    My goals shifted over time (3.5 years now) and are not all scale related and
    1. fitting back into my clothes so they look as they were intended
    2. seeing if I could fit back into my favourite sort that did not fit anymore and after goal 1 was somewhat very snug (has a small waist)
    3. logging for 2 years
    4. achieving a healthy BMI
    5. getting comfortable into a healthy BMI, going gym to increase weights training
    6. Logging 3 years
    7. (current) hitting 22.5 in my BMI and running 5km
    8. logging 4 years

    I achieved half of my seventh goal, not achieved the running yet. Planned for one of the coming weeks before I go on a holiday :wink:

    Seems so far my best options are log everything no matter how small it may seem (it makes big impacts along the line) be realistic in my goals and do interval exercises like walking/jogging xx

    What is everyone's goals if you don't mind me asking

    Sounds good to me!

    Mine are to lose the last 5lbs and PB my next half marathon in september


    I'm sure you'll manage that last five with patience and keeping up all the hard work you have put in what was your PB last time may I ask?

    Youre right about patience... i need more of it!

    My last half was in May, i ran it in 02:17:35 which was a PB by 6 minutes.

    I was pushing pretty close to 19 stone when I started out in December, I am just under 16 stone now, I am aiming to get to around 13 stone by the end of this year. Weight loss isn't easy but it is simple, I have lost mine by setting myself to a 1lb per week loss, logging my food accurately, increasing my activity levels and monitoring my results to make sure I am on the right track. With 3 years until your wedding you have absolutely enough time to get yourself into shape.
