Although with this thread having so many pages already am finding it hard to read through them all and keep track, so might just write my daily goals down and then upload them on here weekly - do think this could be a good way of doing it? means we still have our daily goals but the thread won't be as long?
Maybe do the thread each week?
I've consulted the "vets" of this thread to get their opinion, but I would love the opinion of everyone else who has joined this month also. I think one of the things that creates extra pages is when we hit quote to recap the day. So maybe we can set our daily goals and when we come back to recap, we can just put it in sentence form.
For example, I'll use Miss goals. If she posts this for Wednesday:
Wednesday
Goal 1 = Walking, at least 1 hour
Goal 2 = Be under or on par with my Calories
Goal 3 = Exercise - Do work on arms
Goal 4 = Eat nothing after 9 pm.
when she comes back on to recap she will just say: I walked one hour, stayed under my calories, ran out of time to do arms, didn't eat after 9. And then go on to Thursday in the same message.
Thursday
Goal 1 = Walking, at least 1 hour
Goal 2 = Be under or on par with my Calories
Goal 3 = Exercise - Do work on arms
Goal 4 = Eat nothing after 9 pm.
It will take up much less space. But I do like posting on a daily basis. That is the premise behind the thread.0 -

This is our 10th month. Ive had a GREAT time. I enjoy going through the pages and actually reading other people posts daily and offering my support. This thread is here for me everyday when I need it most. I'd rather it not change for everyone although you are more than welcome to post weekly. Just my opinion.0 -
Goals forJune 7:
1. Water.--Yes.
2. HEALTHY choices (NO Candy/cookies!) and track my food.--Yes and yes.
3. Make dessert for tomorrow's dinner.--Yes.
4. Come back here later to refresh my memory!--No,, no time.
5. 10 minutes of yoga before bed at 9:30.--No and yes.
Teresa--I feel back on track again, too, and am also working on losing the weight I gained while slacking. That's why I love this thread--having a daily reminder of my goals is SO motivating for me!
Leela (and others, too!)--I continue my post under my quote of the previous day's goals. (Be sure to have it AFTER the last 'quote' thingy.) That way there's just the one post each time I come here.
MisstoMrs--To be honest, I've tried weekly goals and they don't work for me. I do much better with a daily goals reminder/post.
Goals for June 8:
1. Water.
2. Be careful with portions tonight (DDs BF is making dinner) and track my food.
3. Don't stress about stupid stuff that I can't change!

Hi,
I do know what you mean about it being tricky to read through it all but it only really works for me if I post each day and start over each day. I'm not sure I could face coming back and posting at the end of some of the bad weeks I've had .
What do you guys think?0 -
This format has worked well for us for the last 10 months! It seems like no one else as a problem with the original format. I will leave it up to each individual to decide how they want to post. If they want to stick with what works or if they want to try to recap in a sentence format instead. Thank you everyone for the feedback. I look forward to continuing to have daily successes!0

missloser, add as many goals as you want. Sometimes I have a whole laundry list of things to do too and I know I probably won't get them all done, but I have a better chance of remembering it once i've written it down, or I'll pop back on midday just to see if I left anything out. I love your fiber goal. I take fiber supplements now since I am not getting enough from my food.
silver, how's your grandmother?
Terry, I'm so glad you're back on track on the road to success!
Momma, I love how you and your husband do activities together. I'm actually a little envious! I really wish he was more involved in that part of my life! What's the deal with the mayo? I know you mentioned once before that you put it on everything! are there other condiments that you like that you can use as a substitute? I've heard of people using plain yogurt because the taste and textures are similar.0 -

I haven't been sleeping well the past few nights and I'm not sure why. The windows are open so maybe I need to get used to 'neighborhood' sounds again!
Good for you, NikkiJ!
Hi Nicole! Keep in touch! (And I also thank Leela!)

Hi,
I had a bit of a melt down yesterday. After a very long and difficult day at work I got some photos through of myself at a friends wedding when I had thought I looked pretty good and I looked almost the same as I did in the photo that inspired me to change it all in the first place! It was perhaps the lowest point I've had since starting this process. Needless to say I did the mature thing whined something about eight months well spent and ordered a pizza. I feel pretty silly about all the drama today because now I look at them the pictures aren't that bad and I know I've lost weight and I am as I type, wearing clothes two sizes smaller. I've lost perspective somewhere so I'm going to take today off, not go nuts, I'll still eat my salad, but just think about things other then diet and weight loss. Try to remember that losing weight is nice but not the most important thing in my life and then get back on it tomorrow, better then ever.
Hope you're all having a great day.
