    I had set a 10% weight loss goal for July 15th that short of lopping off a body part or two, I'm not going to come close to hitting. This is not negative thinking, instead it is an accepting of the reality. However for the next few days, I can still buckle down and hit the 5% weight loss mark by that time. I can do this despite currently being at a weight that I historically have had trouble getting much lower.

    So, Just for the next 5 days:
    1. find pedometer
    2. 10,000+ steps each day (I'll have to guesstimate today
    3. Planned snacks and meals
    4. extra fruit and veggies.
    5. Accept my current reality and set a new time goal

    Do we write when we finish our goal(s) or wait until tomorrow? I finished my packing goal. Loud dance music did the trick :smile:

    Did very well yesterday. Yay!

    JFT 10 July:
    1. Stay w/i cal limits
    2. Drink 3+ pints water/tea
    3. Exercise 30+ minutes

    @jmd543: Generally once a day...many folks post just once a day and update the next morning. Some do post goals in a.m. and update in p.m. An easy way to "check in" is by quoting yourself (click on "quote" along bottom of post) and add smileys / comments to your previous days' posting of goals. Welcome to a very nice group! Good job on accomplishing one goal already by midday :) .
    @rebamae: So glad to hear you got out for a walk. :):):) It sounds like you have been having a rough time of it!!!
    @aerochic: Love your viewpoint!!! Go, girl, go on that 5% goal. If you stick with this (albeit, lowered) goal, I'm sure it will motivate you to keep plugging on for the next one! Good luck! :)

    Just for Today:
    Friday July 10: Keep my food diary for a full day and write down everything...I actually did it! It wasn't pretty but I did it.

    Saturday July 11:
    Keep my food diary again. I have trouble with this even though I know it helps and week ends are a hard and not on track time for me I think if I can do this all week end I may actually turn a corner. Thanks for this forum.

    3. lift weights :)

    Yesterday I ate less than 1000 calories, did all of the above (several hours of heavy gardening; full weight workout, plus walking) and still GAINED 3 pounds. I am really at a point of complete frustration with my body. Seriously.

    3. under 100G carbs

    I was up during the night with my leg - I did not eat my way through the pain YEA , but that is why there is no walking today.

    I have almost decided something besides the clot is wrong with my knee. I think I will get it checked next week.

    I had a great day yesterday and completed all of the goals. Now I'm exhausted and will need to figure out the goals carefully.

    7/12
    1. Drink 8 glasses of water
    2. Stay within calorie goals. We will eat dinner at the in-laws' and need to consider that my mother-in-law usually offers me some type of dessert (and I have trouble saying no.)
    3. Finish to-do list. (Mostly computer research)
    4. Try to do something active (walk or work outside)
    5. Stay patient.
    6. Communicate cleary and stay to the point.
    7. In bed by 12:30
    8. On 7/13 get out of bed by 5:15 to get to gym
    9. Post goals by 8 am
