Goal setting for fun and being accountable

Just putting this out there to hold myself accountable.
I have three goals for the upcoming year:
1. SV goal: To hit GW by my birthday in mid September. I have about another 40 pounds to go, and do plan on scaling back to a .5 lb weekly loss for the last 20. I'm not sure it's realistic, but I've lost just over 40 lbs in the last 6 months, and figure 10 months ought to be enough time for me to do the rest.
2. NSV goal: I want to do a pull up and run a 10K without walking. I've run a 10K in the past, but walked half of it, and I have never, ever done a pull up.
3. Fun goal: I want to go skydiving! I am under the max weigh limit now, but figure by summer I should be way under the limit. Enough to not be appalled by seeing pictures of myself mid jump, anyway.
So what are your goals, SV and NSV? Anything you plan on doing that your weight or health met have restricted you from in the past?

Climb a rope! That's another thing I have never successfully done. That, and rock climbing. Alright, those are going on the list!0 -
@mamarundrc Wow, I just looked up Shale Hell to see what it is. Just wow. I don't know how anyone is able to do that for 3 hours much less 24!!?!

What are you thinking about for your 3 mudruns? I am doing my first Spartan Beast this year in Jersey. I am going for my first Trifecta. I am not sure where you are located but if you are into obstacle course racing and can get to Vermont you should check out Shale Hill Adventure. The course is 6.4 ish with close to 70 obstacles. Amazing experience if you are an obstacle/mud run enthusiast.0 -
I wish but I'm out in AZ. I'll be doing at least one Spartan in feb (sprint) and I'm looking at a super in NM but they haven't set a date yet. If I can talk a friend into joining me I'll do a Beast in Texas but I'm not sure that will happen so there probably won't be a trifecta this year.0

Hello everyone! Love this holding each other accountable idea! I want to do the down and dirty mud run again... I ended up not going to it this year even though I paid because I was too embarrassed! Total low point. Also want to be able to go to the beach and feel okay. But my main and true goal is to not give up. And developing some patience.1

SV: Reach my goal weight by my birthday in mid July
NSV: Be willing to have my picture taken
Fun goal: Be less self-conscious and have more fun everyday!1 -

Well it looks like a group from work is getting together to do a Tough Mudder at the end of April. Anyone in the Phoenix area is welcome to join in, I can send you the group name if interested.
@mamarundrc - Any training recommendations? I've done mud runs in the past but not a 10 miler.1 -

a lot of my weightloss goals are because I want to up my copay game! What is costume?0 -
@juliaheggen Well my nerd side is going to really stand out but I've got two that I will be doing. I will have a war wizard for the Sword of Truth series and I will be doing a modified Tardis. I am getting a Tardis kilt so I'm going with a Scottish "Bad Wolf" possession kind of thing, should be fun.

I do an "idiot's lantern" Rose. I have done gender bend link. Karen Gillan and Arthur Duval are coming to our Con in May so I am thinking something Amy Pond. I want to do an anime character from a video game but it's going to be a goal for next year!

My NSV are to be at 165 for my families trip to Hawaii at the end of August, wear a pair of heels for the first time since I broke my back, ride my stationary bike for 90 mins, and reach my target weight by New Years.0

SV, NSV? what do the mean?0

Scale Value - so basically your goal weight
Non-Scale Value - little victories along the way that help push and drive you to go further (lifting more, running further/faster, new notch on the belt, etc)0 -

SV: 160lbs by 9/1/16 I have a festival retreat I'm working and want to feel my best!

Hello, new here. I've been on this site since November, but have kept quiet.
My SV-I have about 15 extra lbs to lose. My goal is to lose it by Sept. I have a fairly active job, and if i restrict my calories too low and lose to fast, I'm starving all the time.
NSV--to get control over my eating (not using food for emotional reasons)
to stick to my food budget instead of getting takeout from the deli
run/lift 3-4 days/week
yoga 1-2 days/week1 -
Short term goal here..

I've lost 10 pounds so far. I'd like to lose another 10 by by the time I go to Cambodia with my partner in mid December. I'd like to be able to hike for 4 hours to do the Mt Butik trek in Bali in December as well, on a solo trip. I want to wear some of my cuter dresses and skirts in January, which is also my birthday month. I'll be turning 39. It's my year to be get fit for forty!0

NSV- feel confident in a swimsuit0 -
Scale goal- 210 lb by 12/31 (262 lb today)

1. SV : To lose 75 lbs, then decided what my "ultimate" goal should be
2. NSV : Become more flexible
3. Fun Goal : I went to the local Ren Faire with my boyrfiend's friend while he was at work before COVID happened and had the most amazing time, seriously it is glorious, campy fun with amazing food and live shows. I'm definitely going in costume when it reopens.0
