What Are YOUR Goals?

I want to loose 40 kg all together have lots of floppy skin at the moment needs to loose fat and tone up would love to drop a few dress sizes in 16 weeks have been involved with this for 3 weeks and r feeling etter in myself only droped 2 kgs so far

In the words of Travis Bickle: December Eighth, “I gotta get in shape. Too much sitting has ruined my body. Too much abuse has gone on for too long. From now on there will be 50 pushups each morning, 50 pullups. There will be no more pills, no more bad food, no more destroyers of my body. From now on will be total organization. Every muscle must be tight.”

I’m 28 and mother of 3. In 16 weeks I am lean (er), 27″ waist, 36″ hips, & 21″ thighs. Inches have melted off my body simply and natrually.

I am near my goal. Only two pounds to go. But of course, they’re the most stubborn.

lol… I got Dr. K’s email first…

The short version of what I wrote there is: I want to ease my arthritis, increase range of motion, and build strength. Specifically, I want to be able to reach a shelf above my head or bend down to pick up objects from the floor without being in excruciating pain.

I can’t help the bad genetics. I can help what action I take.

My sixteen week goal to lose 20 pounds to reach 150 pounds. To achieve this I must work out or do cardio 5 to 6 days every week.

My goal is to accomplish both that you mentioned (lose body fat and gain muscle), but my true goal in the end of all this is to become a healthier person – physically, mentally and emotionally and bring about peace in all of myself. :)
I believe that my part of my goal to lose body fat and gain muscle will bring me so much closer to achieving my overall goal – therefore it is important part of the goal.
Currently I have lost 27 lbs since last April already and I still have another 30 to go. I am a member of the FT program and I have found this a great help in acheiving my goals, but must admit fell off track during the summer. My overall goal for the next 16 weeks is lose at least 20 lbs, but more so to gain muscle and become healthier and stronger and more at peace with my whole self. Always open though to more help and suggestions.

I am 59 years old, I teach 4 hours of extreme water aerobics per week and I work with a personal trainer one day. I still battle with the middle age spread. I want to lose 10 pounds in the next 16 weeks. Adding your program along with what I do will be the ticket!

Want to lose 10 pounds and continue to build muscle

I am about 5′ 6″ and about 175lb, want to lose about 16 lb, but have fallen in the ice and sprained my ribs and have bursitis at the moment, I suspect my weight problems may stem from a lifetime of skipping meals and not eating for up to a fortnight if someone upset me since the age of 18, but our gp’s nurse rubbishes that idea, and said if I ate less I’d lose weight, I still have to remind myself to eat, as not eating had become an ingrained habit (from UK)

I actually have a 20 week goal which in to lose 60 pounds. I know I can do it; I’ve done it before;)
I will remain focused on exercise and nutrition, and would like to be running outside come spring 2011.

I need to once and for all lose 35 pounds. I am in my mid-40’s but do not want to look like I am! Beyond that, I need to feel good about myself. This weight is affecting so many aspects of my life. The thought of not losing it is too depressing.

hey joel i’m 18 years old, 5 foot 9, and i weigh 189 pounds.. i have ripped arms and legs.. but yet i still have a bit of belly fat.. to much to reveal abs.. i would like to lose 20 pounds of fat to finally see those abs!!

I am 5’9″ and 225lbs. My goal is to get to 185lbs by my birthday at the end of February when I turn 40.

PS I used to go to the Gym regularly but can no longer afford it, so have cobbled together a regime of regular long brisk walks and hubby’s weights (barbells and ankle/wrist weights)

I want to lose 30lbs and I want most of it to be belly fat. I’m going to be 25 this month and I’ve never had a baby, but it looks like I have. I’m not ok with this anymore.

My goal is drop body fat to 15-18% now at 23% i’m 52 years oid been working out for 3 yrs now lost 115 lbs so far and 20% fat. Hop-e to build more muscle also.

My goal is to retone my core I’m 4 weeks post tripple hernia surgery, and ready to get back to exercizing

32 years old, 6′-4″, 215lbs…looking to regain 10lbs lost with a relocation and a new addition to the family. Hitting it hard after a 2 month break.

I’m 5ft 8” and weigh 68 kg, my goal is to gain 10-12 kg in muscle

My goal is to drop 10 pounds of fat and keep the muscle I’ve got. I ran a series of Triathlons last Spring which were very a very inspiriational way to celebrate my 48th Birthday season!!
My job as an actor requires me to remove my shirt. In the past that has not been a negative…BUT I want it to become a POSITIVE.
My goal is to get applause when the shirt comes off! 10 lbs off and maintain my present muscle mass ought to do it!! 16 weeks baby lets go!!!!!

Hi.
I’m a 21 year old girl whose weight is 60kg and height 157cm. My goal is to tone up my abdominal muscles and to lose the excess fats in my thighs. I am going to achieve me goal by drinking more water, eat more fruits and vegetables as well as continue my jogging regime of twice a week besides doing aerobic exercises twice a week.

Hey Joel,

First off – thank you so much for your inspiring information all year long! Last year at this time, I was incredibly out of shape and in a pretty big funk. My weight was the only thing I thought about. I used to be in really great shape and 8% body fat. Then I turned 21 and things went downhill – it took me almost 4 years to realize that. Last year I made the goal to be more healthy. I ran a half marathon and got myself into relatively decent shape. Although I have toned up a lot – I’ve only lost about 10 pounds. My goal for this year is to lose 20 more lbs and get down to the weight I used to be. I take a bootcamp class 3x/week, and mix the other days up with weight training and double cardio.

Cheers to 2011!
Kim

Hi Joel,

Been following your program and advice now for some time, and have always felt intrigued by your techniques and explanations for how to get the results that you are proving (as well as other people sharing their stories), and have always thought about how I can implement such changes into my life.

I was a diamond drill helper for a time, and was pretty well in the best shape of my life; constantly active, able to eat healthy (money was definitely not an issue) and I was happy and really felt like I was on top of the world, and in fantastic shape. All that changed about 2 years ago, when an incident during a project transfer caused an injury to my back. Since that time, I have been scared to do much lifting or exercising due to the injury I sustained, and the constant feeling that it could happen again any time (I heard it all the time: “You hurt your back, it’ll never be the same and it’ll only be a matter of time before you blow it out again.”

But since that time, I had enough of feeling sorry for myself, and find myself with a not-so insignificant weight gain. I have started with simple exercises (core strengthening and what-have-you) to get myself back to at least some workable shape, and my goal over the next 16 weeks is to try and regain some of that strength I once had, and drop maybe about 20 lbs worth of fat that I had “earned” through my little holiday. In effect, with the tips and tricks that you have shared with me (and everyone else, of course) this will allow me to start to reach for my goals of being healthy again, and the rest of it will come quickly.. at least, that’s my new goal.

My goal within 16 weeks is to lose 20lbs of fat and to start putting on lean muscle. I want to be in shape and have more energy to do things. Also would like to drop two to three dress sizes going from a 12-14 to a 9-10.
