What are your health/fitness goals?

Are you into aesthetics? Just general health? At what age did your priorities change?
I'm 29 and for the last 5 years probably have been strict on myself about watching everything that I eat. Constantly talking with others that cared about macros and lifts and all things fitness. This year, in fact a couple of months ago, I switched gears and just want to live a healthy lifestyle. Workout 5 days a week and have my weekends to enjoy and not stress about having a beer or not. Anyone else run into this thought process or go the opposite way?

Priorities changed once my metabolism slowed down in college. I could eat/drink whatever before then and not gain anything and only would need to hit the gym for a couple of weeks to get ripped again.
I didn't start taking it seriously after college when I noticed I was getting a little too chubby for my taste.
Try to stick to a good diet during the week. Maybe a day or two cheat days for eating. Work out 5-6 days a week now. Just love it and I feel the same way. I like to have several great crafty brews without stressing about it. I still like to get drunk every once in a while.
Goal now is to show the 6 pack without having to flex. Once I get rid of that little layer of fat I will feel I accomplished something I haven't in a long time.

I'm 47 and been too heavy most of my adult life
I started working out to keep up w my boys, my goals are pretty simple. Be able to do any leisure activity, no fatigue, enjoy sports and games w my kids.
Strength wise I've always been strong, I only Crossfit but my numbers are 490 dead, 400 back squat and 250 push press, my cleans and snatches suck
I like being able to run a 5k at any time and can do it, 10k require about a month of run prep and I can do that
Blood work is normal now, BP is much better. I am pretty happy where I am at, need to eat better to lose about 25 pounds to get completely rid of BP mess

Trying to look good/feel comfortable shirtless.
It's taking too damn long. Need to nut up and start doing some cardio.
Also looking to get into the 1,000 lb club eventually. Went my whole life without lifting consistently. I'm just glad I finally got around to it the last 2 years.

I've done weights on and off throughout my life. Never really loved it. I just want to not look like a pole in that area, which i feel like i do a decent job of.
my main goals are in running. this past year has been a fantastic one. ran my second half and did it well under my goal (went 1 hour, 47 minutes) and just ran a 5k tonight with a 6:56 pace (first time i've ever run that distance sub 7:30). i feel great. i want to be able to continue to run until i'm at least in my 40s (28 right now) before i switch over to biking more. just don't ever want to feel fat basically. i watch what I eat/drink but don't get too strict about it. if i have a splurge weekend, then i do lots of greens during the next week. no calorie counting or anything like that.

Only care about aesthetics so strength is somewhat of a byproduct. I do not care whatsoever how much I can lift though. Only goal is the physique

My goals are aesthetic also but just remember
When in positive caloric & nitrogen state(bulking with lots of protein) gains in strength = gains in muscle
When cutting with lots of protein, gains in strength = maintaining of current muscle level.
Performance focused goals almost always provide better results physique wise than strictly aesthetic goals. Essentially the opposite of what you stated. Martin berkham talks about this alit, so does Johnny pain of greyskull and kinobody is based on this
