2021 is going to be the best year of my life - yet.
And if it isn't, it won't be for my lack of trying to make it so.

Get my body fat percentage to between 15% - 16% and keep it there without sacrificing too much weight. I'm under 17% now and progressing. I'm not trying to look like Captain America, but I don't like jiggling when I walk. I also plan to hike more this year at new places.

I want to be healthier and to eliminate my "pre-diabetes" diagnosis. To do this, I will log my food and exercise every day.

Happy New Year, Everyone. I wish you all good health in the coming year.

no comfort eating, food is not comfort, go to something that is good for me.

I started losing the weight a month ago.. My Resolution would be to continue to, "take back my life!"
Not only physically but mentally and emotionally, as well. I strive to be more aware of what I consume and how much. I told myself not to be discouraged by weight gain. I'm only human.. This just means I have to work harder to lose the weight,, so for this reason, I will continue.

You guys have some really impressive goals... I just want to move from "obese" to "overweight" and stay in that category. Just 10-15 pounds to go after losing 30 lbs since August. No desire to reach my supposed ideal weight, but would love to never be obese again.

I want to be able to love my body. I wish I could say "again", but I've never loved myself. I just want to look in the mirror and be happy with what I see, get through a day without saying "I hate you" to myself. I'm hoping to lose some weight and tone up to maybe do this, but I'm not sure if I'll be able too. I'll cross my fingers that I'll be able to reach my goals in 2021.

BlobE1

1. To carry on with my weight loss journey no matter how many "bad days" I have.
2. To go through with my life changing surgery, and try my hardest to recover for the rest of the year.
3. To get started on my portfolio for work, and actually ask for help when I need it.
4. To meditate and reflect more.

CONSISTENCY - Mindful consistency. For me its my understanding that being consistent is the key.

aubintex

I don't really believe in New Year's resolutions, but I am using the new year to motivate me to:

1. Lose the weight I gained this year from an injury and the quarantining.
2. I want to feel good about myself when I defend my dissertation in the fall!
3. I want to FINALLY learn how to maintain a healthy weight. Losing and gaining are easy, but I haven't found that in between space yet.

Goals for 2021:

Lose 20 lbs once and for all!
Consistent tracking.
Regular exercise, and more often.
Eating healthier and avoid snacking on bad foods.
Get better at golf!

TJ_in_MA

To get my weight down to 199. About 24 pounds to get there. I did get to 204 a year ago so I know I can do it.

Good luck to everyone in reaching your goals!

I'm going to get my MoJo back. Be ready to socialise and get back to the gym as soon as we are allowed. Get my house ready for visitors - they are coming and I will welcome them with open arms and a great big hug and a kiss. I've missed them all - friends and family. So these few days we have in January I will wring every drop of happiness and activity out of them. By the time the snowdrops are fully out, I will have got back to my pre Christmas fitness level (It wasn't high, but I need a small target to get going) I am also planning a quite dry January! My liver will be sad not to be working as hard as it has had to for the last few weeks, but I reckon it needs a holiday. Great vibes coming everyone's way. x

I did pretty good two years ago and then gained back what I lost. I'm really going to try to do better this year. I'm starting over on My Fitness Pal and hopefully by tracking my food I'll have some success. Wish me luck!!!

• To Work on My Posture.
• 1 Gallon of Water every day.

I do not have resolutions as such, I have a "Fit by 40" plan (I'll be 40 in 2023).

Nice plan! To quote Antoine St. Exupery, "A goal without a plan is just a wish." Good luck! I'm sure you'll do this!

sherylcarpenterjohnson

1. Continue my keto way of life
2. Drop the last 15 pounds
3. Get off all meds (if possible)
4. Gradually add in more exercise - starting with walking 2 miles a day and working up from there, adding a little each week.

2021
Get vaccine as soon as I can! (lost a few friends to COVID-19)
Maintain, maintain, maintain... I'm in perfect health, normal in every measurement, and no meds.
Stay fit; keep active, work around the property, build a walking trail in the way-back, and kayak every weekend.
Make full use of my timeshares, 2020 put a big crimp in travel.
Drink good wine, vodka, gin and tequila, stay away from alcoholic drinks high in carbs and sugar, moderation is key.
Minimize my footprint on the planet, only acquire what's needed, eliminate waste, go green.
Support those that embrace similar 2021 resolutions.
All in all, no drama, get on with life, it's to short to squander.

I haven't felt good about my weight for years. I want to exercise 6 days a week even if I don't feel like it, eat healthier, stay hydrated (I don't drink enough water) and above all lose weight and keep it off. I know being 41 presents a challenge as far as metabolism goes, but I'd love to ditch some of my health conditions if I can.

2021 resolutions
1.) Lose a stone (UK English for 14lbs in weight. Why? Because I lost a stone in 2020 and it has felt SO good to be heading in the right direction. Clothes down a dress size or two, feeling stronger, fitter and much, MUCH happier and more self confident. I'm half way there.
2.) Finish the book I was writing. I got half way in 2020. Why? Because it's been a goal for many years and having got half way, it seems achievable.
3.) Learn to drive. Bit tricky as driving schools have been shut throughout 2020 and still are due to Covid but I can do the theory and if they open up again, see if I can get a space with an instructor (massively overbooked right now due to Covid backlog, but it's possible. Why? Because it would give me so much more freedom.
4.) Stick to Dry January. Done it before. This year it feels harder than the last two. Maybe because there are fewer other fun things to do as distractions. Why? Because it's good for my health and resets after too much indulgence at Christmas.
5.) Carry on doing 3-4 bootcamps a week and a daily walk. Already done the first bootcamp of the year and two walks. Why? Because I love bootcamps and walks. They make me happy and healthy.
