    My non-scale goal is to continue fitting into my "7 For All Mankind" $200 dollar jeans. With NO muffin top. I love those jeans and I look good in them!

    Built some muscle, as I'm currently looking rather scrawny. I'm working towards a bulk this fall/winter.

    Squat 1x BW, SLDL 1.5x BW. I'm currently at 0.56 and 0.93 x BW for these exercises, so I'm almost at my 1x BW goal for SLDL.

    Great topic - and some great replies!


    To be healthy, fit, and strong for myself and for my family. Not one but about a million NSGs, but ultimately about way more than the scale, so I'm going with it.

    To be pain-free (or at least in less pain). I am sort of oldish. lol

    To have a progressive exercise program including both cardio and lifting.

    To be comfortable in my body again, in any chair or booth again, in my jeans again, in my life again...

    To have fewer clothes in my closet, but to love the ones that are left.

    I have a few:

    1) Reduce my blood pressure back to a normal range! So far its dropping! :)
    2) To complete a 5K without having to stop and walk.
    3) To be able to cross my legs comfortably, at this point I have to practically hold my leg to keep it there!
    4) To have my kids see me get healthy and want to join (so far they have done this as they are joining me in the couch to 5K program, week 2 this week and so far they have said only good things about wanting to continue).
    5) Be able to shop with my soon-to-be-stepdaughter in NON-PLUS SIZE shops/sections!
    6) I'd love to be able to wear a size 12 or even 10. I haven't been below that since college, so I don't know if I could or not now that I'm almost 40, lol, but that's what I'd LIKE.
    7) To comfortably wear jeans that DO NOT have stretch in them or elastic waists to be COMFORTABLE.
    8) I love fashion, but can't wear most of the stuff because of my belly making me look pregnant when I'm not, so to be able to wear the stuff I like.
    9) Be able to wear a dress without wearing spanx crap underneath. ;)
    10) To see my collarbones again, I haven't seen them since 1996! lol

    Told you I have a few! lol

    -To be able to do a chin up
    -to finish c25k
    -to be able to lift my son into bed, currently I have to sit on the end of the bed, lie down and roll him off me.
    -to be toned fit and beautiful
    -this one is a bit silly, but I would love just once for my husband to come to ME to get a jar opened, not the other way around.

    What's your non- weight goal? Meaning- forget the number on the scale? Is it a dress? Pants size? 6 pack abs?

    Mine was to fit into a pair of jeans that I did get into this morning! Now, I'm after the 6 pack abs! :)

    Wooooooohooooooo!!!! Doesn't it feel great?!?!
    BTW, I love the quick roll over... Goal 1: Met Goal 2: Set! Sounds just like me.

    My non-scale goal is to reach 20% body fat.
    And perhaps I'm just dreaming here, but I'd like to do so AND maintain what little curves I have :blushing:

    I already got into jeans one size smaller than my goal, and they look great. I don't think I want to go down another size. My main goals have to do with badassery:

    Qualify to be intermediate in Krav maga when qualifiers come back around
    GOAL bench press (1x5): 150
    GOAL squat (1x5): 225
    GOAL deadlift (1x5): 300
    GOAL OHP (1x5): 110
    GOAL barbell row (1x5): 110
    GOAL pullups: 10
    GOAL 5k: 25 minutes
    GOAL Body fat %: 20ish

    First I want to fit into the jeans I got 2 years ago. I rocked those jeans!
    I'd like to look better for pictures.
    Lose the rolls round the middle.
    Finish C25K - I got all the way and stopped when I had TWO days to go. Ugh.

    To all the unassisted pullup folks, I would HIGHLY recommend this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRznU6pzez0

    I have used it, as has my wife.

    --
    My goal is to maintain, and get to know my appetite/habits well enough that I can not track and stay at same weight. I should probably put a time limit on it, let's start with 2 weeks. Superceding goal is to maintain, however, particularly over the next year with my first child on the way.

    Another goal, a bit of a fuzzy one, is to have lots of energy and feel I can be very active.

    Another goal, is to become a 4.0 tennis player, although my sub goal is to first beat a 4.0 tennis player, once!

    Another goal is to do 8 pullups, for 3 sets.
