What Are YOUR Goals?

Hi,

I am 40 and weigh 65, I need to lose 10Kg to my weight before my third baby.

My healthy goal is the decrease my middle by 6 inches or more!

By 31 October, I will :
* have created a pattern of regular, healthy eating that works with my lifestyle and metabolism ie. no more skipping meals all over the place
* fit comfortably into clothes 3 sizes down from my current size (Australian sizes are different, so I won’t bother posting them)
* be able to run all the way to the bus stop without even getting winded
* be flexible enough to do ALL the exercises in the shapeshifter program
finally, ultimately, and most importantly
* be happy and confident in my body.

I’ve already reached the body fat percentage and the shape that I like.. Now my goal is to gain conditioning strenght and endurance, so that I can stay in this shape but with harder and more performing muscle. I would like to improve my elasticity and my balance (these two seem to be my hardest goals to achieve)

This is the newest thing you’ll hear
Everybody talks about the guys with healthy joints or muscle
No body talks about non-surgical therapy and post-surgery therapy, and the most important, maintaining results if not increasing them

For example, knee injuries require exercises which grants:
#1 knee stability and muscle strength with the ability to tolerate the load of ‘all’ of:
the body
the daily activities “of the week”
the rough times, especially if he is a soccer player or so

#2 maintenance of that strength and load tolerance

#3 knee flexibility and mobility

#3 time, effort, amount of training per week which is sufficient, and leaves space for his job and his life, and his game — if he is a player

#4 availability
workouts which can be at home, so that he could workout any time in the day, any day in the week, no matter the weather, how far the gym is or how crowded, and time!

Hi Joel,
I’m 5’3 155lbs not sure what my BF is but I know it’s high. My main goal is to lose BF and build some build some muscle. I liked to be down to 130lbs I hope this is a realistic goal in 16 wks. I’m going to give it my all.

I want to lose 28lbs in 16 weeks, be fitter, able to run for longer and start to fit into some of my lovely clothes.

I’m currently 82kg and want to get to about 75kg and 12% body fat. Have to get rid of the little gut I’ve developed and get to a 31″ waist to look good for the Summer!

I would like to drop 30 pounds and look and feel great again.

I’m 165 (5’5) and weight 93,4kg (about 210 I guess), bf 38% (started at 45%), I’m obese but don’t look it. My goal for the next 16 weeks is to drop bf% by 8% – to be at 30%, any lower would be awesome – it took me 9 months to get to 38%!

I am 6’3″ 206 lbs just dipped under 20% bf having started out at 235 and 26.5% bf (as measured by tanita scales, also having 12 site poliquin testing by my ART specialist 20.8% by this method 4 weeks ago) Getting shoulder worked on so no chest shoulder work at minute only arms legs and back with cardio. Once shoulder suitably rehabbed redoing Joels rapid fat loss transformation with goal of getting to 190 but getting bf way down to 8 – 10% and building muscle back up, love that program Joel intensity is savage and legendary down our gym the looks I was getting (lightweights were getting pale faced just watching me go at it) Props to Vinnie man your conditioning in Stage shredded inspiring, hell I watch your dvds during my stupid o’clock in the morning cardio, made me even consider getting to that level and trying out for a show but the clock is against me, 2 weeks til 39 :-(

Hey Joel,
Thanks for all your encouragement. in 2009 I lost about 60 lbs. I still have a lot of loose belly skin and I would like to lose another 25 lbs and tighten belly and chest flab and gain more lean musle.

I would like to lose about 20lbs, I’ve lost 20Ibs so far, but I am still extra weight!

Over the next 16 weeks, I want to lose 12 lbs. That is 60% of my eventual goal.

I am 49 years old, 5’2″ and 123 lbs. I would like to loose 5 to 10 pounds and firm up my body as well as correct my posture.

I’m in the 6th week of a 16 week plan already! My goal is to lose the last 15 pounds to reach my goal weight of 188 pounds. I’m 61yo, 6’4 and weigh 200 now, so my goal might be a little beyond my reach… but that helps keep it interesting.

I would like to lose 16lbs in 16 weeks, I think it can’t be that difficult! I have tried before and self sabotage stops me in my tracks so the spiral continues and my starting weight this time is my highest one yet. Help me to help myself.

hi.. i am 6ft tall and weighing over 240lbs… seriously overweight… must have about 40% body fat… i want to lose it all ie come down to 10% body fat levels with a weight of 180-190 lbs…. that is something i desire very very much and am willing to do pretty much anything other than going in for surgery at this time :) cheerio.

Hi Joel,
I bought several plans over the past 4 months (25 lbs in 25 days, XFLD, the secret abs formula, double edged fat loss, the 21 metabolism boosting switches, and so on…) and since then, the noticeable change is that I get a lot of email from you, Rob and Dr. K! Cannot say I have made much progress in anything:-( My goal is to lose 30 lbs of fat, be strong and look toned. 17 weeks puts me at November 1 and I’ll be 63 then. Here’s hoping I’ll succeed along with so many who are making the public commitment :-)

I am 35 years old, 5’3″ and weight 118. My arms look great but I still have lower-body issues. My goal for the next 16 weeks is to shed the remaining fat on by butt and thighs and then build my glutes and hams.

@ dave b:

Ok, so I’m 5’10” and have been plateaued between 175 and 180 for months now… would love to get down to 165, losing some belly fat in the process and gaining some more muscle…

@ dave b: My November 1 goal is 211 lb. My November 6 goal is a 4:45 marathon.

I’m woking hard to get in as good of shape as Flavia…She is my inspiration!

I’m 5,7″ and my goal is to add 20 lbs of muscle in one or two month. Im at 8 percent bodyfat and goin to go back to 5 percent or so once again.

My goal is to lose 45lbs and 15% body fat. I want to drop 3 more dress sizes (I have already dropped 2 since following your program).
