    - keep up with my exercise
    - increase my water intake
    - increase my veggies and fruit intake

      Not sure if I ever had a butt for my pants to rest on, but if I did, I'd like to find it...since bring my blood pressure down to normal and losing 65+lb, my only goal is simply to stop having to pull my pants up every 2 minutes.

      I belong to a medical weight management program and we need to set goals that are called SMART goals which are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Results-focused and time bound i.e., I want to do my cardio aerobic routine (Walk Away the Pounds - 2 Mile walk) every other day upon getting up in the morning. My others for this period are to drink at least 8-8 oz glasses of water per day and to achieve my 10K steps every day with at least 30 minutes active rate.

      Lose another 5 LBs in body weight and 2% BFI. Continue the 5x5 program and successfully drop body fat while gaining muscle. It is entirely possible.

      My goal is just to start losing consistently again -- I did really well for a long time, then screwed it all up. I'd like to (re-)lose ~70 pounds.

      My goal at first was to get into a healthy BMI range. I made that! Then it was to lose 20 lbs. I decided recently to change that to 25 lbs.

      I also had a goal to find some fun exercise for at least twice a week. That goal has been met,too.

      My goal is to look better, be healthy and be in shape so I can ride, hike and run without my fitness holding me back. In other words, I want to be fit enough spend all day riding my bike or hiking in the mountains. Epic rides and Hikes! That's my goal!

      I don't care about my weight.

      To travel the world and visit as many countries as possible, while maintaining good health and functional fitness.

      Cheers, h.

      Be healthy!

      Feel good.
      Look good.
      Tone up.
      Run a 5K, if my knees can take running when I'm down to 140. They sure couldn't at 180!

      First goal is to reach 10% BF. After that I plan to get swole.

      My goal is to lose another 15-20 lbs. I have been at a stand still for a few months. I need to choose better foods to eat sometimes. To learn to cook some healthier meals. Already doing this some. Continue to exercise and hopefully find something active that I will enjoy doing. Loose my stomach. Feel good about how I look and feel. Eventually maintain and continue exercise for health.

      This ^^ :mrgreen: I've already been to 14 countries, and would love to double that at least.

      I'd also like to cycle in all those new-to-me countries.

      But meanwhile ... hopefully in the next 6 months or so ...

      -- lose 3 more kg
      -- cycle up Mt Wellington
      -- cycle a 200 km randonnee

      If you're under 30, you may be able to get work on a Working Holiday visa. That option disappears once you turn 30.

      - Get to Onederland as my first short-term weight goal (almost there!)
      - Successfully finish PT for my Achilles tendon (halfway through, huge improvement)
      - Ride the exercise bike/walk treadmill for at least 30 minutes without aggravating my Achilles, my artificial hip, or my CFS
      - Progress to an actual outdoor bike ride/walk on rail trail
      - Steadily increase strength and endurance as I move toward a healthy weight

      -Be skinny for my exotic vacation in the spring!!!
      On vacation this year I was by far the fattest person, female or male, young or old, on the entire beach. I never want that heartbreaking and humiliating experience again.

      -Lose at the very least, 60lbs
      -Get into shape for my new laborer job
      -Get into my size 5 wardrobe
      -Never, ever go back to my old eating habits!

      Lose another 3.9kg (8.5 lbs) by the end of the year. At that point I will have lost 50% of my starting weight.

      I'm aiming to eventually get back to 70kgs (I haven't weighed that little in five years), reassess, then if desirable go down to 65kg. The reassessment is because I thought I was really fat when I weighed 70kg last time, and clearly my thinking was a little skewed.

      I've just tipped down under 100kg for the first time in a long time, so I've still got quite a way to go. Not giving up, though. If I want to keep skating for as long as possible, I need to make life as easy for my knees and hips as I can.

      That would be such an amazing experience! :) I might look into it

      You can do it!! Keep motivated and be determined :)

      Definitely! Every time I go to practice I get an extra dose of determination. "Imagine how much easier this will be when you're lighter and stronger", I tell myself. I'm sure my knees will appreciate me not trying to haul 100+kg of butt into the air and land it again too!
