Yes, but think how sweet it will be (no jello pun intended) when everything is toned and good and no extra see it wiggle see it jiggle going on. Now I have the jingle in my head. Oh my!

I love your comment about wanting to run a mile without stopping. This was something I thought I would never be able to do, but as of yesterday I can now manage 2.2km without stopping and i reckon if i pushed myself I could probably do 2.5km and my end goal will be 5km without stopping.

My other goal is to fit nicely into my little black dress. I tried it on this morning and it does fit but its too tight and the target is for it to fit nicely for Halloween.

Something I hadn't thought of, and actually pretty trivial, but...being able to wrap a normal bath towel around myself after a shower without that huge gap around my hips. A really good feeling when I realized I could!

Oh I love these! They make me focus on things that matter and forget the scale

• Having my back fat be so minimal that the roles do not show.
• single digit size between 9/6 depending on how my body sits.
• jogging outside without sounding like death!
• seeing the curve of my body and not just the bulges of body fat
• when I crave cardio and not just do it because it is required
• Start enjoying hiking and physically demanding activities
• participating in sports without feeling insecure about how my body moves

Hmmm those are the ones that came to mind.

[Destony]

Diamond great ones!!! I haven't hit single digits for clothing yet, but looking forward to it

Todays is to be able to run with my kids easily and without things hurting!

[Destony]

Seeing more definition in my legs and feeling the bottom of my rib cage

[KateB]

* To be able to walk up at least 6 flights of steps without becoming winded (I am up to 3 flights right now)

* To take Belly Dancing class (Something I have always wanted to do)

* To fit in the seats of any ride at any amusement park

*To wear clothes in the single digit sizes

* In May I will turn 50. I want to buy and becomfortable wearing a bikini in public. Not some little bitty string bikini. I am looking for something more age appropriate with some support....Think pin up model style bikini!

Good things to strive for!

Today I am thinking about the following:

• Being able to fit into my shoes without feeling stuffed in them.
• To be able to look at sugar laden items and say no thanks easily. Right now they are still a bit loud in the tempting department.
• To wear any shape of dress and have it not look like an upside down umbrella on my bottom half.
• To give my adult body a chance to return to what it was once.
• To not hurt because of the weight I carry and enjoy the things I once did easily and without pain.
• To enjoy the lady smiling back at me in the mirror for making this journey.

• being able to fit into roller coaster seats again
• being able to hike in the woods without wanting to die
• wearing a short skirt
• being a healthy-ish weight before I have a baby
• being a healthy-ish weight when I get married

I think overall, it's not so much about the weight anymore (even though that's a big part of it) as it is that I want to look at myself in the mirror and feel good about myself and the choices I make. How about y'all?

not bad !

Today's revelation: to not have to wear a bra with a 4 hook closure ever again!

[changling2015]

This is a great post!

The main goal for my weight loss is to get a breast reduction.

Other goals are:

- to fit comfortably in an airline seat
- to be able to run a 5k
- shopping in regular stores, not being relegated to online
- to heal my relationship with food, to beat this food addiction
- to get my blood sugar well within range
- to heal my body (including my brain and immune system)
- to like how I look in the mirror
- to feel better about myself
- to sleep better
- to have more energy
- to build muscle
- to exercise because I want to, not have to

[Squeaky]

Some great goals listed!

Mine are:
- To be able to buy knee high boots
- I want to, just once, wear a belly top! (I was a heavy child/teen so if I don't do it soon I might never will!!)
- Get my perfect hourglass ratio back
- to be able to sit on my boyfriends lap without squishing him
- Own a nice fitted jacket, without looking like I'm smuggling potatoes
- This one sounds silly, but I want to stop being the one "with a great personality"

[PurpleJ]

I've already achieved being able to fit into my work trousers - supplied for me and they didn't go near me so I had to buy some of my own as I was too ashamed to tell them.

Wearing smaller jeans.

Wearing a favourite coloured hoodie again - it didn't fit at the start of my journey.

Goals to come:

Fit into size 16 / 14 and ultimate a 10/12 (UK sizes)

Get a walking jacket that is off a peg of a nice shop not a mans one because it's all that fits.

Look in the mirror and not feel 'fat'.

Wear the size 14 wardrobe that is currently stored in bags under my bed. It become too big for me!

[Fatbloke]

Had some heart issues so would like to improve that with reduced weight

Also I'm a cheap old ******* so being able to fit my old clothes will save me some money
