What and where do you want to be 1 year from today?
I would like to be 75 to 100 lbs. lighter and finished with my novel on time travel in the old west. I would like to have visited Galvaston Texas one more time and this time research it's hurricane history. I would also like to have won the mega millions lottery, but 2 out of three aint bad.
In 1 year I want to weigh 140 pounds and be in college finishing what I started. That's about it. Otherwise I just want to be happy.
100lbs smaller would be a huge accomplishment. But while we are wishing... One hundred pounds wouldn't be enough weight to let me run again (I don't think) but I could surely walk in next year's 10k turkey trot, with the idea of building up to doing a full marathon in Dec 2011. :)
I want to take an art class. We missed enrollment by a few days and have to wait for the summer term.
I'd love to take a couple's massage class.
In a old year I'd like to be one year older, one hundred pounds lighter, and have one more year of working at my job.
One year from today, I would not only like to be approximately 100 pounds lighter, but gainfully employed doing something I actually enjoy. I would like one year from today genuinely reflect progress towards the ultimate goal of being financially, emotionally and spiritually healthy enough to have my youngest child return home to live with me. (Providing he wants to) The reasons he is not currently living with me are long and complicated, but it has always been my plan to have him return. Part of the reasons driving my weight loss have nothing to do with weight and everything to do with reminding me that I am a fully competent adult who can and will beat the depression/anxiety issues enough to get a hold of all the important areas of my life. I can set goals, stay focused, work hard and achieve them! What I want in life is possible and I will get there!
Thanks for listening - that was way more than I thought this post was going to be about.

Shannon - It was also my choice for my baby to be with his grandmother. This was the hardest decision that I ever made in my life - no mother wants to have to admit that they are not what is best for their children. At the time (6 years ago now) all 4 of my kids went to live somewhere else. My two oldest have since returned to live with me, my daughter is still with her father and the youngest is still with his grandma. I see him every Tuesday and at least one weekend a month. He is in town, so I go to as many of his school functions, soccer games, etc that they remember to tell me about. Thank you for sharing.
Blessings,
Sunni
One year from now I want all my weight off and I want the scale to read 165...give or take a pound.
One year from now I want to be jogging a 5K on a daily basis.
One year from now I want my kids wanting to eat and exercise healthy just like Mom does (they are not overweight, but I can see bad habits starting if we don't do something).
I want to be 117 lbs thinner than when I started 2 mo ago. I want to have already run a 5K and be training for a 10K. I want to be off all blood pressure and cholesterol medication. I want my other meds reduced. I want to be working out with the skinny chicks and hard bodies at a regular gym. I want to be able to run, jump, ride, play etc. with my kids without getting tired. I want to be planning my hike of the entire Youghiogheny River Trail in one weekend (43 miles). I want to be a size 10 or smaller, I want, I want, I want.......................I want a lot and its all within my reach, as long as I don't quit.
Even more than these, I want to be the inspiration for other people having the same struggles I have/had. I want to give others hope they can do it too. I want to be able to say, "I did it and so can you!"
1 year from now I want to be at my goal weight of 145. I want to be able to go outside and run around with my two lil boys and not be winded or my knees hurting. I want my husband and boys to follow in my footsteps and start eating healthy. I also want to be pregnant with our third and last baby and get to wear cute materinty clothes. lol

*hugs* This is so me! Need company on that hiking trip? lol
One year later...
- Employed in one of my career fields for almost a year
- An active, loving/supportive Grandma
- 100 pounds lighter
- Able to sit in chairs and get up without taking chairs with me or breaking them
- Reduced or off meds (cholesterol, high blood pressure & diabetes)
- Planning a vacation reward
- Training for a 5K
- Starting my grandchild's college fund
- Still living in my dream home
I use to sign up for 5K walks, but always quit before end or barely made it to the end. I still get a lot of mailings about the different walks/runs, it would be awesome to complete one successfully next Spring & Summer 2011.
NEW PLEDGE: I can set goals, stay focused, work hard and achieve them! (Sunni, thanks & yes you & we can!!)
I want to be happy, I'd like to be 60 lbs lighter than I am today and at or around my goal weight of 140.
I want to be able to do all the balance postures in yoga without falling out. I want to be able to do standing-head-to-knee and not only be able to grab my foot but to actually kick out.
I want to be training for a 5k, active and healthy.
Absolutely amilea, I want company. And actually, I just realized that the 43 miles is only the north section. It is actually much longer to go the whole way. After the YRT, then on to the Great Allegheny Passage, then eventually the entire Appalachian Trail. I am going to need a hiking partner for that one, definitely. 
I should be at my goal weight by fall 2010, so for 1 year from today, I want to continue to be healthy and happy.
I will be going to the gym a max of 3 times a week, primarily for weightlifting. Ideally, I will have lost additional fat at replaced with more muscle.
I will be able to buy a shirt in a given size at *any* store and have it fit. Vanity sizing works both ways, and it's irritating.
ONE YR FROM NOW I PRAY TO GOD THAT I WILL BE FOCUSED STILL ON THIS PROGRAM AND DOWN QUITE A BIT FROM WHAT I AM NOW. I ALSO HOPE AND PRAY THAT ALL OUR DREAMS ARE REALIZED AND THAT THOSE WHOM WISH FOR THERE CHILDRENS RETURN GET WHAT THERE HEARTS DESIRE. HERES TO CONTINIED SUCCESSES GROUP WE WILL DO THIS!!!

Double post and all caps. All we need is a bigger wall of text not broken in to paragraphs and we'll have it all.
One year from now I want to be at my goal weight and very physically fit, with enough money for a gym membership (or an at-home elliptical) and a new wardrobe! I think the goal weight part at least is realistic. Only 50 lb to go, and I know it will be the hardest 50 but I think I can do it within the year. I was hoping to have it gone by the summer but considering my up-in-the-air professional life, that may be too much to ask. Also I'd like to have a good and permanent job, a nice boyfriend, a kitten or two, a new apartment...the list goes on!

Ohhh I like that one me too. I will be able to wear jeans purchased from the gap off the rack in a "normal" person size.
