Reading an article recently and one of the motivation tips was setting small goals other than a number on the scale. What are some of your goals that you set for yourself to keep you motivated??

I want to look great in a wedding dress for my big day in August and in a bikini for the honeymoon.:happy:0

I want to feel healthier, succesfully eat cleaner, have to buy new clothes0

Though I weigh myself here and there, most of my goals are fitness-related:
--to become a proficient swimmer because I live on an island and have not gone swimming or even to the beach in about four years.
--to be able to perform unassisted pullups/chinups (not even close on this one)
--to be able to perform at least ONE curl w a 30lb dumbbell (working myself up to the 20s currently)0 -
I don't weigh myself. I have a favorite bikini and I try it on once a week to see how my appearance in it has changed. If I look good in it then I'm happy.0

Be a good healthy rolemodel for my daughter, I also want to inspire others to live a healthier lifestyle by them seeing how it has changed me. I also want to wear a bikini and short shorts without feeling utterly embarassed by my body
The scale number I chose is what I weighed before having my daughter and when I felt my best, I hope I can get there or close and look fitter and stronger.0 -
Right now I am trying to comfortably fit into the next size down for jeans... it's been 20-25 lbs so far.. still not happening lmao.0

I feel ya on the push ups, for the first 10 days of the 30 day shred I was useless in the first circuit. And I could barely do a half push up at my trainer assessment! That is one of my goals too!0 -

My short term goals are things like completing all the runs in this week's C25K set. Once I am running all of them, I focus on improving my pace a little bit, etc.
One of my medium term goals was to be able to sit down wearing jeans without the waist digging painfully into my gut, ugh. Achieved.
Long-term... to not have a noticeable belly bulge when sitting down.
Honestly, I feel like I look great minus clothes, but then when I wear even the best fitting clothes they feel so restrictive and uncomfortable, with bulges and awkward points. Curvy curvy curvy in a non-curvy clothing world. Ugh.0 -
Other than losing weight my goals are:
Blood pressure back into the 100/70 range
Total Cholesterol back under 1400 -

You'll get there!! AMAZING work so far though0 -

Sounds like you're already a great role-model. Very inspiring indeed.
I'm with ya on the bikini and short-shorts. Believe it or not, I even feel the same about the above-the-knee shorts. I always feel self conscious about my thighs and knees looking chubs. Time to be done with that!0 -
Squatting/deadlifting bodyweight
30 minute 5k
20% body fat0 -
I want to feel healthy and strong. I want the beauty within to show on the outside as well. Not that he isnt now but I want my boyfriend to be proud that Im his girlfriend. I want to wear sleeveless tops and shorts and high heels. I want to be able to buy clothes anywhere rather than the plus size stores I have to shop in now. I hope to one day marry my boyfriend and look beautiful on my wedding day and finally I want to have a family...a healthy family.0

I want to look in the mirror and be able to say "Damn I'm hot!"0
