How will you define success this new year? Clothes falling off? Number on a scale? Finishing a 5/10k?
I'm looking forward to the day when I go to put my old pants on, I button them, let go, and they fall right off! :)
Getting below 180 by the summer would be huge too!

    My goal for today is to re-commit myself to losing the last 10-15 pounds I want to lose (weight I had gained back after initially losing over 70 pounds). I decided to just enjoy myself through the holidays -- not such a good choice on my part. I didn't do much walking (except on a couple of days with exceptional weather), and have pretty much eaten anything I have wanted to and not done a great job of logging. I have a couple of days yet before my daughter heads back to college.....but then, it is back to much healthier eating and getting on my treadmill no matter what!

    I'm also 'toying' with the idea of entering a 5K and doing the Couch to 5K program. I'd have to do that on my treadmill, and I"m not sure if my knees and ankles can handle the pounding from running. I ended up with terrible shin splints from my treadmill shortly after buying it -- even so much as to have to have surgery on my right leg -- so don't want to do something like that again.

    Recommitment!!!! That is my goal for 2012!!!

    My goals are:

    Reach my goal weight by Dec 31 2012 (I'm giving myself a year so I can do it right)
    Run a half marathon (I'm working on a 10k at the moment)
    Learn what I need to do to maintain once I reach my goal.

    Mine is simple: to reach 17% body fat & finally see my six-pack abs that is long been hiding under layers of fat. I would appreciate it much if they will show up before March, the start of summer season here where I am.

    I want to beat my friend in a triathlon this May. I've never been a great runner (even though I did x-country for 2 years in high school) so it's going to be a lot of hard work.

    My goals:

    - Weight 98-100 lbs.
    - Keep the weight off/
    - Get toned after losing the weight (if I decide I don't wanna be bony and delicate.)
    - Be able to wear crop tops and skinny jeans without feeling self conscious about how big my thighs are, or the layer of fat on my stomach.
