    I went white water tubing this summer... The 2 hours trip took me 4 hours and I hurt for 2 weeks afterward.

    I want to go again in August, complete the course in less than the average time and NOT feel like I died. I want to be a white water tubing pro!!

    Looking good naked.

    ultimate goal: hike the pacific crest trail! Hiking over 2500 miles with a 50 lb backpack is hard enough. i can't do it while carrying an extra 50 lbs around my waist.

    the pct is probably a distant goal, but just to be able to do any kind of long distance hike would be amazing

    Im thinking people dont understand what BIGGEST means, or they have a very small concept of it.

    I never thought to myself, my biggest goal in my entire existence is to beat the BMI scale....

    The TOPIC does not say "biggest goal in my entire existence"... L2read. There are people who are physically unable to do things because of their struggle with weight and they don't deserve to be chastised and embarrassed because of it with snide remarks. I commend anyone who has a victory, big or small, over their battle with weight and food. Just because people are overweight does not mean they lay on the couch eating bon-bons while watching soap operas all day long.

    I've lost over 60lbs in the past 6 months but only this week have I been able to do a full press-up, at the moment I can only do 3 before failing so I'd love to work up to 100 over the next year. That's my small goal, my other big goals are to be able to run a 1/2 marathon and eventually become a fitness instructor. Dream big!

    saying someone else's concept of big seems small.... is not being mean or bashing. Its not chastising or embarassing them. it says biggest non-scale goal and they said BMI.

    So unwedge your damn panties and put me on ignore.

    This is adult... but to be able to be on top without my fiance thinking I am too heavy.

    Yah I'm bringing this back, because my issues with this is the total opposite!
    I want to be on top without ME thinking I'm too heavy!

    Not my biggest goal, but something I think about for sure.

    Mine are to run a 5K race and do Tough Mudder next september.

    I've signed up for three events next year:
    1. The London 10K
    2. The London - Brighton Bike Ride (59 miles)
    3. The Prudential RideLondon Classic (100 miles)

    I need to lose tons of weight to get me 1,000,000 times fitter.

    That's my goal in any case irrespective of what the scales say.

    I love resurrected threads :)

    My biggest dream has yet to be dreamed... but, while I'm waiting, I have some smaller big goals...

    To "hike" a Pemi Loop in under 24 hours. (its about 26 miles and the elevation change is the equivalent to hiking Denali from sea level) I have it on my calendar for next July.

    To complete a Tough Mudder race, by actually doing every obstacle. I have this on my calendar for next June.

    To look absolutely amazing in my wedding dress, and, better yet, to have a good time shopping for one and trying all different styles on. The wedding is August 23, 2014.

    Most importantly - to inspire my girls to be as healthy as possible.

    I honestly don't give a rat's hiney about the scale.... I want body fat under 25%.
