    I want to do a half marathon but more importantly a marathon, it's on my bucket list.
    I also want to go skiing on holiday.

    Working on both, running 3x a week and doing skiing lessons...

    Just started a week ago. My first one would be to be able to put my wedding rings back on.

    Mine was to be able to knock out 20 dead hang pull ups which I had not completed in 22 years since leaving the Marine Corp. After 2 years of weight loss, I worked on this for 6 months while maintaining weight.
    And one fine day - DONE!
    - Today, I knock them out like nothing. Godspeed to you all reaching your goals! :)

    Be able to powerlift!

    Have actual, visible arm muscles (I had the beginnings of them last winter, but then I forgot to go to the gym for a few weeks and it all became fat).

    Know that I have the physical strength to become a female electrician if I want to.

    My weight is not holding me back from doing these things, but I do need to get in shape.

    Do an Olympic Length Triathlon
    Mine is scheduled for July 15 next year
    I have been training since June 1 this year, started at 255 lbs and am now 225. If I had to do it today I think my time would come in about 6 hours. By then I hope to cut my time down to 4 hours.

    In order of do-ability:
    1. Buy clothes in a normal plus size department of a regular store, like JCPenney, Target, etc. VERY close!
    2. Go horseback riding with my daughter. A ranch we go camping at has trail rides but I have been 100 lbs over the weight limit. 70-some lbs to go and I am there.
    3. Ride the swings at the fair, weight limit 230.
    4. Hike the Wonderland Trail. Approx 100 mile trail around Mt. Rainier which takes around 10-12 days to complete. Extremely challenging elevation gains/losses and really tough to do unless you are in top physical condition. Planning to do the year I turn 40, 2.5 years.
    5. Hike the PCT, a 2600 mile trail from Mexico to Canada. A very long term goal, 10 years+ away. Planning to do the year my youngest child graduates.

    Those are awesome! I want to do the Triple Crown of Hiking (AT, PCT & CDT) to be completed on my 50th Birthday. The AT North hike traditionally closes at Mt. Katahdin on 15 OCT each year, which just so happens to be my birthday!

    Someone to find me attractive.
    To be able to wear the clothes I really like.
    To be able to be proud of my body.
    To go to the beach with my friends next summer and not get an anxiety attack because of my body.

    Dear! Where do I begin?!

    Then, I'd like to rock a Bodycon Dress. Especially a Hervé Leger one. (Yep, I know the price...)

    [...]

    Calves that would fit into any boots

    And A LOT of fitness goals!!!

    A girl after my own heart... I know exactly how you feel about the clothes and the boots. I've lost about an inch off my calves so I'm closer.


    And for the sake of being on-topic, my goals are:
    • single digit clothes sizes (almost there, my size 8s don't look so daunting anymore, which is great considering I started out teetering on the edge of 16s)
    • healthy BMI (finally got out of Obese I, time to get out of Overweight too)
    • get some muscles up in here! I wanna be tiny and powerful tumblr_ms326wNnxg1qdjo2ho1_1280.jpg (If I had a body half a great as hers I'd consider my goal met)
    • be small enough that a fella could lift me (I'm so short) without breaking his back

    • Fit into my old clothes (size 6 or less)
    • Be able to do a back handspring again (former gymnast)
    • Be able to do pull-ups again (possibly even one arm pull-ups)
    • Run a 5k
    • Get my nice shelf of a booty back

    I'm quite new to this but my goals are:

    For my partner to notice something has changed when he sees me in 2 months
    To be able to go shopping and want to buy something because I feel like I look good in it in the mirror

    Mine are all silly little things that I've always been slightly jealous of other (much slimmer) people being able to do.
    1. Be able to be lifted up (without fear i'm going to literally cripple him) by my partner for no other reason other than it's something I've always been too self conscious to let anyone ever do
    2. Be able to go in to any shop and find a bra that actually fits me and is a 'normal' or 'average' size around my back
    3. Not feeling really hot and gross ALL summer because i'm too self conscious of my arms to ever (ever) dare take my cardigan off, even at home which sounds ridiculous i know, but it's something i can't wait to not care about

    there are a fair few more but they're the ones that I am most looking forward to

    be able to do a sub 30 5k.
    Be able to do a handstand again, not because handstands matter but because my arms will be strong enough and my weight low enough
    be able to wear the clothes I want to, not the ones that hide my lumps and bumps

    You are not alone there. Last time I had a guy lift me, I know for a fact he weighed less than me and I made him put me down immediately because I was so scared I'd hurt him.

    1. Be able to confidently wear a bikini on my honeymoon in April
    2. To not feel like "the fat one" when I'm with my girlfriends
    3. To fit into standard bra sizes! (I already have big boobs and when I gain too much weight they go above a DD which makes bra shopping a pain in the *kitten*!)
