I posted this because we all have weight loss goals in mind. We have an idea of how much we want to lose, etc. I have a number in mind but I don't know if I'll stick to it or adjust when I get closer. I just want to be happy with my body, muscle tone, etc. But I think lots of times lots of us get wrapped up in the scale too much. "OMG the scale didn't move this week, I did HORRIBLE, how will I go on!?" Maybe not that extreme, but you get the point :tongue:

Some of my NS Goals are:

- Be able to completely run a 5k (trying to run at all right now is difficult b/c I keep getting shin splints regardless of the different stretches I do!)

- Pick up some new winter activities next year such as snowshoeing and cross country skiing

- Hit the beach next summer and not be ashamed!

- Feel better about myself in general - this is already starting happen even though I have a long way to go both physically and mentally!

- Complete P90x and Insanity

There's more that I can't think of at the moment, I'll repost when I do!

    My New Year's Resolution is to run a 5K ( we have one in June, for Cancer Research, here in the UK), so I started the COUCH TO 5K running programme this week... Day 3 tomorrow!!!

    I desperately want to be down a dress size ( I keep having to extend the month I want it to happen )

    To wear great summer clothes and feel gorgeous!!!

    I would love to be able to bench press 200lbs. I'm at 180. But it's rough.

    I'd also like to be able to hold a hand stand for a full 30 seconds.

    And lastly, I'd like to be able to do 20 pull ups without having to nurse my right trap for 3 weeks afterwards. (grrrr)

    Other than that, I hit my non scale goal ever day I walk out of the gym - peace, health and a feeling of compassion for all life. Lifting for me is like meditation for a monk. It puts me into a totally different space.

    To feel good enough to wear female costumes/cosplay rather than male ones.

    To not be squishy :P

    To actually have some self-esteem and self-confidence, which I haven't had since kindergarten. Having this confidence will hopefully help me leave my retail job, go to school, and do something fulfilling... so, basically, change my life. :)

    What a great post, Courtney! I think it's great to focus on the NSVs - a lot of times they come before that number drops on the scale :wink:

    :flowerforyou: I want to be able to sit on my husband's lap, without risking injury (or numbness) :laugh:
    :flowerforyou: When my 3 month old son becomes a toddler, i want to have the energy to keep up with him
    :flowerforyou: I don't want to get "chub-rub" on my thighs in the summer if I wear a skirt
    :flowerforyou: Be toned
    :flowerforyou: To kiss my muffin top GOOD-BYE!!!
