    In the "Make no little plans" arena, I want to run a marathon in March 2015. I am planning to run the San Francisco Half Marathon in February. I'm on week 4 of a C25K. I have an ongoing goal of exercising for 45-60 minutes at least 5 days a week, including 3x/week swimming. Knock on wood, I'm on track.

    Honestly, I'd love to lose weight, but I'm more focused on my athletic goals. For whatever reason (diet, PCOS, age), I'm losing weight very slowly. I really don't want to feel really deprived diet wise; I feel like that's not sustainable.

    Mine are more related to what I want to be able to do. Yes, I'd like to get to 145 pounds, BUT I want to be able to ride on amusement park rides, and walk around with my kids, and have my weight or my back hurting or my joints hurting keep me from being able to do that.

    In June, we went to Disney, and I was able to do that. We've reset that for 3 years to go back. When we take that trip, I want to be able to wear a bathing suit and go swimming with my kids. I also want to be able to buy normal sized clothes and not HAVE to buy them from a plus-sized place.

    So far I've eached a buch of nonscale related goals. I've hiked in the grand canyon. I fit in an airplane seat and do not need the seat belt extender. I've run a half marathon. The big one I want to do is somewhat scale-related. I want to go ziplining. Most places have a 250 pound limit. I still need to lose to get to that. The other is pure vanity and will probably never happen again but I'd like to look good enough that an unknown female buys me a drink at a bar.

    Maybe TMI, but.... One of my main goals is to have a regular cycle! I have PCOS and when I was at my heaviest went without a period for 10 months. What?! I'm only 29 years old, I want to have kids in the not too distant future! As the weight is coming off the cycles are becoming more regular. Now whenever I start to feel crampy, bloated and moody, after a few curse words I whisper a silent "hallelujah!" :bigsmile:

    I would love to run a marathon officially one day. I actually did run 26.3 miles once already, but never competed in a race before. It will be the first thing I do once I get back to the States.

    I think when I get older and my life has settled down more (as opposed to being a student), my ultimate goal would be to participate in an Ironman triathlon. It's a farfetched dream trying to complete a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bycicle ride, follow by a full marathon, but a gal can dream, right :)?
