I want to lose 30 lbs by the end of the year. Ultimate goal is to get to 180, then I want to get down to 140 but taking small steps. I think I finally got a good workout regime down and have hubby's support to eat clean.
I want to be at a weight that my husband has never seen me. Smallest I was ever is 180, so once I get there it will be the home stretch!0 -

It's really interesting about goals and whether people should talk about them. There is an excellent TED talk in which the speaker discusses how you should NOT talk about your goals. People who talk about them are actually less likely to achieve them than those who keep their goals to themselves. It has something to do with talking about achieving goals makes people feel like they have already accomplished something and then they are deluded. I'll have to find the link, but it was a very interesting talk.
I love TED talks. If you've never been to the site, check it out. TEDtalks.com
Sherry, actually that's very interesting. My husband and I go to a marriage counselor--not because there's anything wrong with our marriage but because we're young and we want to do things right from the start...go when there isn't a serious problem to learn how to deal with serious problems with they happen!-- and he says exactly the opposite. When we have a goal we want to accomplish we are supposed to write it down and post it where the whole household can see it. We write them on a mirror. And we recite them to each other every day. Our counselor says that if you do this for 30 days, it will become so engrained in your mind that you won't fail because it becomes your mind's reality. It's very interesting. I actually have had it work for me. For example. I wanted to get to below 150 lbs. So I wrote it on the mirror and told myself every day that this month I would get below 160 lbs. And then even when i was getting stressed and wanted to reach for a sugary snack to calm my stress down, something in my mind would trigger and I would stop and grab water instead. It wasn't a conscious thing. I am well on my way to achieving 150 lbs. This next 30 days, which starts tomorrow, I will be focusing on getting myself to exercise. I will write "exercise 30 minutes per day on the mirror" and then tell my husband every day that it's my goal. By the counselor's method, at the end of 30 days of this recitation I will just start doing it like it's a natural thing to do. In fact, about a week ago I started setting the alarm back an hour to start prepping myself for this and already I'm remembering that there's a reason I need to get up that early...so we'll see if by 30 days I start doing the exercise thing. It's pretty amazing. I love knowing that just by being open about things I can change myself for the better.
I also don't like hiding my goals because I think it creates more accountability. The people in my life will ask me if I'm staying on target. They will encourage me. They will tell me to "get back to it" if I'm failing. They'll be there for me when I need a helping hand to get back on track. I used to keep my goals a secret but I don't anymore.0 -

I agree with this 100%. Get it out there! Let it be known! Let others root you on and keep you accountable! Get it stuck in your head that this is what you want to do! I would never want to hide my goals. I'm too much of an open carefree person.0 -

Lose the last 15lbs so I can weigh 120 by November 1st. Then my next goal will be to do a pull-up.0

A year ago I could hike nine miles at a steep incline. Now I can barely hike a couple of miles, and I have joint problems - I am only 25! Having a stressful job, then being unemployed, and then being stressed out about being able to pay rent during the past year caused me to gain 20 pounds.
Now that I have a job I love, and have my very first apartment I am much happier. I have slowly been tackling one goal at a time. I want to move on to my next goal of being able to do the things I love, to do strenuous hikes climbing mountain peaks. (And be confident wearing a bathing suit as well.)
At 152 lbs and only 5'2, I want to loose 30 pounds in a year. Hopefully 20 by my next birthday!0 -
Once again, ALL wonderful goals!! Stick with em'
