It seems to be working for others, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
In no particular order:

Goal 3: Start regular exercising routine so as to be at most 160lbs by the December of 08
Goal 4: Get finances in order and stop pissing away every paycheck so as to have at least $3000 in savings by December of 08
Goal 5: Stop smoking cigarettes completely by December of 08
Goal 6: Talk to an administrator and see about my Associates degree by December of 08
Goal 7: At least look into getting emergency substitute credentials by December of 08
Goal 8: Come up with amazing gifts for Mom and Dad's birthdays by August 08 and September 08 respectively

Best of luck :) It's never too late to get started. Welcome to "the club" heh.
For losing weight: I found an interesting site, SparkPeople.com, where you can track excercise, weight, nutrition, all sorts of stuff. Plus they have video's and instructions on various excercises and there are support groups (Teams)... my handle there is sadiqah also. There's even, of all things, a NaNoWriMo Team :)

While I'm already a member of Sparkpeople, I had no idea there was a NaNoWriMo team!
I'm very excited- thanks for the tip!
