I know we have not started the challenge yet...but I'm trying to think of some long range goals to set for myself. Here's what I'm thinking...I've been working hard since April 2010 on living a new life style...some days are better than others! My goal is to work the next 6 months to get some form of 6 pack abs. I'm 42, so far my abs are still hiding ! Anyways, my goal / personal challenge will be to post shirtless pics on June 1...now that I've stated this to my friends here on the group, I guess I will have to get busy !!!

What is your goal for June 1 ?

    I'd like to drop the last 10 pounds. I'm training for my second half marathon (in May) and hopefully will do a third in October. I'd like to run a 11 minute mile by June 1--my current "easy" pace is typically 11:30/12:00. I'd like to start doing strength training at least 2x a week and lower my bodyfat percentage.

    I have a lot of fitness goals, but mostly for the whole year--not sure how far I'll get by June.

    My goal is to loose a little less tha 100 pounds by the end of the year. I'd like to see 50 of those gone by June 1. I'm not sure what other realistic goals work with this one.

    My goal for June 1 would be to lose another 25#..and see where I am at that time. Not sure what that will look like. I want to have particiapted in a 5K (which I have to walk because running is not allowed on this artificial hip that I have. ) I want to be more active, more energy, and to move into a strength program that is safe for my hip! Focus is the name of the game!

    My goal would be to run 10-11 minute miles.

    I started C25K as a total running novice in October and I'm currently on week 8.

    At the moment I can run 2 miles in 25m16s (treadmill only so far, I've not been brave enough to venture outside yet!).

    I plan to start Bridge to 10K part way through January.

    Weight wise, I would like to see another 20lb gone by then - I'm going for a slow loss as I won't stick to it if I try to do it any faster (I have a long history of abandoned diets!).

    By June I want to have competed in a Sprint Triathlon. I also want my abs, I'm hoping they will show up sooner than that as I should only have another 20lbs to go or so according to my BF%.

    Not sure, but now that you posted it...I probably ought to have 3 month goals....

    March 1 - 20lbs down...
    June 1 - another 10lbs and running a full 5k (haven't ever done my time...but will update it with something realistic)
    Sept 1 - maintenance and posting a pic of me in a bathing suit...SCARY, but I will do it (before and afters)
    Dec 1 - just focused on maintenance and burning those cals!!!!

    I'm going to try for 900 cals burned per day at least 300 days this year!!!! At least 25 days per month!!!!

    I like the concept of the 3 month interval goals but right now I am focused on today, this week, this month, with "long-term" goals only six months out. After I complete my first marathon, I will decide if I want to run a 2nd and 3rd or if I will want to try to tackle another obstacle. :wink:

    By March 1st: To be at my goal weight of 125 or 18% body fat.
    By June 1st: Complete my first Marathon (actually scheduled for April 1st) and be at the half-way mark of burning 125,000 calories.

    My goal is to be down 20 pounds by June. I'm the same way, if I try to "shock" myself, and not go somewhat slowly, I will end up giving up. Also, I want to find more activities that I enjoy doing, and so don't feel like a workout. One thing I LOVE is line dancing, and it actually burns quite a bit of calories!
