What Are YOUR Goals?

My 16 week goal – starting July 2 – will be to lose 25 lbs. and to get rid of my belly fat so that I look good without a shirt. Because of this weight loss, I will most likely be able to get off of a high blood pressure med and a cholesterol med as well.I am 62 years old and want to be as healthy as possible.

My goal is to be 170lbs and 20% body fat.

In 16 weeks I will be competing in my 3rd Tough Mudder Tri-State run which is a 13 mile course with approximately 30 obstacles. In the past 2 I have been unable to complete some of the wall climbs and money bars over the water. I need to increase my strength to finish the whole course. My fat loss goals are to add 5 pounds of lean muscle and get my body fat into single digits.

I want to gain five pounds of muscle and get a six pack.

My goal is to finally lose the 40 pounds I gained because I quit smoking. It has been weighing me down now for five (5) years and I keep trying to lose it but it has cost a lot of money to date. I had lung cancer so I quit smoking. I had an operation to remove part of my left lung; then chemotherapy for 4 months. During this time I was out of work and watched “The Food Channel” for most of the time. I ate and had no motivation; was depressed and just got bigger. I never had a weight problem in my life. This has been so troubling for me and I really need to get this weight off. HELP.

I think I am in a good shape but i would love to add some kilos of pure muscle! I am genetically between mesomorphic and ectomorphic bodies and I still cannot manage this duality! A little help would be great!

Dear Joel,

I went from 40 and super fit to 50, fat and slow. Play multiple C&W recordings here. I got a grip. I managed to lose and keep off 16 pounds over a year but have been stuck for 3 months. I really want to lose another 16 pounds and gain some muscle tone (3-4 pounds) over the next six months for my marriage. I have a very slight frame so these are huge changes for me. I have been fast walking 30 minutes morning and night and mostly stopped eating biscuits, crackers and processed snacks. I live in China and my good available/affordable food options are local vegetables, fruit and farmed protein. There are “tons” of (literally) expats just like me who need your help and don’t qualify to join the local “Fat Boot Camp”. Look forward to chatting with you.

Ready to charge!
Ray

Hi Joel
My goal is to lose about 10poundd in all the different areas and just gain muscle. This is a great opportunity to work with you I have always wanted to workout with a personal trainer and it would be great to know how to workout the right way because it is a challenge.

I’m a 17 yr old guy who has crazy strength but not a lot of muscle an gains fat in a heartbeat so my 16 week goal would be to get in the best shape of my life work my a** off and be able to take whatever life throws at me! I want to learn how to stay lean and healthy not just for now but for the future when I’m older.

My goal is loose 40lbs and be cut as much as possiable. I have always been in good shape until I hit about 44 and my metabolism just stopped now I look like a am 4 months pregnat very bloated please help me I am 47 year old female wanting her great shape back. I have always been into working out but now I see myself so fat it is hard to get going.

Hi Joel (and Dan)! Thank you for this opportunity.

Age: 41
Height: 4’11”
Weight: 162 lbs

I’ve lost 15 lbs in the last 6 weeks following some of your tips. It’s a good start but still a long way to go. I have 4 kids and have yet to shed the pregnancy weight I gained for each one. I’d also like to set a good example for my family and give myself every chance to be here for many, many more years. :)

My goal: lose 40lbs of fat, gain some muscle, feel healthy — be fit and feisty! hehe

Oh! ……. and HAVE A FLAT TUMMY again! :D

Thanks for all you do, Renee

P.S. Sorry if double post…my browser crashed. :/

My goal is to lose the extra weight i gained after I had my son. I am in the Air Force and am trying my best to get back into shape. I was 150 before I had him and went up to 212. Currently I am at 160, but for some reason cannot lose my stomach. I have tried pills, I have changed my diet and I go to the gym 4-5 times a week. I do an hour long workout – with a mixture of things I do- and still I cannot lose the baby gut!! I could use any help I can get.

My goal is to get rid of some more of the weight and get more fit at the same time. I’ve already lost 100 pounds, I’m trying to keep it going. I’ve been on a plateau for about 8 months, and been trying almost everything to get it going again.

Hi Joel!
I am going to be 46 and have almost given up any hope of getting leaner. I have exercised considerably over the past three years but did not knock off a single pound. The scales would show four pounds off today and tomorrow they’d be back. My physio said it could be ‘hormones’ and age-related stuff. There was no other reason for such fluctuation. I have been nearly 170 pounds and stuck:( I wish to lose 25 pounds and get more muscle. It doesn’t help that I have arthritis and my knee hurts often. And a busy work schedule too! Would love to know that it is possible to in shape.

I would like to add about 10lbs of lean muscle without the bulking fat. I’ve mastered my body type on losing weight and getting shredded, but putting on muscle while staying lean has been the challenging part. I’m 5’10lbs, 160lbs, 35yrs old, about 10% bodyfat, visible 6-pack.

I am 30 years old. I’ve lost almost 40lbs in the last two years while building muscle & battling a stupid heart condition that sends it running off 250 bpm at times. That’s tuff! It’s been hard but I only have 15lbs to go to meet my goal. I enjoy the newsletter & articles & I love free stuff. Don’t give it to me! Please don’t pick some gym ray like me. Pick ➡Jo Ann Sims!⬅ Or someone who really need the help. If u see this Jo Ann don’t give up! It’s hard but u can do it! Thanks Joel for what u do. Your Awesome Bro! God bless u all.

My 16 week goal is to get into the lowest fat percentage I can while adding muscle and toning my curves! I want to be able to see my ab definition as well as leg muscle definition. I would like to get rid of arm flab and extra around my hips!! I am getting married in 4 months, so I would love to look my best!!

I have never been good at setting my goals. Any goal I ever set seems to be destined for failure the moment I put pen to paper or finger to keypad. Anyway I’d like to just drop 20lbs of fat over the next 16 weeks.
Age 47
Height 5’9
Weight ? BTW 240-250lbs

When I was in the united states marine corps I slipped to discs in my back, pinched a nerve and blew out my knee due to an improvised explosive devise attack on my wolf pack. They told me id never be able to run another mile again…. I’m running three… My goal is to get to a point where my injuries no longer determine my workouts and capabilities, I want to be able to run 10 miles again and feel great… I know my goals are not one of appearance like most on here but my goals are very near and dear to my heart and I WILL shatter them

I’ve been exercising daily for over 6 months but am just not losing my belly fat. I’d like to lose the inches, not necessarily the pounds.

My goal is to lose an additional 25 pounds which looks like a six pack abs, waist, 14″ biceps, and 23″ thighs.
Additionally, my goal is to grow my telemedicine business from a website to 100,000 members that utilize our telemedicine services 24 hours a day 7 days a week. We have over 1000 doctors contracted and qualified throughout the USA.

I’d like to lose 25 lbs. and get in the best shape of my life doing it!!!! I want to be toned and healthy, strong and fit!!!

My goal for the next 16 weeks is to gain my fitness level back. I am a ballet instructor and the mommy of two amazing boys and have gained almost 40 pounds due to lack of exercise and poor nutrition. I’m so mad at myself for letting my health slip like this. It was really easy to loose track of all my motivation because I was no longer dancing. I would like to loose at least 40 pounds and tone up. I would like to increase my flexibility to the next level. I am in serious need of motivation and help and love that I’ve found this website. Good luck everyone with your goals!!

my 16 week goal is to lose 3-5 lbs a week AND firm up so I don’t have saggy skin from losing weight!

I’ve got myself from 182 lbs, and who knows how much body fat to 163 and about 15%. My 16 week goal is to drop 2-3% more on the body fat and put back on 7 lbs. of pure muscle. Think you can do that for me, Joel? I’d love to see it!
