HI guys, I'm no stranger to weight loss or even this site, but since I have gotten the android phone I'm going to start tracking on here and hope to make some friends that are in the same situation. My goal for 2011 was to lose weight, lost 52 lbs, my goal for 2012 is to become an athlete, I want to run marathons, climb mountains, you name it, I'm going to do it!!! What's your story???

    I'm 60 pounds down... still hoping to lose another 15 - 20...... but now I'm in a healthier range so I'm happy with that. I had to lose weight to be healthier....... my goal for 2012 is to enjoy the feeling of pushing my body and testing it's limits now that I am physically able to. I plan to run my first half marathon on May 5 - and I think now I am going to focus less on the number on the scale and more on the things that I can do with my body - where it can take me now..... the rest (weight loss) I think will take care of itself.

    Great goals...

    Well done!!! My goal for 2011 was to lose weight and get back to competing horses. I did both. My goal for 2012 is to get to my ideal weight, and to be an athlete (like you). It is actually exciting and a little intimidating to consider that I can actually do this!

    I would like to be taken seriously as an athlete (instead of people thinking, "the horse is doing all the work") and I'd also like to get back into rock climbing, which I absolutely love. I haven't fit properly into my harness for 2 years.

    wow, so wonderful to hear your stories, it felt like I wrote them myself. We can do this :) I signed up for a obstacle course marathon June 3rd, and a 5k in October, and I'm climbing the same mountain I did last year, but want to do it in 6 hours instead of 7 this time!!!

    2011 ended and when I did I asked myself what do I have to show for it. The answer was a whole lot of nothing.

    2012 started and I asked myself what I will have to show for myself at the end of it. The answer was passing my first year of Law, losing weight in order to go on the IVF waiting list and hopefully, not having to have IVF. I can't control the last but I can control the first.

    Good luck everyone. x
