What are your goals past ‘lose x amount of pounds?’
I set a goal to hike the incline in Manitou Springs, Colorado next February in under 90 minutes. It’s a 2000 foot elevation gain in under a mile.
First time I did it was 18 pounds lighter than I am now and it took about 2 hours. Second time I was heavier and out of shape and it took 3 1/2 hours.
I like having something to train towards.

I had lost close to 100 lbs. at the beginning of the year. I was losing the weight for a nephew's wedding. I made his "Cookie Table" and it was downhill after that. I am up 40 lbs. now. and feel miserable. My ankles and knees ache. I remember how good I felt, and my goal is to feel about at a lighter weight.0

I’d like to get to about 19.5 BMI, and consistently cut back my alcohol consumption (working out somehow helps my anxiety, which I tend to self medicate w wine). I’d also like to be able to do some pole tricks at work, and have more energy. I’ve lost about four lbs. (I’m sure some was bloat), and feeling way more energetic and happy.0

I just wanted to feel good in this body. It's the only one I have and I want to learn to appreciate it more and what it is capable of doing. That's pretty simple, right?1

Right now mine are more aesthetic based (trying to put on more muscle, look better), but I also have strength/fitness goals as well... improve my hip thrust and deadlift, be able to do more chin-ups and pull-ups, work on my single-leg squats, get better at yoga, maybe try pole.

I have a spare tire I'd love to get a lot smaller. It really bothers me now because it's not getting smaller as fast as other body parts so to me it seems more pronounced. I'm also working on strengthening areas of my body where I have cronic pain.0

To maintain my weight once I’ve reached my goal weight. I must have lost and regained this weight four or five times and my final goal is to make this the last time!0
