    To be happy with myself and my body.
    To not have a protruding belly (almost there, actually, on a good day)
    To be confident in a bathing suit by next summer so that I can take my daughter to the pool
    To fit into my size 3 jeans and the last time I fit into them was at 140 pounds so 40 to go.

    Oh man. I would love to be able to do pull ups without much trouble.

    And be able to flop on a couch and lay/sit comfortably without my jeans riding down or being otherwise uncomfortable because of pinching, etc. I can't tell you why, but that is a super huge goal for me. XD I'm almost there!

    When I started out it was for health reasons and now I got to admit I want to be able to wear something wildly inappropriate for my age and look good in it.

    I want to get back into long distance cycling again. I did an 82.67 km ride on Saturday ... so I'm not there yet, but I'm building up.

    I also want to be able to climb (cycling) to the top of Mt Wellington here in Hobart. I am a flatlander from Canada. Climbing (by bicycle) is absolutely not my thing. Climbing is really horrible. But I'm told that if I lose weight, I'll find climbing easier. We'll see.

    Initially it was to get as close to 12 stone as I could. Havent weighed that since I was a teenager and previous weight loss attempts stalled at around 12 st 5lbs.

    Then I got to 12 in November so just kept going through to new year to see how far I would go. Ended up at 11st 8lbs.

    So then going into maintenance I decided to focus on fitness and signed up for a Spartan race in September.

    Now my goal is to be in good enough shape I can have a real go at completing the race well.

    Also, having spent months reading on here, seeing all the successes etc I do have a bit of vanity kicking in. I want to look good as well, so Im hoping the prep for the Spartan Race can serve two purposes!

    To get back to the weight I was when I went to uni, I felt pretty good then.

    Also to fit comfortably in my old clothes, they're too good to waste!

    To stand next to my husband and not look huge (he's got that crazy skinny gene where he just doesn't gain weight easily)

    To go to the beach and feel confident in a swimsuit. No more cover up!

    This one is petty, but to be able to tell my obese sister in law that all the clothes she likes to send me are too big. She sends me clothes that are always two sizes too small. She KNOWS what size I wear! And seeing as she's in a size 22, I can't believe that she just recently outgrew those size 12 jeans. I don't know if it's intentionally malicious or not, but jokes on her. I'm now able to button and zip them

    To feel comfortable enough with my looks that I can wear a bikini and not feel the need to cover up half my body instead ;)

    12-15% body fat long-term.

    Maybe enough hypertrophy for people to notice something other than my height again.

    I don't mean y our weight loss goal,
    I mean a goal you hope to achieve while on your journey.

    I would love to be able to walk up a flight of stairs without having to catch my breath.
    I would also like to fit in an amusement park ride.

    My current goal: to continue being a part of the very small percentage of people who successfully maintain long term. Two years down, around 50 more years to go :)

    To never worry if I'll need a seat belt extender on an airplane ever again.

    If it didn't fit I would just leave mine off :(.

    I have never been able to do a pull up, this is my goal.

    I want to learn the secret to complete and lasting happiness. Then I want to share it with you.

    Not for the insane price of 99.99, not for 89.99, not even for the rock bottom price of 59.99. No today I want to give you the secret to lasting and complete happiness for fifteen low, low monthly payments of just 9.99

    I really just want to be capable of doing anything I want.

    Now that I've "fallen off the wagon" and am trying again - my new goal is to be comfortable in my own skin, to feel like i look good enough for my boyfriend (even though he says time and time again he loves me the way i am), and to not go into a room and look for someone fatter than myself before i feel comfortable

    I started this for looks only. Now, though, I really want to be able to do a pull up.
