    What are your ULTIMATE goals once you reach a healthier you?

    For me, I want to run a 5K. No sweat to some (or many?) of you, but I abslolutely hate running. Not the running itself, but the feeling out of breath, hurting knees, etc. And my other goal, I want to wear a bikini and be able to like the way I look while wear it in pictures. Not a takini, a bikini. Just once. I've never ever been able to wear one. It's a silly stupid thing, but it's me.

    My goals are a lot like yours. I would love to run a 5K! And I've always wanted to wear a bikini but haven't been able to. I'm 21.. this is when I'm supposed to love my body! I'm getting there though. Two years ago I didn't have a waist line.. it was all like round flab. But my waist started showing pretty good about 10-15 pounds ago. And I'm ok with my arms and legs... but they still need some improvement. My biggest problem is my belly! I can't wait to see what I'll look like when I do reach my goals.

    All the best guys...looks like you have a fantastic group here! I would love to give this ago! but not too sure when labour day is? lol
    I'm guessing maybe you're from England? :happy: Mainly because of the spelling of labor/labour. Then again maybe I'm way off! :laugh: Just wondering....:smile:

    What are your ULTIMATE goals once you reach a healthier you?

    I'd like to do an Olympic distance triathlon (1k swim, 40k bike, 10k run). I've done over each of those events/distances seperately, but have never done all 3 together and definitely need to brush up on the running and swimming. There is a local one in August, but I think I may need to find one in the fall or maybe just next summer. Also, I'd like to do a Century ride (100 mile bike ride). That last one should be do-able by the end of summer. :smile:

    If it's not too late, I would love to join! I just joined on this website last week, and I love it! As of yesterday, my current weight is 179.6. I would love to be at 145 or less. I like to exercise and make time for it, but I have a desk job and tend to eat big portions of food (as well as gasp, beer!!) This looks like a very motivational group!

    Okay small success: today was my grandmother's 95th birthday (yes, my parents had me late in life lol) and there was all kinds of good food. But I stayed within my calories AND only had a small piece of cake! Usually special occasions are my way of making an excuse to eat what I want. But not today. I planned out my calories before I left and stuck to it. Actually, I even ate less than I logged!

    My ultimate goal for all of this: is to love myself more and have a lot more energy. I know that right now, I can be a little bit of a depressant with how I feel about myself.

    I am really hoping to have the body that I've always wished to have and I hope that I can feel comfortable enough to wear a bikini. I want to love exercise again and be able to keep up with everyone that is on my team.

    Good morning everyone!

    Wanted to check in and say that yesterday was really hard for me. I stayed ended up going over my calories by about 150... and i didn't excercise... one good thing about yesterday was that I logged everything I ate , and I usually forget something or leave something out. So one small success : )

    Are weigh ins on Mondays?

    You are not alone! I do this all the time. I am going to try to do the same thing, and not eat after 8 pm. It is just so hard cause you get hungry and start to think, Oh no big deal, i will just eat one cookie, or one chip... well for me one = one hundred! lol. Just stick with it and you will be in that bikini in no time!

    We're you shadowing me yesterday? I didn't plan my meals, I didn't exercise, and I went over my calories by 156ish! Today's a new day and I'm back on track. :)

    Oh, and yes, weigh-in on Mondays!
