    I want to be able to do a muscle-up on rings, and a handstand, and a backflip, and to vault over a low wall, but most of all I want to be able to do a quad jump on ice :)
    Wow! That's amazing!

    I do this every year. This year's challenge is to complete a 1.2 mile open water swim, last year was to swim a mile in a pool without stopping.

    The open water part of the swim scares me...it's in a little over 3 weeks

    Good luck! I'm sure you'll do great!

    I want to be able to do an obstacle course race :)

    Same here! I'm signed up for the Tough Mudder in VA next June and i'm working slowly towards that. First thing is the C25K and then I'll be hitting the weights at the gym.

    I have a lot of small goals - some are weight related but I have a lot of NSV to help push me along as well. I started writing them out last night and have listed some rewards (non-food related which is tough yo!)

    Today is 28 days of logging though so I'm feeling pretty good!

    Way to go! Congrats on Day 28! :)

    Amanda - we have the same goal. just met the size 8 - my biggest achievement would be to get these "sauce arms" skinny and in shape as well as lose 30 more pounds. Feeling great that I lost 16 so far!

    Hey congrats! I need to work on my arms too :-/

    I want to deadlift 375 lbs (specifically this Saturday at my competition :# )

    I want to do a muscle-up, too.

    Good luck this weekend!

    I want to feel good again. I don't have a number in mind - the scale doesn't matter. But I hate feeling fluffy.

    Same! I'd like to "jiggle" less lol

    I have signed up for a 5k in October and a half marathon in April (my birthday weekend actually) - I have 9 month of hard work ahead of me, but I want to get back into running like I used to.

    Good luck on the 5k! My bday is in April too! :)

    Two things! I want to fit into a dress I bought 3 months ago that was tight. I kept gaining more weight for three months more so I'm even more behind on that!

    Second I want to snowboard with my husband this winter without losing breath.

    I've never snowboarded but I love skiing! You got this!

    I want to be able to look in the mirror and not feel disgusted with what i see.

    This is my goal too. I hate how I look.

    Nice work, @enyagoboom !! Congratulations. I am in VA too, I'll have to check it out, but I am not sure I feel comfortable signing up yet >.<

    Run a marathon, then eventually the Dopey challenge at DisneyWorld which is a 5k, 10k, half, and full marathon over a 4 day weekend.

    Already up to a half, hoping for my first marathon next fall.

    I've got a list of things I want to do...
    In near future I want to

    get into a branded work shirt.

    get back into the clothes I could fit into just under 5 years ago. - have only shoe boxes in my wardrobe rather than boxes of once worn clothes.

    Be able to run a distance.

    Later on take up horse riding lessons without worrying about my weight.

    An even longer haul - take up swimming and get over my fear of being in a pool.
    Wear a bakini/costume with confidence (even as a child I couldn't do that).

    Have a appearance I'm happy with and be in the lowest and healthiest weight range I've ever been in.

    Plus prove all my doubters wrong.

    I want to feel good about what I see in the mirror. I want to be able to do inversions in yoga, which will require a great deal more strength in my core. I love yoga but am limited right now at it.

    The remaining fat on my thighs weighs the skin down, causing a "crease." One day I want to get out of the shower and just see legs, with no creases.

    I want to wear an AU size 12.
    I want to be able to buy a pretty swimsuit and wear it with confidence.
    I want to be able to do a cartwheel and attempt handstands.
    I want to reach a weight where I feel I could join a dance class and keep up with the movements.
    And I'd like to weigh less than my boyfriend so he can pick me up haha.

    Our town does an inflatable 5k (like a giant bouncy house obstacle course for ADULTS!) once a year and I want to be able to do the course and finish it!

    It just looks like so much fun!

    I did that last year!!! Yes, it is a blast! So much fun and because it's non competitive, there's no pressure. When I did my run there were two guys dressed in the Inflatable dinosaur costumes doing the run. Do it! I'm doing the next one in my town that's coming in March.

    I'm hoping as I lose weight the pain in my knee from an old sports injury will get better. I want to be able to pole dance again, it was the most fun sport I've done!
