    My goal is to complete a Tough Mudder in 2016...yes, 2016. It's going to take that long to get into the fitness shape I'll need. Along the way, I plan to do some other fitness things...scheduled for a 10k in May, a Mudderella in June and hopefully a half marathon in October. We'll see what else happens between now and the TM.

    Yes. To buy really good quality yarn in small quantities to knit all the stuff I'd like to in smaller sizes for my selfish self.

    And because I'm inherently lazy? It satisfies me to know that knitting those things will take less time than knitting something at the size I started at did.

    They will also take less yarn which means you'll have more money to invest in...yes...more yarn. :)

    I want for my fiance (soon to be husband - 41 days!!!) to be able to pick me up. We weigh just about the same right now and we're both nearly 6ft tall.... so that's not happening any time soon.

    Yes this! Lol! Hello fellow knitter :-)
    I am all about having a finished product faster! I just finished a long chunky shrug which i widened a little more than the pattern called for, but it still doesn't hang right on me. I was bummed, but it looks beautiful on my mother! I am now making a new one which i hope is roomy on me after I've whittled my body down a little bit :-)

    I had one yesterday... I was running and had an undies malfunction. They fell down. Yup. Totally embarrassed, but fantastic.

    I have a few old dresses that I can't quite zip up, or can but they don't sit right on me. I'd love to be able to wear them again and like the way I look in them.

    Some really inspirational NSVs here :)
    @archanajoyce - LOL @ reaching C25K week 5 and not dying! Are you doing it inside or outside? I am thinking of trying it but not sure whether to start on the treadmill or to go outside.
    @kimberlyhurt - best wishes for your upcoming wedding :) that's a really good NSV.
    @Icck - me too. I have several party dresses that barely zip up or not at all :( good luck with it :)
    @SallyinIL - me too. The older I get, the more difficult it seems. I think I will have to track for the rest of my life as I just cannot be trusted to not overeat (even relatively healthy items). I just LOVE eating!
    @Vixenmd1 - nice gown :) good luck :)
    @runeatrunlive - I can cross mine - just not like my Mom who when she crosses, the leg that crosses over actually touches the floor. I am nowhere near that! Good luck :)
    @joleneee421 - good NSV! I just hope to look ok(ish) in my one piece when we go to Positano in June. Luckily it is a town filled with numerous steps - so hopefully I will walk off all the pizza, pasta and wine ;)
    @Timby1 - good luck! Lots of great activities there.
    @anaoliver63 - good luck :)

    I will become a member of the 1000 lb club this year.

    @chokeslam512 that was one of mine as well and I made it last year. Now I've dropped weight and hoping to still be in the 1000# club at 175-180. I was about 192 when I did it in December.

    @McCloud33 - I am currently at a 925 total at 179 BW. I figure if I can get to 1K without going over 185, that will be a huge milestone. That goal keeps my training focus. Good luck on your progress!

    For me right now it's to drop at least one size. I've been on diets in the past that never lasted long. I think I always became discouraged seeing no results. So now that I've stuck on MFP for almost 6 weeks and dropped 12 lbs (highest weight I've ever lost)...I think going down a size would be the most rewarding experience. Definitely motivated to reach that first NSV goal!!!

    @chokeslam512 I was at 985 after my first round of stronglifts at a BW of 185. When I finally broke it at 192 it was 1055lbs. Good luck!

    -First goal is to fit into a pair of jeans that were big on me 2 years ago. They won't even go past my thighs now. I'm not even going to weigh myself until they fit comfortably.

    - To wear shorts. I could wear them now, sure. There's no law that says someone that's fat can't wear them. But I know I wouldn't be comfortable. Back at my lowest weight in the past 5 year (about 80kg) I wasn't comfortable wearing them let alone now (Around 122kg when I started ugh not sure what I am now. Probably around 115-ish I think)

    - To go visit my hometown for the first time in 3 years (which would be like the world's most unpleasant high school reunion if I went now) and to look fecking fantastic.

    - To be able to run. I was skinny back in high school but I've never been fit. I'm also a smoker which makes physical activity even harder. Now I'm fat it just seems impossible the idea of running. But that's going to change. I'm fitter now then I was back at 80kg and slowly but surely I'm going to build up to running. The first km I run will be a bloody momentous achievement.

    Dang @McCloud33 - Mirin' big time. I couldn't break 2 plates on squat on SL. I switched to a push/pull 4 day split for a while then started Jonnie Candito's periodized program and am starting my third round this afternoon.

    1) To be able to wear any dress I want to my son's wedding.
    2) To be the "fun" Grandma that will run and play and keep up.

    @chokeslam512 luckily I have a pretty strong lower body (I'll give 20+ years of soccer credit for that), so my squat and deadlift were both up at 405#. My upper body on the other hand was comparatively weak at 245#. I just really want to be able to do 225 for reps on the bench while keeping the BW around 175lbs.

    Originally it was to be able to do a full pullup, but I tried the other day and I can almost already do one, so I think I'm going to hit that goal well before I get to a weight I'm satisfied with. So, I think I will be adjusting it to 10 consecutive pullups. That will take a while. :)

    I would love to be able to get any boot I wanted zipped up my calf. I would like to be a single digit size, and be around a size 6. I would like to be able to carry my children as they grow to bed with no problems (ok so my boys are both 70lbs and I can do it, but they are just gonna get bigger). I would like to not FEEL like a chunky monkey, even though I have made great progress and just today put on a pair of jeans that are 7/8's (though are a bit tight) that I could not wear at all before.

    To make other women feel homocidal, and then inevitably defeat them in battle and bathe in mixture of milk and their blood as a treat.


    I'm just kidding. To make Lee Pace fall in love with me.

    @Jenninscotland - [Waving arms over head] Still alive here! ha ha ha! I wish 'dying' would apply to the fat :)
    Completed C25k Week 4 yesterday. Dreading Week 5.
    I started off on a rubberized walking track. When sandstorms hit or if it is too hot - the treadmill it is.

    Mine is to break 1:30 in the sprint triathlon that I do each year. Unfortunately I can't participate in it this year due to a wedding.
    The ever elusive pull up is my other. Just one unassisted pull up. If I would lose more weight maybe I could get there easier.

    I am always looking for new ones to add, the NSV seem to keep me more motivated that the stupid scale!
