What is something you want to accomplish along or at the end of your journey other than the # on the scale? Example: I want to feel comfortable in a medium shirt again. Maybe even fit my *kitten* into a size 8 jeans...
45 lbs to go for me!

I want to be able to run again properly, get back in to my size 12 jeans and wear a medium top!
Just need to keep motivated!3 -
I wanted to get my liver enzymes back in the normal range and losing 43 lbs did it! I also wanted to be active again and feel comfortable wearing a bikini and I can say that after losing the excess weight I feel completely confident wearing bikinis! I've been in maintenance for almost 4 years now8

Congratulations!
Thanks! It wasn't easy but it was so worth it. If I can do it, surely anyone can. Good luck!1 -
One of my thoughts before this journey that I would like to fit in (Dutch) size 38 again. Currently I am 34/36 Just entered maintenance.2

I want my current two tightest pairs of jeans to be a little looser. After that, my last two pairs of Goal Jeans (different pairs this time- I have a lot of jeans!), including a pair I bought after Christmas as a challenge for the new year, are now a little loose, and I'm now daydreaming about the next size down.2

I want to be able to keep up with my kids more and to not get out of breath and have my heart racing after walking to my basement and back up the stairs doing laundry. I get worn out fast. I'm almost 49 and need to do this. And to think I'm only 40-50 lbs overweight right now! I feel bad that I even get out of breath so easily but I do.2

Ideally, I'd like to fit into a size 12 and be fit enough to try a VBAC if I can summon up the courage for TTC.2

This takes more than weightloss, it is hard to start loving yourself. You are worth so much- including your own unconditional love. Judging your body and yourself so harshly in a time it needs the most love and nurturing. If you treated a child like you treat yourself, it would probably grow up to have quite a few issues. Start laying the ground work for body positivity, and you will (very slowly) see a difference on the outside xx4 -

Thank you1 -
I want to be able to do a muscle-up on rings, and a handstand, and a backflip, and to vault over a low wall, but most of all I want to be able to do a quad jump on ice3

I want to be able to do an obstacle course race2
-
I want to be able to run a half marathon. Oh and get into those clothes collecting dust in the corner of my closet2
-
I do this every year. This year's challenge is to complete a 1.2 mile open water swim, last year was to swim a mile in a pool without stopping.
The open water part of the swim scares me...it's in a little over 3 weeks2 -

Same here! I'm signed up for the Tough Mudder in VA next June and i'm working slowly towards that. First thing is the C25K and then I'll be hitting the weights at the gym.
I have a lot of small goals - some are weight related but I have a lot of NSV to help push me along as well. I started writing them out last night and have listed some rewards (non-food related which is tough yo!)
Today is 28 days of logging though so I'm feeling pretty good!2 -
Amanda - we have the same goal. just met the size 8 - my biggest achievement would be to get these "sauce arms" skinny and in shape as well as lose 30 more pounds. Feeling great that I lost 16 so far!1
-
I want to deadlift 375 lbs (specifically this Saturday at my competition )
I want to do a muscle-up, too.4 -
My goal is to fit into my old dress parts and be able to wear a medium shirt again.2
-
I want to feel good again. I don't have a number in mind - the scale doesn't matter. But I hate feeling fluffy.2
