 by then. Or possibly 133 that way I could say that in 1 year I lost 52 pounds in 52 weeks.

Best of luck to all of y'all.

My DH and I have decided to go the SBD way, and plan to start phase 1 by the end of the week (mainly because I need to plan the menu) I would love to at least be down 15 or 20 by then, and firmly planted in the new lifestyle.

Thanks for the reminder, wheee!! It seems so possible!!

I agree! My goal weight was set at the beginning of the year, so I would love to lose another 9-10 lbs by the end of the year. It's not likely since it took me 9 months to lose 12 lbs, but I'll see what I can accomplish in the right direction.

So that's 3 lbs each month until

Thanks for the

Wow - I'm amazed at the aggressive goals! I hope you all make them!!

I know that my last 20 lb. could take a very long time for me, and I've already experienced a month long plateau during this past summer. After going through that and seeing that my body needed a break to adjust before it was ready to lose again, I'm not so goal-oriented with numbers. With that in mind, I'm thinking I'll be happy if I lose another 5 lb. between now and the new year. Slow and steady for me!
