The only goal I have set for myself is my ending weight, but the more I see other people's posts and goals, I think I need to give more thought to my own. I think by setting the goals, you will be more apt to stick with your diet and exercise to reach the goal. I saw someone post several goal weights (after 1 mo. goal, after 3 mos. goal, etc.) and after they reached each goal, they received a reward - pedicure, new bathing suit, new dress,etc.

I think those are great ideas and I'm going to work on my individual goals tonight! Good luck to you on your weight loss journey!!

My long term goal is to run a full marathon by the time I'm 40 (which is way too soon). I will be running my 3rd half marathon this November and hope to run a full by the following March.

I've been overweight my whole life and there are a few things I've always dreamed of. Running a mile in 8 minutes, outside, in a sports bra! haha. Well really, being comfortable wearing ANYTHING sleeveless...seriously I always wear a cardigan no matter how cute my top is or how hot it is outside! I'd also love to learn to surf, and go biking on a regular basis...maybe do a triathlon eventually. I want to get married in a designer gown one day, as well

Goal 1: another 15 lbs by 06/25 - which will put me at my lowest weight as an "adult"
Goal 2: 50 lbs off of my current weight by 10/01
Goal 3: 75 lbs off of my current weight by 02/15/2011
Goal 4: 100 lbs off of my current weight by 05/26/2010

After losing 30 pounds(my first goal), the next goal was to run a half marathon. It's this Sunday!!!!:bigsmile:
My next goal was to help my mom get started on her weight loss journey. . . .

My first big goal has passed... I waved good bye to 50 pounds as of last month (I'm down a little over 60 now :bigsmile: )
My next goal is a 5k- I'm set to run it 6/12

After that it's pretty vague. I'm about to adjust my weight loss goal a bit more... probably an extra 10 pounds. I have 18 pounds to go from my first goal. When I get there I'll probably "5 more pounds" myself skinny. :laugh:

I'm buying myself a bike and I plan on cycling to work at least 2 days a week this summer (when summer finally decides to show up that is :grumble: ).

Right now I'm just getting used to where I am... I'll figure out the rest when I start to get comfortable again. :bigsmile:

Good Luck to all of you no matter what your goal!!

:drinker:

Well, my biggest goal (and dream for more than a decade) is to cross the country by bicycle. I love riding my bike and tour when I can but my longest trip to date has only been 8 days (270 miles). Crossing the country usually takes 6-8 weeks...or more if you're slow like me. I've got a weekend backpacking trip this coming fall as well as another week long bike tour, hopefully.

But my even longer term goal is to live to be105-106. If I still feel good, then I'd like to continue on to 112. Not sure why those are my numbers but they are.
