My main goals are to hopefully reach my goal weight, and start weight training.

My main goal is to reach a healthy BMI. All of those wonderful side effects, like increased strength and endurance, more muscle definition and easier clothes shopping, are good gravy.
Goals are good focal points to build training around, but they're nothing without the work. Here's to a productive 2020. Hoping to see you on the other side healthier than ever!7 -
Why not start weight training now? Believe me it's awesome and can help you retain muscle as you lose to shape your body and get stronger.
My goal is to get my pre-pregnancy body and strength back and more

1. To be able to do pushups on my toes instead of knees, consistently
2. To be able to run 1 mile without stopping8 -
After spending nearly the entire 2019 rehabbing a severe thoracic injury, just getting slowly back into competitive indoor rowing form. Hoping to get back up to over 250K meters a month and back into heavier lifting (not real heavy as my right knee can't take heavy barbell work). Got some nifty gifts for X-mas to help me with those things.5

I have a lot of seemingly lofty goals that I want to start reaching for and even if I don't necessarily meet all of them perfectly, I will be happy with being closer to achieving them. My major goal of the year? 75 pounds down. I lost 55 last year and I slacked off for the last 3-4 months of the year. I also have a lot of strength training I want to work on because I also want to be able to do at least 10 pull ups and 50 push ups.
It's a lot of work starting from 0 again, but I'm worth the effort.4 -
Run a 3k with my kids7

Continue to improve core strength to help relieve back pain, drop 5% BF, improve my lifts by 10%.3

Last year my goal was to complete a 12 week weightlifting program and I loved it so I kept going. This year my goal is to log 300 hours of exercise. I was motivated by the 24 hours of exercise a month challenge on these boards so I am going to continue and aim for 25 hours a month.
I'd like to be able to progress to one armed pushups and 10 pull ups. Not sure how to set lifting goals yet, but handling my own body weight seems achievable so I will stick with these for now. I need to find a pull up bar somewhere so I can practice, I haven't tried since 7th grade!
Had to remind myself of the SMART acronym for goal setting:
Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Relevant
Time-based3 -

Oh? I’ve been under the impression that I need to lose the fat first before building muscle?0 -

Lifting will help preserve muscle and you might even build some depending on where you are starting out. Provided you are physically able I definitely recommend starting now! Once you get closer to goal then you can think about recomp or other methods to build more significant muscle depending on your goals5 -

Agreed Sardelsa. It is definitely harder to build muscle when loosing weight but not impossible. I started my weight training about halfway through my weightloss journey. Still grateful that I did. I did build some muscle, but even more it helped me to feel good about a changing body.
And with statistics n=1 (so totally not reliable) I think it helped the reduction of flabby skin. I do have some around the stomach area, but it is so minor that I call it my battle scar

1.My first half marathon is January 25th. I just want to finish, no time goals.
2. Running goals for 2020 is to hit 1000 miles for the year which averages around 20 miles per week. Definitely doable.
3. Run a second half maybe in the spring and beat my first time
4. Shed these last 5 pounds and get my maintenance range down to 128-133. Sitting at 133.
Happy 2020 !!3 -
