1. Run a 5K with my teenage son (and actually run the whole thing)
2. Be able to say that i hit my goal and kept it off for a year
3. Put on a bikini and a smile - in public! *GASP*

Interesting topic.

My long term goals are these:

1. Live long enough to see my grandchildren married and with children of their own - at least another 25 years or so.
2. Have enough good health and energy to keep working at what I love until I drop.
3. Be around to celebrate my 60th wedding anniversary with my lovely bride - and in good enough shape to dance the night away.

My shorter term three things:

1. Comfortably wear "square" jeans - 34 X 34; I wore them years ago.
2. Run without knee and ankle pain
3. Wear suspenders with my suits because I like the way they look and feel rather than because I have to to keep my pants up.

Hi,
I want to:
(1) reach my goal weight sooner rather than later;
(2) maintain my weight at my goal once I get there;
(3) Have the confidence from knowing I took on and achieved a huge challenge.
(3.5) Not hate shopping so much.

I love love love this post!!! I had such a sad day yesterday. I am single have been divorced for 4 years) and haven't really dated since. The year after our divorce I was put on an experimental medication and gained 60 lbs. I have been off the meds for a year, but unable to lose the weight until IP! With that, here are my 3...

1. Feel like I fit in again
2. Feel cute...be able to wear my sz 4 & 6 that are still in my closet
3. Best for last...BE HEALTHY...for the first time in 3+ years!!!

I love it. My husband is the same way Sandra. He works out and plays soccer 3 x a week. I want to laugh at him when he says I look great - really? Nice lie, but I know I don't.



Here are mine:
1) Be able to wear a sleeveless little black dress with C.F.M. to match.
2) I want Miss Me jeans... and maybe a pair of the ridiculously expensive ones from the Buckle that make your butt look like a toned up 18yo.
3) I want to be able to run and play with my kids... and keep up with them.

So, how did the wedding go. If I missed your saying earlier, I apologize.

1. To look good in a swimsuit and shorts when I take my kids to the pool or when we go out and about.

2. I want to be healthy role model for my kids. DH is on high bp meds, high cholestrol meds, etc...most of his family is overweight/obese. I want my kids to have a healthy role model so that they are healthy adults!!

3. I want my foot pain to go away (and it does the more I exercise!).

~Look at myself naked in the mirror every morning (without grabbing my belly flab) and being able to say 'Yeah, you right!"
~Have a flat, muscular and toned abdomen. Even though I had a c-section 24 years ago, I do believe it's still possible. I will wear that bikini once again.
~Never have a negative body image issue ever again. Be accepting of compliments and understand that people are truly sincere with their words.

1. Wear a bathing suit (never worn one before)
2. Go to a water park (never been to one for fear of wearing bathing suit)
3. Run a half-marathon and one day a marathon

I love this thread!! It helped me put this whole plan into perspective...

I love this thread!

I want to be able to hike all I want and feel my muscles growing and getting stronger.

I want to get my health totally back, to where I am not dealing with chronic fatigue (it hasn't happened yet, despite the weight loss, but there's always hope...).

I want to perform at a dulcimer festival this summer and feel quite svelte doing it! I already have the dress purchased for it, though it now needs to be taken in alot.

Great thread..
1. Would love to tuck in my shirt and wear a cute little belt.
2. Be able to do stenuous things without getting winded in 5 minutes.
3. Feel confident in how I look and stop making excuses why I cant go somewhere because I am embarassed about my appearance.

1. Bend my knee to my chest so my chin touches my knee
2. See family and friends without having to see "that look" in their faces.
3. See my shape again

1. To have my husband think I am the sexiest thing on the planet
2. To buy regular clothes
3. To not have my inlaws look down on my cause I am fat. They are all thin, although all of their grands sons have married "big" women!
