    Wear my old clothes. I have too many clothes in different sizes and they take up a lot of space. I given myself until July 2015 to get rid of sizes I don't need - I want it to be the bigger sizes.

    Shop at my favorite stores. Even with all the clothes I have I miss how easy it was to shop when I was smaller.

    Stop wearing girdle undergarments.

    Run faster for longer distances without stopping

    Feel comfortable taking pictures from any angle.

    But what about the non-weight goals?

    I don't really have a specific weight related goal, except insamuchas it influences my running and cycling performance.

    Right now objectives are:

    Complete a trail half marathon
    Sub 1:50 half marathon
    45 minute 10K
    Complete a trail marathon in 12 months time
    Complete a trail ultra in about 18 months time

    This is a great topic!

    Short term:
    I want to run a 5K - nearly there on this one!
    I want to do full pushups rather than modified.

    Longer term:
    I want to wear a size 10, currently in an 18 (that at least isn't tight anymore!)
    I want to fit back in my rehearsal dinner dress. I love that dress :)

    Get back into my pre-2nd pregnancy clothes. Or, at least get to my goal weight so I'll know if they will even still fit (stuff shifts).

    Because my closet is too full. I'm not a clothes horse by any means, but I'm tired of having both 16/14 and 10's. I want to wear the cute 10's that fit my style (aka, 40-something mother of 2), and not the stuff I bought just to have something to wear.

    And then, I want to get rid of the other half of the closet. Hey, if I find out that my cute clothes don't fit even after the goal, then I donate them to charity and replace them.

    Also, to get to the point where my 2 year old can't use my belly as a soft squishy pillow.

    You know that one seat on the bus that's between a pole and an arm rest and everyone else can sit in perfectly comfortably but you just have to pretend you're being really gallant when you gesture for other people to take it instead of you?

    I want to sit in that seat.

    To fit (comfortably) into a uk size 10. (In every store/brand not just the ones that run on the large side).

    1) I want to be able to ride roller coasters again, too. A few years ago, I could only fit into two roller coasters at Kings Dominion, and that was with a bit of struggle. I was very embarrassed and very sad.

    2) To run at 6mph pace again.

    3) To do ONE pull-up.

    4)To do 30 consecutive full push-ups.

    5) To have a 28 inch waist.

    I have a few:

    1. 30 minute 5K (most recent 5k goal was to run the whole thing, I did! Time was 40:11)
    2. run a 10K
    3. Fit into a size 10 (never been in my adult life)
    4. Be able to do one pull up

    All of these will change when I reach them to more aggressive goals.

    I want the extra fat around my stomach and abdomen to be completely gone. I am so tired of my mid-section looking like lumpy jello!

    My only goal, other than losing weight, is losing inches. I want to be smaller than I am and have a healthy BMI.

    I want to wear a bathing suit, in public. I want my pants size to be in the single digits. If I put my husbands pants on, I want them to fall straight down, no matter how I am standing. I want to climb stairs and not be winded. I don't want to be scared of getting diabetes some day.

    Only NSV I have left is to not have to restrict my sodium intake. I still have another year before getting blood tests to be sure, but what I've gotten from my infrequent BP tests is that I just have HBP.

    Now I'm sad thinking about the foods I can't eat anymore.

    Dear! Where do I begin?!

    The most amazing one, might not be achievable because I know it also depends on genetics, would be to get rid of rubbing thighs. I haven't walk comfortably with naked legs for 17 years.

    Then, I'd like to rock a Bodycon Dress. Especially a Hervé Leger one. (Yep, I know the price...)

    Hitting 23% bodyfat

    Bye bye cellulite!!

    Bye bye cankles, too!!

    Calves that would fit into any boots

    And A LOT of fitness goals!!!

    These are all inspiring and make weight loss seem so much more then just losing pounds!

    I want to try standup paddle boarding. I want to walk around on a beach or at the pool without feeling the need to cover myself up. I want to go biking next summer, and the paddle boarding, next aummer too.

    When on vacation with my best friend next summer, I want to run in the morning with him...at least once, usually he brings me breakfast in bed and goes for his run. I like that part, but want to surprise him by running with him one morning.
