I set a lot of goals at the beginning of the year. We're halfway through, I was just checking my goals to see where I'm at/how far I've come. I crossfit, so some of these goals are specific to that.

Goals:

Drop weight to 190 pounds. Started at 231, currently down to 204. Not quite there yet but on track.

Squat 415#- completed, hit 425#
Bench 335#- haven't benched a lot, might not get this one
Deadlift 560#- nope, last max was 525.
Snatch 225#- completed
Clean and jerk 305#- nope, haven't got over 285#

Other goals were to be able to perform the following:
5 Unbroken muscle-ups- nope, only getting 3 right now
20 unbroken toes to bar- completed
10 unbroken chest to bar pull-ups- nope, my biggest weakness. Can't string together anymore than 3-4
20 unbroken pull-ups- completed
100 unbroken Double-Unders- completed
20 unbroken handstand push-ups- completed
100' unbroken handstand walk- nope, 75-80' max so far when I try

Will bump again at year end to see if I/others can hit a couple other goals. If you didn't set any, it's never too late to set some goals in here to try to hit by the end of the year. Hopefully this thread can be used to help motivate us all to stay on track or give us the extra push we might need

Considering I started the year with no goals, was fat, and didn't work out...I'm doing great. Down 35 lbs and have been weight training since April 2nd. I don't have a target weight, I do have a target waist size of 32". I'm at 36" right now (wear a size 32W though). As far as lifting goals:

That's amazing progress, nice work!

Relatively speaking if you just started lifting April 2nd, you have no idea where you can get to. I started working out 5 years ago, with no muscle and just fat. Never dreamed I would be able to do a single pull-up. I was benching 135, deadlifting and squatting a little over 200. It's amazing what kind of results you can get by sticking to the process and being patient/consistent in the gym and kitchen.

Thanks for the encouragement. I haven't tried any maxes yet. Maybe one day.

Started on March 2. Wanted to get to 170 lbs. Started at about 195. Im at 167 now and want to get to 160.

I guess my goal is to just stick with it. I've cleaned up my diet to no sugar/pizza/junk food ect almost all the time and haven't skipped the gym. I don't have any really goals when it comes to lifting except to continue to get stronger. I just don't want to be fat again.
