    Mine is to not give up on C25k when it starts to get hard. I know I can physically do it, but I don't know if I can mentally do it.

    I have mental wars between lifting as much as possible on my squat/deadlift/bench and looking sexy.

    Considering I'm a touch fat now, they conflict. I hate body fat...

    My goal is to maintain my weight and improve my current fitness level. To me, that means endurance, energy, and long lean muscle.

    by the #'s - weigh 129 pounds, and move nike fuel from 2000 to 4000 a day average, and move barre 3 from 1-2 sessions of 10-30 minutes to three sessions of 10-30 minutes... or a total of 45 minutes to an hour and a half a day. That's my 2013 goals and I started last weekend!

    To keep maintaining my weight in 2013. Reached my goal in May 2012 (5'6" 146lbs UK dress size 10) and apart from fluctuations of a couple of lbs up and down (which I think is just normal life) I have held my weight steady since.

    I never want to weigh anywhere near 179lbs again which is where I started in Aug 2011.

    Short-term, get to 215lbs by New Year. Pretty tough but doable as long as I watch myself over Christmas and don't go overboard with the food.

    Long term, to be fit and healthy by this time next year. Ideally around 160lbs, but as long as I feel happy and healthy then I'm ok with that even if it is over 160lbs.

    My next scale goal is to weigh 132.4 pounds, which will be a 100 pound loss from my highest weight in 2007, and maintain it.

    Fitness goals are to run the half marathon I signed up for in April in less than 2 1/2 hours and to be able to do one set of unassisted dips and pullups.

    I want to do 6 5k's in 2013, and start training for a 10k. I want to lose 40 more pounds by May 1st, which will be my 1 year anniversary on MFP. I want to (and plan to) start lifting heavier also, just waiting for weights as my Christmas present.

    I also *want* to start playing Roller Derby in the summer of 2013, but will need to make sure my back is up for it (chronic sciatica that I am hoping the weight loss will help enough to skate).

    Also plan to finish 30 Day Shred before Christmas. On level 2 now!
