Like the title says, what are your personal non-scale related goals?

Mine are to get to around 18% body fat and to be able to finally wear a crop top and feel comfortable in it. :)

    I want to hike the 100 mile wilderness, complete a Tuff Mudder, complete a half marathon, and to get to a point where I feel comfortable in clothes that fit.

    What a good thread question :)

    - To fit into clothes from Jack Wills and Roxy Sport
    - To be flexible enough to exceed in Barre classes
    - To work towards a good 5k time (sub 30 mins for me), and become a regular ParkRunner

    Thanks for this thread. Today was weigh in day and after a week of exercise and eating, I thought the numbers would go down significantly and they didn't this week:( It reminded me that i do have other goals beside weight:

    1. Ditch the HBP medication
    2. Decrease the risk of dealing with Diabetes, (my Dad was diabetic)
    2. A size 34 waist
    3. A flat stomach

    This question puts things into perspective!

    1. To be able to shop in the Misses section at a store...not the plus size section.
    2. To be able to properly ride and enjoy the rides at an amusement park.
    3. To be able to run a mile without stopping because I can't breathe.
    4. Participate in a 5K.
    5. Have more confidence.

    1. Run a 5 km in under 20 minutes.
    2. Do a split (Dunno why, the idea suddenly popped into my head and now I'm doing 5 yoga poses a day that are supposed to get me doing a split)
    3. Another flexibility one : be able to comfortably sit in full lotus for meditation.
    4. A bit vain but : post my before/after pics once I am done and I hope people compliment me, lol!

    1. 15% BF or Lower
    2. Sub 20 5km race
    3. Sub 42 10km
    4. Sub 1:38 HM
    5. Sub 3:45 Marathon

    Goals have to have timeframes in my opinion so:

    1. Before November (Currently 21%)
    2. Before November (Currently 22:30 but PB = 20:07)
    3. Before November (Currently around 45:00 but PB 42:37)
    4. Before September (Currently around 1:45:00 (PB 1:38:15)
    5. In November I have a marathon booked - (Previous one was 4 years ago and 4:34:27 so If I can smash that I'll be happy)

    Rigbt now? Goal is make it to the gym this morning but this bed and blanket is comfy though

    scientific fact: beds and blankets make you fat. (Trump, 2017) this has a disastrous and spiralling effect on the lazy, the sick and those with comfy beds.

    To fit in a pair of jeans which are at least a size too small, and to tone up and drop my Body Fat % from 29.6 to the low twenties.

    I am half tempted to start the C25K challenge too as my cardio levels are rubbish.

    Hard to say, currently I only run 10 minutes at the end of my workout. Yesterday I ran a bit longer and did 2 km @ 10.5 km/h. My plan is to keep running 2 km at the end of workouts and increasing speed by .5 km/h increments when I get more comfortable. Once I hit 12 km/h, I'll start increasing distance. From there I will figure it out, but I'll be alternating increasing speed a bit then distance a bit until I hit 15 km/h speed and 5 km distance. This is at the end of my workouts so I might be able to run a 20 minute 5km before that.

    My current short-term goal is to complete my old after-work road bike loop.

    I used to be a fairly serious cyclist, and I'm just getting back into it after a 2 1/2 year layoff. The loop measures 23.6 miles, and I used to finish in 1:10 to 1:15. I almost can't believe I used to consider that my short ride. I've currently built my endurance back up to 45 mins. I'm also not nearly as fast as I used to be, I'd have to plan for 1:25 to 1:30 at my current pace.
