I've always been kind of curious as to what goals people have set themselves, or challenges they're part of - so I'd like to hear yours, be it one goal or many!

I'm not just talking about goal weight here. I'm talking (for example) "lose xx lbs before January 1st 2013", or "be able to do 100 push ups before ((date))".

And here's where it gets fun; if you don't have a goal yet, make one, no matter how small or how big! :D

Mine is to get out of the 200's by November. :)
19th of September
Weight: 207.2 lbs.

26th of September:
Weight: 204.3 lbs.
(- 3.1 lbs)

To go: 4.7 lbs.

You? :)

    My goal is to get back down to 117, the weight I got down to before selling my house, living homeless/camping for a month without regular access to MFP, then moving to my home town where everything changed and I've been struggling to keep my weight down. My last weigh-in was 128. I'm okay at this weight, but if I don't keep up with MFP, I fear I will soon be right back up to the danger of being over-weight zone of 149, my highest recorded weight. My challenge is, not only is my family a poor influence on my weight control, but now the doctor said no more working out until we get my X-Ray results and figure out why I'm still in pain from stubbing my toe on a tree stump 10 weeks ago.

    You know I love a goal!!! Here are mine and how I plan on accomplishing them.

    Squats current 35kgs, goal 42kgs by 10th Dec
    Deadlifts current 35kgs, goal 42kgs by 10th Dec - I'm starting the gym on Oct 8th and finishing of my NROLFW stage 7 then starting Stronglifts 5x5 program.

    Run 5k outdoors by 25th Dec - I'm using an incline now on my treadmill runs and doing some speedwork. I'll begin running outdoors in October for one day of the weekend to build up my running without music or treadmill pushing me.

    The Ranelagh Harriers Richmond Half Marathon 5th May 2013 - training outdoors using a half marathon program starting in December.

    I don't want weight specific goals because its really a bummer to me if I don't reach them. I'm going to continue to eat within my calorie goals and reaching my other goals should help the weight fall off.

    Ultimate goal is to look smoking hot in a bikini summer 2013! :tongue:

    I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. :( I wish you the best of luck - both with your foot and your goals. :) (And good luck to Schwim too, of course! :D)

    Hi, my goal is to get down to 140 min by 11/24. We are going to the Bay area for Thanksgiving and want to look the way I did when my husbands family met me 9 years ago! The last time I saw them I had the excuse of just having had a baby, or so that's what everyone kept saying! ; ) I hope to be less than that, but i don't want to set myself up for failure! I'm about 150 now and have less than eight weeks to go!!!!

    I would also like to get down to about 135 lbs and lose my belly fat before my next birthday (5/19-29 years old)!

    It's time for no more excuses and I hope to continue to learn how to eat healthy all the time and for it to come naturally! I love MFP and I hope to continue to use it for a long time! : )

    Thanks for posting this topic, it's nice to put it in writing out there!

    Good luck with your goals too! We are in this together, right!?!
