Your Goal Date?


Quote  |  Reply

I was just curious as to when people expect to reach their goals?

When I use the expenditure button, it tells me that if I lose a pound a week, I can reach my goal by January.  However, in CC+,  there is also the date right next to the "Thumbs Up" sign, which says March 2008.  (Down from October 2010, then from April 2008).

So when do you expect to reach your goal, and does anyone have matching dates?

It was July 2007, now I hope Dec.2007, but with my crappy body having a plateau for a month every time I lose a pound, I doubt it:(
I expect to reach my goal sometime around April 2008 as well, this is at my current weight loss rate and my sedentary job. :)
I'm hoping to meet my "mini goal" by November, although progress is slow. :( Keep at it guys!

Deosn't progress always seem slow?

I don't really have a choice... I have to stop losing in January due to some sports competition, so I really should not lose weight from jan through march.  I'd really like to reach my goal by new years... 

Hmm...well I should hopefully meet my major goal of 135 by Sept 29. It would be my lowest weight ever, and over 100 lbs lost from my highest point.

I wont know until then, but I expect I will keep trying to lose weight...while focusing more on adding muscle Oct - December. By mid-Decimber Im going to want to stop dieting and shit into maint so Im ready for snowboarding season (cant WAIT to be lighter on my board!!!).
Well, I started at about 220lbs in March 2006 and lost about 50lbs (give or take) by last September. Now, I am just bouncing back and forth between 166 (my low) and 170 (my high). I try to avoid weighing myself more than once a week.

The good thing is, I have been mantaining for almost a year, at a MUCH healthier weight. The bad thing is, DAMN THIS LAST 20lbs!! (I don't have a "goal weight" carved in stone, I just think somewhere around 150 would be perfect for me).

Being realistic, I think I could be at my goal by the end of '07 - so long as I shake things up, which I am in the process of doing (different cardio, more, smaller meals, weight training).

Good luck everyone! We can DO IT!!

I want to loose 40-50 pounds by march 2008
I wanted to lose 60 pounds by December 31th when I started this april.

So far I lost 31 pounds, 29 to go. Actually my real goal was to lose 45 pounds by december but I upped the bar cause it seems to be possible to lose more, and with the last 29 pounds lost i would be really really fit and healthy ^^


"You should consume about 2031 calories a day to reach your goal weight of 74 kgs by December 31, 2007."

Well that shouldn't be the problem, I am eating between 1900 and 2000 cals a day. But I fear I might miss my goal, but who cares if I reach it within the next 4 months or 6 months, I have time, plenty of time.
i have to eat 1200 or so to reach my goal by christmas. i would be sooo happy if that happened. really, i just want to start my new year off at the weight i have wished for every year for as long as i can remember. i just want to see 115 once. even if i gained it all back (although i will do everything i can not to) i would be happy that i at least acomplished it once.
1200 cals is pretty low, I would rather die than eat that little :D
i'm definitely a slow loser (8 pounds lost in 2 months), but i also don't feel like i'm giving anything up...so, no worries.  i would love to be another 25 down by the end of 2007, and reach my final goal by my birthday in mid-april.  if i don't make it, it's okay so long as i continue to lose.
My first mini goal is September 9th 2007.  That is the day of my daughters first birthday- and I have had a goal to be down to 125 within a year of giving birth.

My ultimate goal is 120 and I would like to reach that by Thanksgiving day.....
My goal date is April 16th 2008.  I hope to weigh 130 for a total loss of 80 lbs.  I am on my way :)
My goal said it would take till mid-October for me to get from 130 to 115..but I think it will take a bit longer..
Is NOW a good answer ???  I was hoping to be at my ideal weight by now, started last September, but failed...  Started at 165 lbs. then by April was down to 134 lbs (yeah!!) but gained 10+ pounds back after that!!!  I am trying like hell to drop those 10 pounds again and then still continue to lose!  Damn it!!!

I just want to lose ten pounds of body fat specifically... I don't need to lose weight but I actually made a bet with my husband that I could lose ten pounds of fat before he could lose ten pounds period and the winner gets $300.  :-0!

 The only rule is, you can't starve yourself.  I checked my body fat at the beginning and it was 33%!!!!  That's 45 pounds of fat!!!  I haven't gotten mine rechecked yet and need to soon. 

 My husband is overweight and he is very competitive.  Competition is really the only thing that truly motivates him.  So I made this bet with him, even though i don't need to lose weight (I'm 135 and 5'8").  Honestly though, even if i did get down to 125 (not likely) it would still be a 'safe' weight.  But I really don't care if I lose or gain pounds as long as I put on some muscle and get rid of this FAT!!!  

Oh yeah... my goal date is november 1st. 
October 20 something hopefully.  Hopefully I will be right around goal then, my daughters birthday is on the 20th and so is her party and I would like to look good so I will be okay with being in pictures.  Trying to steer away from the camera lately.
I started at 271 on June 11. When I first created my goals (currently at 160), CC said that it would be possible to reach that for September of 2008.

With CC+ though: it says that the way that I'm losing, I should reach my goal by March 6 or 7th. Something like that. It would be really awesome to reach goal 6 months sooner than I thought was possible. =) But with all the holidays and my lack of will power... haha... September of next year is still probably the most reasonable.

I really thought that the 6 month difference was pretty big though.
i want to lose 12lb by the 1st october for a darren hayes concert not for any reason its just a good and memorable date to work towards :D
