In order to keep my motivation up I want to create a list of my NSV goals:

Thanksgiving Day: Turkey Trot 5K and I want to jog the WHOLE thing!!
Wear my size 16 dress and have it look GOOD again
Walk without my inner arms brush against my spare tire
Shop in a non-plus size store
Fit into my size 14 pencil skirt that I wore in high school

What are YOUR NSV goals?

    I have 4 :)
    1. I have a particular pair of jeans that I Love but theyve always been tight. I want them to fit perfectly and then go out and totally rock them.
    2. When I run on the treadmill I always run my butt off for the first three miles and then slow to down for the last couple. My goal is to run those three miles in 21 minutes Without having to pause at all or hop of for water. My current time is 21:13 but I had to pause for 30 seconds at mile 2.5 . Going from how horrible of a runner I used to be, a 7 min mile is like I sprouted wings. :)
    3. That being said, sometime in the near future I want to complete a marathon
    4. I want to be able to be able to max out the female army pt test. Imm not in the army but hubby is and I love encouraging him to work hard and improve his score. For females, maxing out the pt test is something about 48 push ups, 70 sit ups and a 15 min 2-mile. Those arentt the exact numbers but I cantt remember them off the top of ny head. Ill definitely remember them when I accomplish it tho!

    1. To wear a bikini on our Dec trip and feel comfortable in it - no tummy jiggle.
    2. To have only clothes that fit. For years I have had clothes in a range of sizes. It's a pain to pack a suitcase.
    3. Run a 10k, maybe even a 1/2 marathon.

    1. to be able to run the 10K I've signed up for in March in aid of my sister's disability charity (only at 5K running and almost dying now!)
    2. to be able to get into a UK size 10 in any shop (went shopping yesterday and in many of the stores I got into a 10 but not all)
    3. to swim an open water 1 mile event (can do it in the pool but open water is a different matter)
    4. to not look my age (40) - nobody wants to be fat at 40 do they?

    That's a good one! I too have big calves and have trouble getting boots to fit. Looking forward to trying some on for the winter in a couple of months now 15lbs have gone I've started running - maybe 1 pair will fit this time (without elasticated sides).

    I have a few....

    I would like to be able to run a 5K without dying...or without needing a knife wielding maniac to chase me ;)

    I would like to be able to wear boots again...I havent since high school.

    I would just like to feel "normal" and not incredibly self conscious anymore.

    1. To be able to wear some of my skirts and dresses again. Right now, I can hardly get the skirts over my thighs *rolls eyes*

    2. To be able to dance without feeling my whole body wobble from the fat.

    3. To be able to do the splits and be (almost) as flexible as a ballet dancer.

    4. To be able to go into a clothes store and try on "normal" trousers without having to search for the ones with extra-wide thighs.
