    I never really thought of goals for next year. I have not even thought of a goal at all. Just kinda starting out in this and taking it one step at a time. I just realized that it scares me to death to consider a 1 year goal because I am too afraid that I wont make it. How about this for now. I want to HAVE to buy a new bathing suit this summer because the old one falls off when I wear it.

    Your goals dont have to be year long, but it certainly helps to have realistic goals. I definately recommend small goals at first. I remember wanting to be able to do 20kg dumbell presses or unassisted pull ups. Now my plans are bigger!

    Lots of great goals everyone! Good luck :)

    Continue with my clean eating and cal logging. Once I reach my goal weight (190) I’ll get back to lifting heavy and often. Basically get ripped or die trying ...

    I am writing in this, so when I get a chance to figure out what I truly want to conquer next year and be able to put it specifically down.

    My birthday is in January. I turn 29 this upcoming January. I REFUSE to be fat at 30! I have never really been thin. I want to make it there before I hit 30. I want to lose 45 (ish) lbs. I want to be between 150-160. Maybe lower if my body will let me. I just want to be healthy and feel pretty for one solid chunk of time in my life.

    My goals are to lower my body fat %, run a few 5ks and a half marathon, and to generally kick *kitten* with whatever I decide to tackle.

    My goal is to drop another 50 pounds next year. Doesn't sound like much, but I can be sure I'l keep it off at that pace.

    I also will learn how to stop listening to the negative voices in my head that keep telling me that I'm not worth real love, success, happiness ... and that learning may involve giving someone an ultimatum.

    I like this :)
    Next year my goals are (so far):
    Run my 3rd marathon, (looking for sub 4:15) in May.
    Do an Olympic Distance triathlon in Sept. with a few sprints before that.
    Finish a 5k in less than 24 minutes
    Tone up everything more, see more definition in my arms and maybe possibly someday in my stomach?? :happy: I've had 5 kids so we'll see how this one goes...
