    I've already hit a few goals and continually set new ones as I go.

    So currently, get my run route down to 39 minutes (this is arbitrary, I only just started running so have no idea if I'm aiming too high!) along with getting my exercise induced anxiety under more control while running.

    Be able to do full, chest to the floor, push ups. I can half push ups fully and full push ups sort of half way, so I'd like to bridge the gap!

    Lose another 2 stone (28lbs). Get my waist to 27/28 inches because then I can buy all of the vintage everything.

    Start and finish my degree having had to quit due to poor mental ill health a couple of years ago. I start back in a few weeks! Oh and continue with my fitness while at uni, it's a tall order due to immense fatigue I deal with every day as it is but I'm going to give it a damn good try.

    My goals are in this order:

    1) Get to 175lb (~23lb to go)
    2) Squat 265lb set of 5 (currently at 230lb), bench 175lb set of 5 (currently at 155lb), deadlift 350lb set of 5 (currently at 185lb, it is behind my squat due to having poor form compared to squats but is quickly catching up).
    3) Do 20 chin/pull ups
    4) Complete C25k
    5) Participate in a Tough Mudder or Spartan Race by late summer 2016.
    6) Increase Flexibility

    I'm currently working on 1, 2, and 6 and indirectly working on 3 (since I've lost weight and done other weight lifting I can now do 2 chin or pull ups) and 4 (I play ultimate every week, which has helped with running).

    I intend to tackle #3 soon and then do #4 in the spring.

    Love all the weight lifting goals! Maybe someday I'll get a raise and be able to justify rejoining the gym! I have another goal to share and thats to be able to stick to my healthy choices even when out with friends or cooking my fiance an unhealthy meal! I need to learn to not let the people around me affect my life choices

    Lose 10ish more pounds (I've lost 40). Continue to eat a healthy vegan diet. Walk 1 hour most days and do yoga most days. I don't have a timeline for my last ten. I'm trying to be patient :)

    My current goal is to get to 160. After that I plan to reevaluate my goals and go from there. I have been constantly changing my weight loss goal so at this point I figure it would be best to pick 160 and worry about the end goal once I get closer to it.

    I'd like to lose 20 pounds of fat, then build up 15 pounds of lean muscle. Ideal weight goal for me is 180 for a 5'9 24 year old male! I'd also like to develop the big 3 lifts for myself. 225 for bench, 300 squat, and 225 deadlift.

    My goals are basic
    1. Lose 5 kg's
    2. Lose another 5kgs
    3. Lose 5 more kg's
    4. 5 kg's again
    5. Lose 5 kg's more to be in the health range.
    25 kg's more to lose. I do have a time frame, but I want to focus on just 5 kg's st a time. That's about 11 lbs at each goal.
    I am down 7 kg's (15 lb's) 3 more kg's until my next goal!! I think I will treat my self to a new drink bottle! Or new gym pants!

    I usually don't do well with just having one end goal, it ends up feeling far away and I stress out about it. In the last (almost) 14 weeks i've set little tiny goals to aim for. My first was 199 by july 4th just because it fell at a good time to hit that number (hit that day at 197.4, wee!) After hitting that, I set loose goals of hitting -8lbs every 5 weeks. My next is to hit 182 by 9/12. The only real long term goal I've had is to be as healthy as I can be before we start trying to have some kiddos at the end of this year. I'm currently 11lbs from my healthy range, so It's super do-able.

    -To decrease body fat percentage
    -To increase LBM
    -To increase endurance during cardio and weightlifting
    -To increase the weights I lift.
    -To run (I haven't been a good runner since I was a pre-teen. I'm hoping to tackle c25k.
    -To increase my bike rides from 12 miles to 20 mile, or even more.
    -Get better at Military-style push ups.
    -To get my husband to work out with me.
    -To be bad *kitten*. :wink:

    My main goal is lose weight to help ease my osteoarthritis and potential fibromyalgia (doctor's still monitoring things). I'm hoping to get to the point I don't need medication anymore.

    Side goals are maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reaching my suggested BMI and weight, and looking great in my wedding dress. I'd also really love to go back to my JROTC instructor and tell him I'm running the obstacle course straight through. I never could complete it while I was in high school.

    My goal in January was to get down to 125. This week, I got down to 125.8. Close enough. I also wanted to become more active. Done. Now cycling and hiking at least 10 hrs/week. Now my next goal is to get me some abs. I have no idea how long it will take but I know I need to lose some extra belly fat. So my short term goal is 120 by end of Sept and then give myself 3 months to see proper abs by end of Dec.

    Get down to 165
    Get a rounder butt

    I want to ultimately get in great shape because we want to try for a baby next year.

    Also, being out of my comfort weight range makes me extremely uncomfortable.
