    To not see fat rolls from my bra.

    That's me! I hate my rolls and can't wait to get rid of them.
    Also:
    1. To do 10 pull-up with no assistance
    2. To leg press 500
    3. To run a mile in under 15 minutes.
    4. To wear a 2-piece bikini/backless dress confidently

    My goals aren't really that unusual either, but I'll share them anyway:
    -be able to fit into clothes that people in my age group wear (instead of shopping in the women's department)
    -be comfortable with myself
    -not have to worry about sitting arrangements (theatre, backseats of cars, etc.)
    -stop feeling like everyone is judging me based on my weight.

    3:knees to no longer ache
    4: to be able to run 5 k without stopping
    5: to love an exercise that I want to do every day.
    6: To look in the mirror and SEE a positive thing every day (DONE)

    Most of mine aren't numbers related, I find that I get to discouraged when I focus on numbers. I don't even have a scale anymore because it just stressed me out.

    -Be able to wear a bikini- I keep my computer desktop pictures of ones that I like to try and motivate me
    -Be comfortable enough in my body to get the side tattoo that I want.
    -Be able to comfortably wear heals again
    -Be able to run a 5k - I currently do an 8k walk but I could never run more than .5k

    OP...good job. I actually think those types of goals end up being much more beneficial than some arbitrary number. Often the reason people fail is that they obsess about a number...rather than obsessing about achieving health goals, fitness goals, and being able to do certain things goals. One thing that's helped me immensely is focusing in specifically on nutrition goals and fitness goals....my weight loss is just an awesome bi-product of achieving my nutrition and fitness goals. I've never had a goal of being XX Lbs...it's dumb, especially when you consider that most people look better at somewhat of a higher weight than they're shooting for with some muscle...instead, people obsess about that arbitrary number and lose a lot of muscle in the process of their dieting.

    I guess my nonweight/nonexercise goal is to look like I could be on the cover of King Magazine...

    I have a mix of scale and non-scale goals. My scale one isn't very set in stone, once I hit the onderland milestone. Or a bit lower the scale can be mostly retired:

    Row a 10k in 60 minutes
    walk a 5k in 45 minutes
    Hit onderland
    Do 10 full pushups
    Plank for 3 minutes
    walk 5mph for 30 min
    Row 5k at 2:30/500m
    Row 1k in 4 minutes
    Do a pull up
    Run 5k
    Deadlift my body weight for 5-8 reps
    Hit "goal" weight of 165ish or goal measurements are apx: 38-27-39 (my goal weight is solidly in the overweight BMI, but is basically where I was around age 14 or so.)
    Hit 22-24% body fat
    Do 100 full pushups
    Get a retro bikini (this is a little bit harder than the other goals. They don't seem to have one in my size. Bra size that is. I need a bra sized bikini. And all of the ones I have seen are dress sized. Maybe by the time I reach near goal, someone will come out with one. :) )

    I guess that is about it.

    I hear you! About the seating arrangements. I'd like to be able to ride roller coasters, too. I'd also like to walk into the non-plus sized section and wear something trendy for a change.

    I want to be able to do a full push up. Just one. I keep working my arms and shoulders, but can't quite seem to get there. Maybe this morning will be the day.
    Yes That's another goal for me too. I can manage sort of half a full push up..
