What are your REALISTIC goals for 2014?
Replies

To get down to 155. I'm at 171 right now. 16 more lbs. Hubby said that when I hit 155 we can try for baby #2. Depending on how long it takes to concieve, I'd like to lose more. Goal is 135. Whether I hit that in 2014 or 2015, I don't mind.0

Mine is simply to keep doing what I have done this month! Regular gym sessions and meeting my weekly calorie intake. The rest should just work itself out!0

It's good to have goals. However, it is more important to focus on changes that can me included as lifestyle changes. . There is no point in setting goals that you cannot .be live with. My goal is to loose another 19 pounds them focus on maintaining.0
-
First off I am challenging myself to log food every single day from now until the end of next year, even when it's not pretty.
Secondly reach my goal which is currently 13 lbs. away.0 -
Finally get the last 11 pounds off (for a round 100)
Run a marathon. I did a half in october (my first) and I will start training for my late July Marathon in March
Definately Tough Mudder (again) and I keep going back and forth as to wether or not I'm going to do the whole Spartan Race Trifecta this year. I did a sprint last year but it was on Mt. Snow Vermont and the mountain itself may have been the worst part...
I just really want to keep up on my running and maybe be able to do 10 pull-ups (I can do 5 now).
I have a boat load of races already scheduled. I want to have enough medals for a christmas tree and I'm well on my way.0 -
To be at my goal weight by next birthday0
-
The most realistic goal I have is actually not weight related for the first time ever
I know crazy!0 -
Oh I love goals. They're fun!!!
1. Get down to 135 by May or June. Then re-evaluate and see if I want to go for 125. Don't care how long it takes to get to 125 cause I know last ten pounds will be slow.
2. Do cardio 4x per week. Do weights 2x per week.
3. Find a new job.
4. Enroll in online school.
5. Find a boyfriend. LOL.0 -
I've set myself little goals weight wise throughout the year, so far I've hit them all... so the main one is to reach my goal weight, and/or, ultimate goal weight! I'd just got under the 200's before Christmas (196), weighing this morning I was back over (202) lol.. It'll be back off again soon. :drinker:0
-
My goal is to be at 140 by my birthday in September. I'm at about 192 right now -- 28 down, 52 to go
Even if the scale stops moving, I'd like to get some type of aerobic exercise for at least 30 minutes, four times a week.0 -
1. Finish Les Mills Pump and do ??T25?? (Should be able to buy that cheap on Craigslist in a couple of weeks - lol)
2. Golf at least once per week, or twice, or three times :-)
3. Ride the Katy trail at least once per week - get in 500 miles in between April 1 and September 30
4. Get total body fat to 18%0 -
My goals for 2014 are:
(A) To continue to maintain my weight at between 175-180 lbs as measured by my home scale when I first get up in the mornings.
(B) Be able to run up to 5k straight through instead of only being able to run a total of 150 meters at a time.
and (C) Be able to handle stress better...0 -

1. Go from running 5K to 10K.
2. Go from 22% body fat to 18%.
3. Lift heavier weights compared to now.
4. Drop 25 lbs.0 -
To continue getting stronger and crushing my weight lifting goals...I've already passed a couple of my goals for early 2014 so I have to rethink things! Also, lowering body fat percentage in the process.0
-
- Complete the Oxfam 100km nonstop walk in April 2014 (had to pull out 4.75kms from the end this year after walking 75kms on an injured knee - heartbreaking!)
- first half marathon in May 2014 (have done 2 x 1/4 marathons this year, about 25 x 10km runs and am up to 16kms in my training)
- do another 1-2 half marathons before the end of year
- maintain weight (have stayed same for last 8 months), perhaps drop another 1-2kgs
- stay happy0 -
- stay happy
I love that! lol0 -
Realistic goals? Well, I'm hoping for about 5 pounds per month, to put me within a whisper of my goal by my birthday in August. And I'm hoping to finish c25K and, hopefully, successfully complete at least one 5k before the end of the year. I'd like to get a totally clean bill of health when I get my physical in March, i.e., sugar down, cholesterol lower, etc. (I'll have to change more of how I eat for that). And, if necessary, I hope to get my knees looked at and "fixed." LOL I'm hoping to see my still-in-school daughter graduate and get a job (the graduating will happen... the job? Wellllllll..... fingers crossed). I'm hoping to see my teacher daughter happy in her job (still). And I'm hoping to see my son still happy in his job and his life choices.
Happy New Year, y'all!0 -
I want to reach my goal weight, which is 30 lbs. I want to have dropped 20 by May since we have a trip to Hawaii we are planning. Can't think of better motivation!0
-
I love ur goal. I can also relate to this. I think i will say this for me as well since i have done terrible since october. Up til october i was tracking pretty decent. But i need to definately put forth the effort to track daily and try to staybwithin calorie goal, consume 8 or more cups of water a day, lay aside sodos again and daily do 30 or more minutes of some form of activity.0

1. Keep maintaining (continue my healthy eating and exercise habits), and ditch my "lifelong yo-yo" syndrome.
2. Return to running (already begun) and continue training for a 5K -- I've registered for one in March.
3. Repeat the 9/11 Memorial Fitness Challenge (climbing 110 flights of stairs), which I did this past September.
4. "Reach" the Republic of Nauru in my Virtual Ride Around the Equator by the end of 2014. That would mean I've crossed the 8,000-mile mark on my mini-bike since Sept. 1, 2012. (I'm currently at 4562.5.)
5. Keep taking MOOCs.
6. Keep on with leisure reading and creative pursuits.
7. Carpe diem.
OP, I use calipers to measure my body fat percentage. The ballpark estimate is sufficient for me.0 -
Strength training into my exercises, I already started but by July I should be at a good pace with it, right now it's a little painful0

My goals
*Lose 10kg
*Not to get ocd on my weight loss journey but to have control and balance,
*Not to worry that others are losing more, or running miles.
*But to have consistency with my eating no days of hard out dieting then worrying and eating,
*Not to work hard out but to work to what my body can cope with.
*To keep with my gluten free eating, keep the fog at bay.
and to sort out my Vanilla coke addiction.
and just to maintain a healthy life style.0 -
I just wrote mine while going through this:
1000kms in 2014
Complete 30 day squat challenge
Get to 100 push ups
Do pole dancing class
Run a half marathon (end of year goal, first 5k in Jan! lol)
Lose & keep off 11kg
Restart and finish 30 Day Shred
Start and finish Ripped in 30
Walk to or from work on run days and both on non run days - even if strolling! Try to go for a stoll 3 times a week at lunch
Go from a size 12-14 to an 8
Healthy BMI
LOOK AMAZING IN SOMETHING SLUTTY WHEN I TURN 26 NEXT DECEMBER (Honest goal, apologies if TMI)0 -
To lose at least most of the weight. At least the 2 lbs a week I'm shooting for. To lose this god damn weight so I can be a better father to my 9 year old girl who probably sees way more of me and how negatively I feel about myself than I'd like her to. Although I have an awesome relationship with my little girl, I don't want her to see her father weak. Depressed. Overcome. Beaten. I'm supposed to be here to inspire her and I can't do that when I'm letting my flaws win!
I also want to be a runner. Right now it feels like a bunch of midget boxers punching me in the ribs as I run. But to really run and just keep going and not stop. Ah man. That's my dream right there. And to make a good friend. I've let myself get a litttttle too complacent at home over the years and forgot what it was like to go out and have friends. So that..:that's what I want. Oh. And to win the lottery0 -
* Continue my weight loss. I am not going to set a specific number, as it will just disappoint me if i don't hit it. I am down 39 lbs total (22 lbs for 2013) and have approximately 36 to go. Give or take.
* Hit 50 miles in January. I set a goal of 30 miles (walking, running, and stationary bike) for December, and I should hit that as I only have 5 miles to go. Will probably set a goal for February as well, depending on where I am in C25K.
* Finish C25K. I have one more day of week 2; jogging is a struggle for me due to my asthma, so I am going to go as slow as I need to in order to finish. So far I have repeated one day, and learned that running outside in the cold is not an option. So back to the treadmill I go.
* Begin Stronglifts when I finish C25K. By then I should be able to afford a trainer to help with my form, and hopefully the new year's resolutioners will no longer be clogging the gym.
* Horse jumping. Right now I am trotting and cantering over ground poles, want to jump at least 2' (and hopefully more like 2'6") by the end of 2014.
* Get back into the horse show ring this summer, not sure yet what division/class
* Pay off one of my student loans and be at least halfway to paying off a second0 -
I guess my realistic goal for 2014
Would be is to drop 60lb (27.5kg) and hopefully acquire girlfriend someday.
I want a girlfriend that looks like this also, (hint: I always have a fetish for short and glasses.)
Good luck everyone !0 -
Run a 10k. Ahh! I said it out loud, so it's a real goal. I know I can do it though!0
-
My weight goal for 2014 is 135 lbs by Nov 1st. That's over 1.5 lbs to lose per month from my current weight. I will tone-up all my muscle so they are more defined.0

to lose 15 pounds by my wedding in May0
