What is your non-scale goal?

Pandapotato

Hi guys,

Everyone says "I want to reach X weight," but the weight is more than a number-- it represents something bigger to us. I thought it would be fun to see what everyone is working for that has nothing to do with stepping on a scale and seeing the right number.

What is one non-NUMBER goal you have? A fitness event? Looking great a reunion?

As for me, I have, no kidding, 8 to 10 really nice pairs of jeans ($90 to 100 each) in a box in the closet, and I haven't worn them since 2010 or so. I'm wearing el cheapo jeans I don't even like and dammit, I want to bust out this PILE of awesome clothes I can't wear! I'm actually thinking of digging through them, finding the cutest pair, and leaving it somewhere I can see them frequently to keep me on track.

My original goal was to fit back into my size 8 jeans and now I wear a size 6 at the same goal weight.

My motivation is being able to put my helmet on when I go for a ride and not look like a have a sideways butt crack along my 4 chins. Also, so that I don't have to wear a Jacket riding when it's 95 degrees only to hide my gut. Can't wait for Spring!

A PULL UP! I have crazy long monkey arms. I'm 5'11'' and have a wing span of 6'6''. Someday I will lose enough weight and gain enough mussel to actually do more that hang and struggle!

I want to fit back into my favorite size 8 pair of jeans...I haven't worn them in 6 years.

I also have a really, really cute dress that I want to wear to a wedding this coming spring. It's a size 12 that I haven't fit into for 3 years.

Oooh, good luck! I ran May to Sept last year, lost 25 lbs and went from a 39 min 5k to 32. And then.... fell off the wagon. sigh. It's amazing though how fast you can improve with training!!

I want to do a Tough Mudder. I was hoping to do it this year, but pregnancy changed my plans. I'm now looking at Oct 10 or 11 of 2015.

To become a triathelete and eventually an ironman. To be able to average 20mph cycling on a regular basis. To run a 25 minute 5k (think I am already there, but haven't raced it recently) and 55 min 10k. To get stronger and build more muscle...get rid of all the extra jiggle and then hopefully be able to get a mini tummy tuck instead of a full.

GrammyPeachy

1.To wear a size 10 again, (it's been 10 years)
2. Go dancing in public
3. Take up running

LunaMischief

To look my best for an Anime convention I'm dressing up/cosplaying for at end of January 2015. Both costumes I'm going with are pretty form-fitting, so I'm trying to slim down and look my best.

Even after January, I have quite a few clothes that I'd love to fit into again. Like my favorite pairs of jeans that are size 1s..

Babygi6003

1) To fit into single digit clothes - I'm almost there!
2) To wear a bikini at the beach and be comfy

All I want to do is just feel comfortable with myself. Don't really care about the number or the size or the measurements. Just be happy with yourself.

To do a marathon swim. (10K+)

2. 6pack without flexing

1. Give Birth. LOL, no, seriously. My pelvis and hips are in serious protest these days.
2. Have a healthy pregnancy weight gain. For me, that's 15-25 lbs based on BMI. I'm currently sitting at 18.8 lbs and I have 7 1/2 weeks(ish) left.
3. Continue on losing weight post-baby. Honestly, fitting into jeans smaller than my pre-pregnancy jeans (size 10) will make me happy. I'd like to hit 6 (or less, depending on how I feel).

12_oz_Curls

1/2 Marathon (Done), Duathlon (Bike/Run), and overall keep training my body to climb higher, run farther, swim longer, and do whatever I want to do, not do what I am able to do.
