Planing on going to Bali and Taiwan in the early spring and would like to healthy and fit so that I can do some white water rafting. You have to climb down 200 stairs to the river and backup 200 stairs from the river. The stairs are those deep ones. Going down is not the problem but climbing back up I find is a challenge. I did it about 4 years ago but I was younger then.

I believe in me and ability to achieve my goal.

These were so fun to read, and I'm dying to know what the story is behind "Crowd pushups at a Notre Dame football game. :D"

My bucket list includes a half marathon - dunno if I even want to get all the way to a marathon 'cause then I'll have to figure out how to eat while running.

I want to skydive.

I want to eat a 100 mile diet (in Massachusetts) for one full year.

Eradicate the batwings would be nice, too, but it appears that no amount of muscle under that flabby sag is going to make it go away.

My goal is to Hike the Appalachian Trail in sections or as a thru walker in 2014. Each day when I walk (except for Sundays), I think about all the sites to see, people to meet, fauna & flora. When I walk I try to take in the beauty around me & thank Jesus & God for starting me out healthy. I'm hoping to keep what He has given me healthy. Spark People has really helped with motivation, inspiration & success stories. But most of all, having the daily meal plans all figured out is a DREAM!!

No one ever said, "Life was fair or easy." Work hard

Once I'm fit I would like to get into:
Lindy hop swing dance (some might think this is totally dorky, and maybe it is, but it just looks like so much fun!)
Aikido (who *doesn't* want to be able to kick butt?)
Jiu jitsu (same as Aikido answer)
Krav Maga (same as Aikido answer)
Rock Climbing (No mountains in sight so rocks it is)
Trail Biking (the rough kind-not the gentle park kind)
Swimming (I've learned how to swim but I do the flailing thing, too--plus need special prescription goggles so I can see underwater-not being able to see freaks me out)

Edit: spelling error--that stuff drives me nuts so I have to correct it when I see it.

"I worked my way up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty."
~Groucho Marx

Be as smart as you can, but remember that it is always better to be wise than to be smart.
~Alan Alda

In order to learn a person must be humble enough to believe they haven't learned all there is to know, yet confident enough to believe they also have the capacity to learn that which they do not presently know.

Wow. So much to choose from.


the things that bother me most are the ones I want to change
Prevent full blown diabetes
Be able to ride in an airplane and buckle the seatbelt.
Be a good role model for my children so they do not wind up heavy and unhealthy.

I have to think about this a little more and post a few Bucket List goals I have, but here's the big one:

Go to the amusement park with all my kids and ride every ride without worrying that the seatbelt might not fit!!

Slow & Steady wins the race, Slow & Steady wins the race, Slow & Steady wins the race.....

This is a great question and so much more fun to ponder than bland ol' goals ;)

1. Meet Army fitness requirements for my age and height/weight
2. Take a kickboxing class and make it through the whole class without stopping
3. Avoid diabetes
4. Stay abstinent from binge eating for at least a year
5. Wear a really sexy outfit without feeling self-conscious

I'd like to do a mud run with a lot of crazy obstacles. In a neon pink outfit!

Stats: Female, 5'4", 28 years old.

Goal: From 152 (07/24/2011) to 125 by December, 2011. DONE! December 4th weighed in at 124. In 2012 I've been maintaining around 122, which is a thirty pound loss. My BMI has gone from 26.1 to 20.9 since following the Spark plan!

A few things:

-I've been good at losing the weight in the past (without fad diets and with exercise), but I'm going to maintain it this time and actually where I should be weight/fitness-wise.
-Take kick boxing classes.
-Perfect the push up (even at my thinnest and fittest, this has been a challenge).
-Disney half marathon.

I want to section-walk the Appalacian Trail. I may have to miss out on a segment or two, since I have a very bad knee and a couple bad ankles but if I can do the rest... YES!

Got rid of the ticker cuz my scale decided to flatter me unduly. I haven't re-gained, just got a better, honest, scale.

Just because you steam it, doesn't mean you can't add herbs and spices. (A gripe at those insipid restaurant "healthy choice" menu selections.)

I would like to run another marathon--this time working on time instead of just finishing. And maybe, just maybe I might try a triathlon.

I've also thought about the "marathon cruises" where you run at every port and when you're all finished you've done 26.2. That sounds like a fun and healthy way to cruise.

Lose all the weight and be at a healthy BMI and body weight for the first time in my life :)

Motivation Mantra: If you’re walking down a set of stairs and you slip on a stair, you get up and continue your walk down. You would never get up and then throw yourself down the rest of the stairs. If you've "fallen" lately, now's the time to get up, forgive yourself, and move on!

Lose the saggy, baggy belly fat.

Walk, instead of drive, to the local fruit stand (and be able to carry my purchases home).

Make all my own salad dressings.

Get back to cooking with dried (instead of salty canned) beans.

Be able to throw away or donate everything in my closet that's over size 12--with confidence that I will never, ever be that big again.

I'm a little bit of a fashion junkie, so I think the vanity in me would say--when I look good, I'll wear the clothes I love and have longed to wear (including a bikini--Yikes!)
But the desire to be more healthy is there for me too -- and that part of myself wants to run a 5K, and maybe the Disney 1/2 Marathon. And mostly, I want to set a good example for my kids who already have a strong love of junk food.

Good topic!
1. Reconnect with old friends. I haven't because I don't want them seeing me at this weight.
2. Start dating again. I don't want to until I feel better about me, inside and out.
3. See muscle tone in places that currently jiggle.
4. Go to the gym even on days that I don't have a partner to go with.
5. Wear the bikini I bought in Paris a few years ago, thinking I would quickly lose the weight needed to make it look good... and actually look good in it.
6. Make good food choices without first lingering over the wrong ones.

This is really a good idea. I've never thought about this because I never thought I'd be there.

1. I would have a photo shoot with my family. I have avoided the camera for 15 years.
2. I would walk with my head held high into one of those stores where the clerks look at me like I don't belong and buy everything I want.
3. I would take a trip somewhere great where walking is a must and be able to enjoy it.
4. Go golfing with my husband and walk the course with him.
5. I would never let myself, self destroy me again.
