What is Your Goal / Dream? (Not a number on the scale)

to get healthier and live as long as possible.. i have a child that depends on me

Ultimately, I want to make a 6 minute mile.
Get abs, do a handstand (and hold it) and a press handstand.
to wear a smaller size than i am now
to inspire others to take action regarding their weight
to parade around comfortably in a bikini on the beach and do a split handstand.
to attain control

clothes.... bikiniiiii

My dream goal is to become self sustaining. I want to grow a garden, raise livestock, and live off grid somewhere in the hills of California with my husband and our son.

Capoeira like a beautiful vision! Someday I will!

Four words: Single Digit Dress Size

I'd love to be able to go shopping at normal stores and not be automatically searching for the largest size they carry and hoping against all hope that it might fit.

To be happy with what I see in the mirror for once.

To get enough of my confidence back to be able to date again without worrying about this guy being a chubby chaser or something... (not that there's anything wrong with chubby chasers, I just don't want to be a chasee)

To get enough of my confidence back to be able to date again without worrying that I'm not attractive enough or something because of my weight.

To notice one day that I no longer feel my tummy on my lap when I sit down (getting close!! There's only a little left!!)

Small calves (One day... one day...) so I can feel comfortable in the stockings I love so much

To reach that day when I purchase some size 8 or size 6 jeans, put them on and go "Ok... I'm good at this weight. I think I'll maintain here."

To cosplay with confidence!!

Smaller ring size.

Smaller shoe size (I hope, I hope, I hope!!!)

To take Tribal Fusion classes and not feel like a cow in the outfit.

To be able to get those peacock feathers tattooed on my back that I've wanted for years and be able to show them off when I want to.

To be able to buy bracelets and have them fit...

To buy super adorable rockabilly dresses and feel as awesome as they are.

To be able to use the "As God as my witness, I'll never be 'plus size' again!" speech I've had prepared for years... because dramatic weight loss deserves a dramatic commentary and who's more dramatic than Vivien Leigh in Gone With the Wind? :P

etc... but you get the idea

All of that for me too single digit sizes would be great !

I want to sit in the car put on the seat belt and not have that awful roll show its ugly face!

get shredded

Achieve a fit bf% (18-20), wear a hot bikini to the beach, and be an all around babe.
Oh! And have measurements of curves to kill!

My goal is approximately this physique:

Fitness-wise, I would love to be able to run a marathon ... a 10k would be my goal. I see women effortlessly floating on sidewalks and down graveled pavement .... ipods in ears, water bottle in hand, and shutting out the world * I'd love to have that mental clarity in doing that type of exercise

Food-wise, I'd like to be able to eat for fuel; to not turn to food to get me through emotional times, and to be able to eat fresh, whole foods. Actually enjoy treats in moderation, and go back to eating freshly the very next meal!

Physically- I'd love to not have a stomach that hangs over, not have backfat, and to have shoulders/upper arms that I am not ashamed of. I'd like to be able to wear a tank top with my hair in a bun in the summer -- versus, wearing tank tops, but keeping my hair down to cover my shoulders, or wearing a tshirt or a little jacket in 90 degree heat -- all because I hate my arms. I'd like to have fabric skim over my body without ripples of flesh bulging out from underneath. I dont need a flat stomach, in fact, I sort of want a cute stomach with a little pudge and some extra curves to my hips ... but I want a flat back and small-ish shoulders

Emotionally & Mentally: I want to not have any doubts in my mind that I look good. I want to be a good mood day in and day out in terms of my body ... and know that I am treating it with respect and feeding it the fuel it needs ... not just eating for emotional issues or eating out of habit or comfort

Start my family. Every day that goes by that I'm not pregnant is killing me. I want healthy pregnancies, healthy babies, and to raise them with the right attitude toward food. I need to succeed with my kids where my parents failed. Still trying to change my own eating habits.

You can do it! Keep going!!

I have so many dreams; to wear a dress, go dancing again, play with my grandson's, ride bikes with my hubby, to be able to walk up stairs without being out of breath, to wear nicer clothes, walk around without all the stares and finger pointing, and to feel comfortable about being me.....to name a few!

I just wanted to hear what everyone's goals or dreams are besides some number on the scale. What do you want to achieve?

For me when I get in better shape, I want to do the Susan G Coleman's 3 day breast cancer walk. My mom passed of breast cancer and I would like to participate in that walk when I turn 50 (two more years).

That's my dream goal, what's yours?

What a beautiful dream!!! Thanks for sharing!!

My goal: To look at myself in the mirror and not see the 248lb person I started out as.....
