To have my husband pick me up is something I am aiming for. And to feel comfortable.. Ahem, on top during sex.
Totally agree...
Feeling apprehensive during sex.. especially when on top..
Serious lack of confidence.. (Most likely a huge turn off for the hubby)

I like to set goals that are daily. I like to see if I can do certain goals daily. How many meals I can eat, or how long I can worout. My favorite thing to do is buy an outfit and try to fit into it at a certain time.0

A lot of my goals were similar to yours. On my list are/were...
Stef's Top Ten Reasons for Losing Weight
10. To look in a mirror without being sad. I look and smile again!
9. Tying my shoes without being winded. It's nice to not ask hubby or son to help me.
8. Give myself a pedicure...comfortably. Do it weekly now!
7. Cross my legs at my actual knees, not an ankle across a knee...comfortably.
6. To regain my self esteem...It's returning more and more each day!
5. To like and eventually love myself again...I'm pretty fond of me now!
4. To have no more back pain...It's mostly gone now, unless I really overdo it.
3. To wear sleeveless tops without feeling self conscious! Finally started, recently.
2. To regain my personality, it had changed so much due to self esteem issues...I'm Back!
And the number 1 reason...To Look Good NAKED!
Only one of my goals involved a number and that was basically to lose 112 pounds. I am so close now that I even wonder if I really need to lose the last 7. But, I will!
I gave myself a ton of motivation to reach my goal. At size 22, I started creating a wardrobe in size 6.I just knew that I would make it if I believed in myself and worked for it. I have sewed 49 new outfits since last May. I can wear them all now. It helped me so much!

To beat my friend at arm wrestling.
And then pick him up with one hand and triumphantly throw him across the room.
That is an admirable goal. Please when you accomplish this record yourself doing it and put it on the internet for my viewing pleasure.0 -
To go 2,3 rounds in bed.0

A lot of your goals are things that I want but didn't think of. Like getting my old personality back. I was never skinny. In high school I was around 260lbs. But I was friendly and outgoing, people liked me, I thought of other people first and all that. Now I'm grouchy, bitter and I don't want to be seen anywhere. So yeah, I want to have that old person back again! And looking in the mirror and not crying is another one. That goes hand in hand with looking good naked. Because I can't look at myself in the mirror before I jump into the shower or I cry.0 -
I had the same goals when I started out at 351#s. I've accomplished everything you have listed and so much more. You can do it!!!! :bigsmile:0

To get rid of cellulite, is that even possible???? I have tried it all!!0

Also:
1. To do 10 pull-up with no assistance
2. To leg press 500
3. To run a mile in under 15 minutes.
4. To wear a 2-piece bikini/backless dress confidently0 -
My goals aren't really that unusual either, but I'll share them anyway:
-be able to fit into clothes that people in my age group wear (instead of shopping in the women's department)
-be comfortable with myself
-not have to worry about sitting arrangements (theatre, backseats of cars, etc.)
-stop feeling like everyone is judging me based on my weight.0 -
Unusual goals... maybe.
1: to be kind to myself
2: to love the person I see in the mirror
3:knees to no longer ache
4: to be able to run 5 k without stopping
5: to love an exercise that I want to do every day.
6: To look in the mirror and SEE a positive thing every day (DONE)
7 do 10 full push ups.
8: oh and totally vain... but to be able to shop in a "Skinny" store.. you know the ones I am talking about lol...0 -
Most of mine aren't numbers related, I find that I get to discouraged when I focus on numbers. I don't even have a scale anymore because it just stressed me out.
-Be able to wear a bikini- I keep my computer desktop pictures of ones that I like to try and motivate me
-Be comfortable enough in my body to get the side tattoo that I want.
-Be able to comfortably wear heals again
-Be able to run a 5k - I currently do an 8k walk but I could never run more than .5k0 -
OP...good job. I actually think those types of goals end up being much more beneficial than some arbitrary number. Often the reason people fail is that they obsess about a number...rather than obsessing about achieving health goals, fitness goals, and being able to do certain things goals. One thing that's helped me immensely is focusing in specifically on nutrition goals and fitness goals....my weight loss is just an awesome bi-product of achieving my nutrition and fitness goals. I've never had a goal of being XX Lbs...it's dumb, especially when you consider that most people look better at somewhat of a higher weight than they're shooting for with some muscle...instead, people obsess about that arbitrary number and lose a lot of muscle in the process of their dieting.0

Be able to crush man's skull like robins egg between thighs.
I'm totally serious. I wanna be strong0 -
I guess my nonweight/nonexercise goal is to look like I could be on the cover of King Magazine...0

I have a mix of scale and non-scale goals. My scale one isn't very set in stone, once I hit the onderland milestone. Or a bit lower the scale can be mostly retired:
Row a 10k in 60 minutes
walk a 5k in 45 minutes
Hit onderland
Do 10 full pushups
Plank for 3 minutes
walk 5mph for 30 min
Row 5k at 2:30/500m
Row 1k in 4 minutes
Do a pull up
Run 5k
Deadlift my body weight for 5-8 reps
Hit "goal" weight of 165ish or goal measurements are apx: 38-27-39 (my goal weight is solidly in the overweight BMI, but is basically where I was around age 14 or so.)
Hit 22-24% body fat
Do 100 full pushups
Get a retro bikini (this is a little bit harder than the other goals. They don't seem to have one in my size. Bra size that is. I need a bra sized bikini. And all of the ones I have seen are dress sized. Maybe by the time I reach near goal, someone will come out with one.
)
I guess that is about it.0 -

I hear you! About the seating arrangements. I'd like to be able to ride roller coasters, too. I'd also like to walk into the non-plus sized section and wear something trendy for a change.0 -
- not binging daily, or feeling the urge or "need" daily
