Do you have any non scale goals you'd like to achieve?

Mine is A pull up! I'm not shooting too high! Just one would be great! I'd like to achieve it by the end of the year but it may take longer. I've never in my life been able to accomplish this task and it has been a goal of mine all year.

    To be able to put on anything in my closet without having to take it right back off because it's to tight.

    Pick one item that you absolutely adore and hang it where you can see it daily. Try it on every so often and the day that it fits, it'll be one of the best motivators to keep going! I guarantee it!

    I did this with a dress I had bought late fall a few years ago and was never able to wear it come summer or for the 2 summers after that. I FINALLY took the tags off of it this summer and it was the most incredible feeling!

    Hard work and dedication will get you there! ;) You could do the same thing if you have an old pair laying about. Sit them out! Have a visual reminder of why you're doing this. Something to keep you moving forward!

    I have had the same wardrobe since high school and nothing fits anymore :/ and shopping is just depressing nowadays. My motivation is to be able to wear my old clothes again! My goal is to fit into my old shorts (my old jeans are size 4, I think that's being a little TOO optimistic) and for the jeans I'm wearing now to fall off me! They're 12s I think and I'm getting closer!

    Start small! Then when you reach that, you'll get a boost to really push forward to the next one! Before you know it, you'll be further than you could've ever imagined!

    Starting small works!!
    My heaviest weight was 225 at a size 18-20, and I shot for a size 12.
    Achieved that, now I'm a 10 and looking to be a 6! It makes it a lot less intimidating, to me, anyway. :)

    I know that it sounds silly, but for the looooongest time I have wanted a standard towel to fit around me. I have noticed that it's getting closer to fitting, but I've still got more inches to lose before it's a good fit.

    Yes! That's exactly what it does! Great job! :)

    Wow - everyone else has great goals! Mine seems so silly, but here it is: I want my lower back to quit aching from having to support all the excess belly fat/flab when I stand for while. lol

    That's not silly at all. That's a great goal! I hope it happens for you soon because when it does, you'll feel fantastic! Best wishes!

    That's an awesome goal! I should do that one too.

    I have a pair of jeans from grade 7 that I want to fit into again. I bought them at value village, they have no size in them.

    There's a hike where I live that I walk and jog but the initial hill is steep and I'd love to be able to jog up that part! I also have a pair of paints that would be awesome to fit into this winter!

    I jog a mile and a half each morning before work. I would like to shave off 4 minutes from my time by the end of the year.

    Two goals: finally hit a 10 min mile and have my "these are way to tight but they button and look cute so I'm wearing them with this baggy shirt" jeans to be moved to my "these jeans need a belt" pile

    So many great goals! I'm glad you all have other focuses and not JUST the number on the scale. It'll help!

    Update to mine: as a short term, non-scale goal, I'd like to get at least 2 (preferably more) morning workouts in next week!
