Alex Brecher 10,515 Posted March 27, 2016 Everyone needs a little motivation now and again. Since spring is here and spring break is soon to be history, your next break might be a few days off in the summer. So, it’s a good time to set your goals for this spring so that you can head into summer knowing you look and feel as good as possible. So, what’s your goal for the next couple of months? Are you hoping to lose a certain amount of weight? Schedule your surgery? Complete a challenging hike with your family while on summer vacation? How will you stay motivated over the next little bit?

Chrystee 838 Posted March 28, 2016 My goal is to lose the last 32 pounds. Slow going now! I've got a few half marathons for the fall, so I will continue to train for those. I have a 48 mile bike race in April, and a 75 mile race in June coming up as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jane13 2,256 Posted March 28, 2016 I am shooting for being at a normal weight BMI - 163 - by start of summer June 21st(?). That's about 6 lbs a month {{[[sigh]]}} Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mngreeneyes 674 Posted March 28, 2016 By the first day of summer my goals are to: 1. RUN two 5ks (I already am scheduled, but as of this moment I still can't run long enough to run the full 5k.) 2. Start training for my super sprint Triathlon that will be in August. 3. Get into Onederland! I have just over 19 lbs. to go. pam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Margie122 845 Posted March 28, 2016 My Spring goals are to walk a 5K, to continue using my Fitbit to track my steps (goal is 10,000 a day), and to lose another 10lbs by Memorial Day. I just realized I am no longer considered OBESE by the BMI charts! I'm just OVERWEIGHT! OH JOY OF JOYS I'M OVERWEIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IncredibleShrinkingMan 437 Posted March 28, 2016 10-year college reunion in early June...that will be around the 10 month mark, so hopefully beginning to bottom out right there (this is important because I was at my biggest ever at 5-year reunion). Hoping for a 10K somewhere in May or June. Since I am currently in a stall that has lasted over 6 weeks, I am hoping to kickstart the loss with shakes and salads, as I have eaten to comfort somewhat over the wintertime.

Sleevy Wonder - we had surgery around the same time! I also had a stall that lasted about 6-8 weeks with losing/gaining the same pound over and over....the scale FINALLY moved down this week and I dropped 4lbs. Stick with it my friend!

determinedtolive 134 Posted March 28, 2016 My goals are to lose another 40 pounds between now and surgery on 6/23/16 and kick the fast food habit for good. Those goals kind of go hand in hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gpmed 623 Posted April 6, 2016 My goal is to keep pushing myself to get in better shape, right now through hiking. I joined a couple local hiking groups and completed my first hike Sunday. My Fitbit says I hiked 13 miles, climbed 233 floors and burned 2880 calories. I'd like to be able to do that without being so super sore for two days after!

Christinamo7 4,042 Posted April 6, 2016 my daughter graduates high school in May. I'll need a new outfit and it will not be in the plus size department. Super excited. other than that to keep on keeping on. my sleeve is new and I am learning how to manage this new chance at life.
