It's good to shoot for the most but make sure you recognize that these goals are your long term goals. Set up some intermediate goals for yourself as benchmarks along the way.

Never, never NEVER doubt yourself. You want to be a Marine? leave the words DON'T and CAN'T out of your vocabulary. If you say you CAN'T, then you can't. If you say "I CAN lose ten pounds by next month" you WILL lose 10 pounds by next month. KEEP ON TRUCKIN!!!!!!

alright, ran a practice PFT last night with my recruiter and some fellow poolees, so here's the current stats:

Weight: 203
Pulls: 17 (had a bad day though)
Crunches: 100
3 Mile Run: 23:54 (stopped in the woods for a head call though)

Overall I'm happy with it, but I'm doing it again tonight to better it

I am 100% going to agree with Kurbs here. I attempt to make weekly and monthly physical goals. With this you need to be keeping a log of your progress. This will allow you to see what you were able to do and what you do now. It is motivational and it gives you a way to judge your goals for the next week/month. As well you will be able to better understand when you hit a peak or a wall and need to try something new. I myself needed 3 different types of pullup programs alone along with going to the gym in order to get to 20 pullups. Keep up the good work, but like Kurbs said, short specific goals are key to your success

Agreeing w/ both of you. When I started on my journey I thought "Holy *&$# I have to lose 120 pounds in a year?!??" and it got me down, but then I thought "okay, if I lose 10 pounds or so a month, I can do this," and that is what I focus on. Sometimes I still get a little un-motivated because I can't see the progress, and noone else can see the progress, but I know that I'm doing SOMETHING right, because that number on the scale keeps dropping down. It's all about the "baby steps".

My goal is to lose at least 15 pounds in a this month and get all my scores up. I can do the dead hang just fine, sit ups I'm at like 65 right now but I'm out of shape and practice, run time... meh I couldn't tell ya I just got over a bout of Taco Bell induced food poisoning so i've been a little weak over the past week.

Funny thing is... I weigh 196 but even my recruiter was asking me where I was hiding the bricks because i guess I don't look it, I guess I look a good 40 pounds lighter. So now I'm thinking if I lose 40 to DEP in I'll be a stick! No actually it'll probably all come from the stomach, the rest of my body is actually fairly toned, I've let a few beverages get to me

But I agree with what everyone is saying, sometimes you gotta look in the near future to see that your goal really is possible, like Kitty said up there 120 pounds in a year sounds like a lot but once you break it down and look at it like oh thats really only 10 pounds a month, its not bad.

Another thing I like to use is never saying I HAVE to do X goal I always like to say I WANT to or I GET to! When I was talking to my manager I was talking about how I GET to lose 40 pounds to DEP into the Marines. Maybe thats just me though

For the month of July final fitness report

Pull-ups: 6
Crunches: 115
1.5 Mile: 9:24

My goal is to loose 2-3 lbs a week, and gain a Pull-up a week. I have made myself a delicate pull-up program that I know will jump up my Pull-ups in no time.
