In 2010 I achieved the major goal for my life...I lost a total of 254 pounds (over 3 years) and hit my goal weight of 155. Now I'm looking for a new challenge so I have begun training for my first 5K! And I may just go for a 1/2 marathon! I've never felt stronger or healthier in my life! A new pedometer would be a great treat and a useful tool!

I plan to continue on my path to health, fitness, wellness and good cheer! :)

I would like to tone up, lose 5 lbs., and eat a cleaner diet!

Lorene Russell 12-13-2010 @ 2:14PM

My goals are to work out every day at the same time instead of sporadically every few days. I'm actually planning on starting it now, but I need to light the fire under my bum first!

Brynn 12-13-2010 @ 2:50PM

My goal is to complete a half marathon!!

My 2011 fitness goals are to "get fit". This will involve using a personal trainer for one of the six visits that I will be making to my local YMCA every week. Along with this I will be modifing my eating habits but not going on a diet! I will follow many of the suggestions sent by That's Fit. I will be weighing myself once a month and expecting that as a byproduct of my fitness plan, i will also lose some weight. I currently weigh 318Lbs and have lost 25 lbs in the last 4 months.

My favorite ladies only gym closed in 2010, and I lost my momentum and regained the 15 pounds I worked so hard to lose. I am a breast cancer survivor, and in 2011 I am going to focus on getting healthy & fit again on my own.

Melissa Jones 12-13-2010 @ 2:26PM

I want to add more weight training to my fitness routine and add more muscle mass; less focus on calorie-watching.

Tracie 12-13-2010 @ 2:26PM

My goals for this upcoming year are to lose my final 10ish pounds after losing 65 since last Christmas, as well as to tone places that need it and continue maintaining so I never go back to where I was again. I ran my first 5K in September & am an avid cyclist. After achieving some awesome fitness & weight goals this year, I will be pursuing a career that helps others acheive their goals as well.

J Reed 12-13-2010 @ 2:32PM

My goal is to put on 5-10lbs of muscle, and transition to & be consistent with Paleo/Primal nutrition lifestyle.

Jonathan 12-13-2010 @ 2:33PM

In 2010, I have lost 6 pounds and am walking 3.6 miles per day. I am starting to jog and want to run some 5K's and 10K's in 2011. Plus, continue towards my goal of 15% body fat.

HELEN 12-14-2010 @ 9:05AM

My fitness goal for 2011 is to run a half marathon. This coincidentally is also on my bucket list. I'm going to start training in the springtime once the weather warms up.

auntiemm 12-13-2010 @ 4:26PM

My goals for 2011 are to keep living an active and healthy lifestyle. After a few years of struggling with menopause issues, I am finally seeing changes to my body thanks to hours of jazzercise, bootcamp and walking every week.

Diane Buckenheimer 12-13-2010 @ 2:43PM

I want to run a half marathon this year and a full one in the next 2 years. Being consistant is my biggest deterant, between family and work. This challenge will hopefully make me accountable to be active every day.

Amy 12-13-2010 @ 2:50PM

My fitness goal for 2011 is to get back into shape and run at least two 5ks and one 10k.

Deidre 12-13-2010 @ 2:51PM

My goal for 2011 is to exercise at least three times a week and began to lose the pounds that began 11 years ago. I would like to lose 100 lbs by this time next year and I know that I need to have some motivation to this. I want to be healthy so that I will not become a diabetic and so that I can play with my kids and not get winded.

Thanks for the opportunity to win.

Over the past 2 years, I have made the effort to become more fit and healthy by exercising regularly and having a healthier diet. As a result, I have lost 50 lbs. In 2011 (and beyond), I hope to continue with this healthy lifestyle and lose the last of this 10-15 lbs of body fat that's been a challenge to shed.
