New Goal

[ChicagoRose 650]

My birthday is in 17 weeks (March 13) and all I want for my birthday is to be OVERWEIGHT!! Here me out!! I am still obese for the next 20 lbs (which is a whole 'nother rant, f those dumb bmi charts) I need to lose and being overweight never looked like such a great goal. Can I loose 20 lbs in 17 weeks, I think yes, if I really stay on track through the Holidays. March will also be my 1 year Bandiversary.

As a reward my husband and I are going to run the Chicago Shamrock Shuffle 8K on March 30, 2014...whoo hoo!! It's all about setting goals, right?

Me today at 190 lbs...."Obese". at 5'4'' I need to weigh 170 to be "Overweight"

What are some of YOUR goals?? Maybe if we document them together and call make them more real!!

Oh totally doable. Any concerted effort should yield a 5 lb loss each month. You can do it!!!!

As for me, I just underwent Cosm. Surgery. I am 5 weeks postop which means I have a good idea of my bodies new shape/tone etc. I think I want to lose 5-10 more lbs. Can't really set a number because this is all new territory for me. But I think I could lose a few and would like to see my way to my ideal weight instead of focusing on numbers to get me there.

Have fun on your run

I know you will mkae it especially sinceyou will have to train for the 8k I guess my goal is to run a 5k. I have walked a few but would love to start running again and get 1 under my belt. I plan to train all winter and start looking for local 5ks in march when it is starting to warm up a little...wish me luck

I did my first 5K this fall with my family members to commemorate me having surgery. It was such a fun time and I was able to walk for 1/2 and jog for 1/2 in different intervals. I thought the 8K would be a realistic goal sine it's really only 2 more miles =)

Good Luck =)

That's an awesome goal!! And totally attainable!! My first 5k is going to be this spring....it's a personal NSV I'm trying to reach. But a weight goal for me is to be in "onederland" by February 15. My husband bought be tickets to see luke bryan and I want to be under 200 by then!! I'm 217 now, so I really think I can do it if I don't kill myself over the holidays!! Wish me luck!

You can for sure do it!! I hit Onederland about two months ago and it's a crazy amazing NSV. You can totally do the 5K by then. I used the 5K Runner app on my phone and the voice talks you through the training while you are listening to Pandora radio. I highly recommend it. And don't feel pressure to jog the whole thing, I did 1/2 and 1/2 and that was HUGE for me. It all counts =)
