    My goal is to run 3 miles a week. That's incredibly realistic and reachable--and reaching that goal will give me incentive to go above and beyond ^_^ Hopefully doing much more but atleast 3 miles a week.

    By the end of Feb, drop a jeans size.
    By the end of May, comfortably wear size L BDUs.
    By haunt season, reduce waist by 5 inches.


    Oh! Almost forgot: bench press half my body weight for 3 sets of 10.

    I'm hoping to drop 25-30 pounds by May 2014. Hoping to lose around 1+1/4 pound a week every week until may ( I know it probably won't be as smooth as that) and also to just keep calorie counting and working out.

    My goals for 2014 are to maintain my weight & focus more on strength training.

    I'm at my goal weight but lost it all through pure diet. My goal now is working on my fitness, in terms of specifics I want to complete c25k and be able to run a mile without stopping. At the moment I can run about 0.4 miles before I have to walk.

    I lost a fair bit of weight over the last couple of years but then put back on about 25 under stress. I have taken 10 of that back off so my goal is to get rid of the last 15 and then keep a better eye on it so I'm not trying to lose more than 5 pounds again.

    Fitness wise I'm going to work more on my arms and abs. My legs are pretty strong already (I like hiking) so it would "even me out" to work on the top more.

    Right now I'm at 181 pounds, and my goal is to be at 150 by the beginning of June. I've never been that small as an adult so have no idea what I'll look like or how I'll feel or how much more I'll want to lose, so I figured I would give myself a short term realistic goal and then reassess!

    Starting T25 on Monday, so finishing that is another huge goal, I'm also giving up drinking for the ten weeks I'm doing the program.

    2014 is the year I run a 5K in less than 20 minutes! This IS the year. Good luck to everyone and their goals :)

    I just started back so my first goal is to track for one week (that's right, one!) and hit my exercise goal. I need to change some habits, so I'm going to make little goals for a few weeks. Then I'll reassess.

    For 2014:
    I want to get to 10,000 steps a day for 5 days a week (to be labeled "active"), that would be just over 1,000 miles, but nothing like the 2,220 I saw below. wow.
    I want to drop 39lbs (from 259lbs) in 6 to 8 months
    I want to limit my intake to 1,800cals a day.
    I want to find something other than walking as my exercise, (basketball is out at 58) ;)

    I should be able to lose 1.5lbs a week and reach 39lbs in 6 months, but I'm giving myself some additional time since I hit so many platues on the way down.

    I started in November and I have lost 9lbs, so I think this is reasonable.

    Lose these last 10 pounds and get back into an exercise routine. I also would like to go down one more size. I am in some size 6 clothes now and in all size 8 clothes. I would love to be in a size 6 at all places.

    I'd like to swim a mile in an hour, doing all backstroke. I need to pick it up by 3 laps per 15 minutes to get there. Also, keep on doing what I've been doing to lose weight.............it seems to be working.

    I'd like to average 1lb a week loss (I'm expecting a higher average the first few months, tapering as I get nearer target). I have already signed up for two 10k races and a half marathon. I've run 10k in training but slowly and the furthest I've run to date is 7.8miles so half marathon is going to need some serious training but is achievable as long as I stay focused on my diet & exercise.

    My REALISTIC goals:
    1. Finally, finally, FINALLY hit the 120s -- I haven't been there since high school. I'm about 10 lbs away, 15 lbs from where I want to be. The last few pounds are the hardest, especially with that "well, I've gotten this far, I can postpone it a little longer..."
    2. A few fitness goals. 25 pushups (not knee pushups). 1 pull-up, unassisted. Maybe 2. Run a 5k in under 30 minutes.
    3. Finish school in May, start my job in June.

    This is where I started at so far as "diameter". I'm the one in the white shirt. This picture let me know the time had come for a diet! I didn't have a lot of pictures of myself so this is about all I could find as a refference.

    My 2014 goal is to become a lean, mean, senior machine again!

    lose at least another 8 pounds and start to see muscle definition on my stomach. I also plan on working out at least 4 times a week consistently.

    Edit: I also wanna be able to do push ups without dying lol

    My goals are to lose 20lbs by summer, and. 40lbs by next winter.

    I want to go back to the gym p, even to just walk on the treadmill - I've been off for 8 months for medical reasons

    I want to keep myself off meds (really awful, major side effect meds) for the year if possible. Not totally something I can control, but diet and exercise can go a long way.

    And I want to try out kick boxing, but right now that seems a bit unrealistic.

    My goal is to finally hit my goal weight. I have about 30 - 35lbs to go. I started my journey in Feb 2012 and am down around 60-65lbs. If I am not seeing weight come off I at least want to see my inches going down. I have noticed that inches are changing faster than the scale the last few months. Good luck to everyone!

    Scale goal: 150 by March. Then maintain there w/in 3 lbs. Currently I am at 160.

    Fitness: add a second zumba class weekly

    Fun fitness: hike twice monthly and six times on the Appalachian Trail. (Once overnight with my hubby.) That is not as hard as it sounds because there are at least two places to get on the trail near my house. It is more taking the time to schedule it.

    Life: visit my daddy more - he is 80. Time's a-wastin'. Beach vacation with my hubby and kids. Spend a weekend in Asheville with my punk kid sis, just because and just us.

    I have a few goals:
    - get to my goal weight (preferably by May)
    - run another marathon and beat my first time
    - run another half and break 2 hours (I was at 2:02 last time- so close!)
    - get into a regular weight lifting routine- I hate it so much so this will be a hard one for me
    - do 5 'real' push ups, not girly ones

    Thanks for posting- it's nice to get some of these written out!
