    I want to NEVER binge eat again. I don't know what happens. It's like I look for an excuse and I go off the rails. Sorry my poor digestive system... I'm not sure you liked that cheeseburger and fries!!!

    Mine are pretty basic, but the simplest things are sometimes the hardest to stick with.
    They are:
    1) Keep up with my lifestyle change of working out 4-7 times per week and watching my nutrition and portions (hopefully losing ~70 lbs by the end of the year)
    2) Save more money for school, student loans, and my retirement
    3) Be a little less stressed (especially at work) and smile more
    4) Spend more time with my boyfriend and friends

    "Health" wise - I want to be smoking hot for the after tax season party. That means losing body fat and adding strength training to my schedule.

    I feel like I look the best I can with weight loss, the rest has to come from losing fat and adding muscle.

    Another goal is to learn how to drive for real. I got my license and I understand the mechanics but I am scared to drive.

    Physically, I want to lose most if not all of the excess weight. I'm not sure of the exact number, but right now based on my lean body mass, my ideal weight is somewhere in the 150s. Though I'm more aiming to fit into a certain pair of jeans :tongue: Also, I want to eat more protein and less fat and get serious about running.

    As far as the rest of my life goes, I mainly wanna figure out what I'm doing careerwise. I'm sort of bouncing around from one thing to another right now cuz I dunno what I want. And I'd like to meet a bunch of people, cuz I just moved here and I don't know that many people yet, mostly just family. I used to know a bunch of people when I lived here as a child, but we moved away ten years ago and I haven't really been back for long enough to run into any of my childhood friends.

    Maybe I'm superstitious, but odd-numbered years are usually really memorable for me, so I have high hopes for 2013.

    1. Hit my goal weight by my 1 year anniversary! (March 18)
    2. Run a half marathon
    3. Hike the Grand Canyon with my boyfriend

    My goal for weight loss is to reach my goal weight before spring.
    My other goal is to have everyone in the family, write something happy or positive each day, and put it into a jar. At the end of 2013, we'll read them to remember all the happy and good things that happened to us throughout the year.

    -15% body fat by summer. I'm at about 20% now.
    -Travel to a new city in the USA to visit. I've never been to NY, as an example.
    -Build up a better social network, IRL, i.e., more friends.
    -Work harder at work on the right things, focus on the next step.

    Wow! you guys rock!! Can't believe the response to this topic I posted just yesterday!! Since you're all being so specific, I guess I should too, so here's my detailed list so I can look back on this later:

    1. Lose 23 1bs and reach at least 25% body fat
    2. Fit back into my size 6-8 clothes comfortably
    3. Continue to progress with my strength training, lifting heavier and heavier as I move along
    4. Complete Jillian's 30 Day Shred (starting next week)
    5. Continue to get in at least 10,000 steps a day with my Fitbit
    6. Clean out at least 50% of the processed food in my home and start making 'clean' granola bars, muffins, etc for the kids for their snacks / eat cleaner overall
    7. Feel good in the summer wearing shorts and swim suits. :-)
    8. Feel comfortable walking around naked!

    Ok, I think I figured it out. I like this thread as it made me put things into perspective.

    2013 GOALS

    Keep doing 6-7 days per week of exercise. I love how I feel afterwards. 

    Would like to try to aim for 10,000 steps per day and increased water intake.

    Start to strength train "lift heavy things" LOL. Gonna look into body weight training. Apparently NerdFitness is a great place for this.

    Get rid of my prediabetes, which continued weight loss will do. 

    Reach my goal weight of 140, only 53 lbs to go. 

    Spend more time doing things I enjoy which include reading, baking, knitting and crochet. 

    Learn how to manage my time better. It always seems that I can't get things done. 

    Purge, purge, and purge some more. I have way to much stuff in my house. I think this lends a hand in why I can't seem to get things done. I am very unorganized. 

    Lastly, but not to say it isn't important, start a journal. I want to keep notes on my daily life.

    Love this thread...

    1. It took me most of 2012 to get (almost) 2/3 of my goal weight lost, so 2013 should see me through that final 1/3.

    2. I want to do an official race of 5k or higher every month (already have plans for a 5k, Warrior Dash, 10k,10 Miler and Half so now I just need to fill in the rest of the months).

    3. I have been doing the Move Your *kitten* Challenges every month since September here on MFP where you just make your own goal of how many miles you will do in a month in any way you want...walking, running, swimming, biking, hiking, elliptical, et cetera. I have been averaging over 170 a month so I figured I would try for 2,013 miles in 2013. Sounds reasonable?

    4. Learn/try to lift heavy.

    5. Enjoy life more!
