What are your 2008 Weight Loss Goals? - Page 6

emeraldskye · 02-22-2008, 11:00 PM

Sheesh, I'm posting on this thread a little late.

My weight loss related goal is to reach my ultimate goal of 135 lbs by Dec.31.

Since I regularly encounter stalls, this gives me a good time frame to achieve this.

Hopefully this thread will help me keep somewhat accountable.

irasema78 · 02-23-2008, 08:13 AM

My goal is to fit in a size 9!!

charmcitygirl · 02-23-2008, 12:18 PM

my goals for 2008:

weight loss of course,
become more active,
eat healthier,
drink more water,
be able to wear my wedding ring again...i haven't worn it in about 3 years because it doesn't fit

...cannot bring myself to have it resized...

steelelori · 02-25-2008, 04:21 AM

1. Get back down to 150.
2. Get down to 140.
3. Wear the smallest pair of jeans in my closet! Probably a size 9.
4. Exercise at least 3 days a week!

CosmicMuffin · 02-25-2008, 11:20 AM

I have a 12 week goal to drop at least 2 sizes.

Christi722 · 02-26-2008, 11:46 AM

My goal is 50lbs. I'm hoping for a 5lb per month loss.

Hopelizabeth · 02-27-2008, 08:06 AM

I had lost 30 pounds and gained back 15!! I would like to reloose those 15 PLUS another 30. Hit the gym more, get more sleep, take time for myself...

OutofTheWoods · 02-28-2008, 10:35 AM

I want this to be the first year I can wear a bikini....and enjoy my 20's without being self concious.

slimlane · 02-28-2008, 10:55 AM

I want to start and follow through with low-carb and get to 170 by September 22. My 37th b-day.

momof2sons · 03-04-2008, 02:05 PM

I want to reach my goal-160- before I turn 40 in November!

BrandNewMe2004 · 03-05-2008, 07:08 AM

Hmm.. I've always, in the past, pooched goals w/ time tables that I've set for myself. But, if I can stay on plan and lose ~10 pounds a month for the rest of the year, I can be under 200 by the New Year. Maybe Christmas. My present to myself - being under 200 pounds.. For the 1st time in ~15 years. That would be the best gift ever.

I think as long as I do stay on plan, even if I'm not quite there yet, I'll still feel like a winner.

Or a loser, really. LOL

jabbok · 03-07-2008, 02:36 PM

well I am a little late but my goal is to lose 45 lbs by the end of 2008, but I would like to lose at least 25 lbs by the end of July as my daughter is getting married. My plan also includes working out at least 5 days a week

PhillyDude · 03-09-2008, 02:02 PM

To get to Goal which is 165lbs or more specifically a 32 inch waist.

low carb mother · 03-10-2008, 05:41 PM

Well I started again for gosh I don't know how many times with Adkins on 2/11/08 my weight that day was 168.6 and today I am at 161. Yes I have had some slip up but desperatly want to be around 137 to 140 by June 14th you see my youngest daughter is getting married in Antiqua and I cannot wait. I will not even look at dresses until May. I refuse to be a fat Mother of the bride so I need all the support I can get.

Woo · 03-12-2008, 02:05 PM

I lost 28 lbs in 2006 then fell totally off the wagon and gained 14lbs so I started again in Sept 07 and have lost the 14lbs plus another 14lbs up to Feb 08. Then we went on a 4 week holiday in Feb and on return I had gained 6 lbs and I have lost that since 1 Mar 08 so am back on track and determined to be 135lbs by July 08 (currently 162lbs)

bilsan · 03-13-2008, 03:45 PM

I gained the last of 07 . So my 08 goal is to drop 20 more lbs and stay put as much as I can over the summer . Allowing 5 lbs either way to play with . Also to do some biking and hiking . Sandy

skinhealth · 03-17-2008, 12:47 AM

I would like to make Callanetics a regular part of my life - complete almost 150 hours more by the end of the year.

Get back down to 130-135 pounds/size 6 by end of summer.

Have killer legs and behind again, find my collarbone again, have great arms for the 1st time ever,...

Chunker · 03-22-2008, 03:22 PM

What do I do? I have a spare tire and the dang things flat.....help!!!

freshstart08 · 03-23-2008, 10:23 PM

My goals for 2008 are to get down to 190 by summer, and stay there!

And to keep eating LC foods once I reach my goal. And stay healthy.

beepeeme · 03-25-2008, 02:10 AM

100 big ones!!

fatfreddie · 03-26-2008, 07:12 AM

I would love to get under 210 by summer!!! Boating season is coming tooo quick!!!

Lrr9305 · 03-26-2008, 11:38 AM

My goal is to lose 75lbs Sep 1, 2008...... If i cant get it in that (which I will) I give myself to Dec 26, 2008.

By Sept thats 15 lbs a month.
By Dec that is 22 lbs a month.

I'm going to stick to this, I promised my mom her first grandchild in 2009.

4furbabies · 03-28-2008, 04:23 PM

I want to lose 50 lbs by the middle of September. Then I'll go from there.

chewiegand · 03-28-2008, 05:06 PM

I also lost about 80 pounds in 2007. Actually my one year anniversary was Feb. 21. I am struggling right now but it's not with weight gain just maintaining. I lost in January and February, small amounts like 2-3 pounds a month. I've stayed the same all through March but I'm dealng with all kinds of excess stress in life right now so I guess maintaining it good. I want to lose 50 more pounds but more than that I want to tone up and tighten up. In August we are going to the beach for 2 weeks so I have to be bathing suit ready. I plan to be.

Also, I want to make healthy food choices and not eat too much "frankenfood" cause it just can't be good for you.

Good thread. It's interesting to read everyone's goals.

Browneyez · 03-30-2008, 10:33 AM

I liked the title of this forum and thought if you didn't mind I would share my goals!

My biggest goal is to reach my "first goal" of 135, my second goal is to get back to exercising so I can lose a few more. What I want most is to finally tone the excess flab on this body of mine. I bought a total gym and just need to figure it all out. I have the summer off so it should be doable!

I wish that all your goals are reached. Anything is possible when you put your

and soul into it! Good Luck one and all and may the whoosh fairy come your way!

CTIgrad · 03-30-2008, 10:41 PM

1) Fit into my motorcycle jacket
2) Be under 200 lbs by my friends wedding in September

Tami_ks · 04-02-2008, 06:11 PM

Well, at this point ANYTHING would be an improvement. In 2006 I started Atkins at 225lbs and got down to 176lbs. (I'm 5'10)I got off of it when I got a desk job and have gained it all back PLUS 8 lbs. So.................here I am again.

It REALLY took me alot of motivation(almost 2 years) to get back to low carb. I just started induction 3 days ago and am having a hard time not eating the house down! lol

It didn't seem as hard to start last time but this time
it isn't easy. However, I am going to keep at it and hopefully be able to "presentably" wear a bathing suit this summer!

Good luck to everyone and their goals in 2008!

dchev · 04-05-2008, 02:04 AM

I would like to get to my ideal weight 200 and stay there.

I'm 43 with a loving wife whom I want to grow old with and two great kids that I want to see grow up and do thier own thing.

My goal is to make this a lifestyle change.

Skinny Train · 04-06-2008, 03:06 PM

My goals are:

To make low carb a habit for life.
I would like to weigh 110 pounds less by the end of the year.
