[ivygreenery]

Great goals. You have inspired me to set some!!!

[Nursedee]

How is it going????? Needed to report the first part of my goal has been reached.....It was only to lose 4lbs before the 9 th. I'm working hard on he second part......

[bbjackson6998]

1. Get serious about food intake (quantity and type) and cut back where needed.
2. Meet protein goal of 90g per day.
3. Lose at least 12 pounds and get to the 180's.
4. 30min. of aerobic walking/running 3x week.

Starting at 200 pounds and that's after working all week to get rid of the 5-7 pounds I put on last week during Thanksgiving.

I have to revise my goals. I just checked on myfitnesspal and I weighed in at 282.5 December 27, 2011. By December 27, 2012, I want to be in the Century Club. I AM going to lose the 13.5 lbs needed to get there in 20 days!!!

[SECRETSLEEVE]

Good Morning

My starting weight is 146.5 my goal weight is 139.5
my goals
1- track on my fitnesspal
2- weigh in at least once a week
3- exercise 3/5 days a week

week 1- down .5 pounds 6.5 pounds till i'm down to the next digit weight range!

[marilynlw]

Current weight 323 and in a stall.

1) Work my way back up to 7 hrs a week in Water Exercise classes and swimming. I can get back in water in another week.
2) Keep track of fluid and protein minimum (64 - 70)
3) Never eat more than one Christmas cookie a day. My daughter always bakes at least a dozen batches to give as presents. So good.
4) Don't spend more than $100 more for Christmas presents. Almost done shopping but I always go overboard.
5) I would like to be in the 200's by New Years but that is a little optimistic so I will say lose 14 lbs. That would be 209.
6) Kiss my daughter and grandson every day and tell them I love them. The challenge will be getting my 14 year old to hold still long enough for his granny
to kiss him.

UPDATE: Doing good in all but #5 still in that stinking stall. So doubt I lose the 14 lbs in the next 14 days. D.. D.. D..

[LealScott]

I never saw this subject so I didn't set goals. But for the rest of the month here are mine.

Starting weight: 192.4

1. Get to 189 or lower
2. Keep to 800 calories even on Christmas party days.

I already track my food every day and my protein is over 90 on most days and my water intake is off the charts. If I can hit 189 or lower by December 31 I will be very happy. If not, I will still be very happy because I have so many NSV.

Not been on in a while and not good news to report
As of tonite I have put on 2lbs , I have not been very good over Xmas and in serious fear that my stomach is back to pre surgery .
My eating choice are so limited now and the idea of a quick meal which used to be pasta or baked potato is no longer possible because of the starch.
The only good thing is that the inches are still moving downwards and look like I will have to buy another new bra in a couple of weeks

Need to get my head back in the game and re educate myself and my new lifestyle, my need for a job is making this harder as most of my time is spent job hunting with very if any positive results

[PKnorr]

Well, the goodnews is I've not gained any in December -
Started the 5 day pouch test today to get things started again.

So I guess it's on to the January Challenge for me

3) get more active with my children.
4) cook healthier meals for my family.

1) 265 not all goal but not too shabby. Starting to see muscle tone.
