:drinker: WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!! READY FOR ANOTHER WEEK?????? :drinker:


:heart: MISSDEEHERE'S ONE WEEK CHALLENGE~FOR SHORT TERM GOALS :heart:
FOCUSING ON ONE WEEK AT A TIME, WHEN THE BIG PICTURE SEEMS TOO OVERWHELMING.......

FOR THE WEEK OF: April 3 to April 9, 2011

I'M MOTIVATED & LOSING AGAIN!! AND SO ARE THE OTHERS WHO PARTICIPATED! WHY NOT JOIN US??


Who would like to make a 1 week pact with us on what YOU need to work on?
Keep it simple & keep it reachable so you can increase weekly.


Focus on just this one week and commit to your choice of either........
examples (may be changed to fit your need)

1. Lose 1 or 2 pounds this week and post how & results by next Sunday

2. Exercise 100 minutes (or your choice) this week, and post how & results by next Sunday

3. Journal daily and & post results by next Sunday

4. Maintain my current weight & post results by next Sunday

5. Choose your own that you have the most problems with & post results by next Sunday


Make your week the week that works for you. Sun to Sat or Mon to Sun, whatever is YOUR week!

“Set new short-term goals. When you feel you've mastered the previous short-term goals you set for yourself, create some new ones. Remember this is a journey, not a destination. Accomplishing any goal, whether it's weight loss or anything else in life, requires a lifelong commitment. You will always have to set new goals and work on new areas even when you accomplish your big long-term goals.”


Thank you and you may friend me if you like, but please include a message in your friend request.

:flowerforyou: Anyone interested in joining us for another week, or a first week? :flowerforyou:

Good Luck to ALL!!

    So far I've cut my 3 mile walking/jogging to 35 min so I would love to get it below 30 min.
    Keep up with my 72 (or+) oz of water a day.
    And I'll have to weigh myself in the morning so I can lose at least 1 lb this week.
    Good luck and Good Night :flowerforyou:
    Oh! had another though, I keep telling myself to get to bed before 2 am, so if I'm home I'll be in bed with lights off by 1 am.

    Happy Sunday, everyone!!! I am starting my new week positively and a goal of mine is to STAY positive, even faced with frustrations and obstacles. :flowerforyou: I've reached my negativity quota for the month with my bad week last week.

    Anyways, my goals are:
    1) Remain positive
    2) Exercise for 200 minutes
    3) Lose 3 pounds

    Good luck on your goals everyone!

    I am heading to a Red Sox kickoff party this afternoon. My best friend throws one every year. They haven't done well the first two games so let's see if they can pull a win today! :tongue: The only problem, though, is that my friend makes THE BEST meatballs and kielbasa and is serving Fenway franks, pizza, popcorn, peanuts... all baseball type food. I am bringing a fruit platter and rice cakes as alternatives! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: oh the life of a healthy eater! I will have ONE meatball and a bite of the kielbasa but I need to stay away from everything else. As long as I maintain that mindset, I should do okay (and keep in mind what happened when I ate the carrot cake last week, I will DEFINITELY be okay)!

    Have a good day everyone!

    Dee I could easily do your one week challenge. I already do everything on the list. Unlike everyone else I have consistent daily weight gains rather than losses. After 8 days on this site I'm over a pound heavier.

    Spring break is this week. So my goals are simple. Do SOME SORT of exercise everyday, drink all my water, have fun, and don't gain weight! Not gaining any weight will be the hardest part. I plan on rollerblading next week, and I'm hoping this new form of exercise will confuse my body, and kick my metabolism up a bit! Taking my laptop with me so I can continue to log everyday.

    Good luck everyone! Have a great inspiring successful week! XXX

    Me too on needing a good week, MissDee!!!!! I'm doing great with the eating part, but the exericising part isn't going too well. Since the weather hasn't cooperated the last two weeks, I haven't gotten outside, and also my pedometer really bit the dust this week, my goal is two-fold:

    Buy a new pedometer
    Record some kind of exercise every day.

    SUNDAY - walked our 1.5 mile route in 30 minutes

    I didn't check in yesterday on last week's board, so here's an update...

    I felt so great about staying under my calorie goal for the whole week, and not having any soda untiiiiil... I treated myself to one. Definitely went over my calories yesterday (Del Taco, alcohol, soda), but 6/7 days is not bad, so I'm ok with that. I don't officially weigh in til tomorrow, so we'll see if yesterday did any damage (wondering how bad the beers are going to affect my loss).

    This week my goals remain the same. Hopefully I can get a little more exercise in and start lifting weights again.

    I'll be posting my weight loss -if any- tomorrow. Have a great week everyone!

    Hey all i'm in again. I'm going to go big and have two goals. LOL!
    Goal #1: No more MFP at night, I've been staying up WAY to late surfing. So shutting down early everynight.
    Goal #2: This week Monday-Friday bring breakfast and lunch to work. Monay-Thursday eat at home.

    I've been eating out a lot lately, so I want to try and regin that in and see it that helps get my daily totals back in line with my recommendations.

    Have a great week ladies. Together we CAN DO THIS!!!
