Hi,
I'm Emma, and commitment and willpower aren't really my specialities.... BUT like the quote goes "every passing minute is a chance to turn it around" so here are my goals for tomorrow
1. Drink enough water
2. Start c25k
3. Do 10,000 steps for the day

Did a terrible job with the water, started c25k & not sure about the steps because the pedometer and c25k program are both on my phone & it can't do 2 things at once!

Tomorrow I'm going to
1. Drink more water
2. Go on a big beach walk
3. To make better food choices-not just eat less junk than usual

Goals for 11/4
1. Stay within my calorie goal
2. Drink at least 64 oz of water
3. No sodas (going out to dinner with my mom so that will be a challenge!)

I definitely drank enough water and didn't have any sodas. But we went out to dinner at a chinese buffet so I'm pretty sure I went over my calories. The terrible thing is that my husband and I are going to dinner and a movie with some friends tomorrow night so I don't know how my food will be then either.

Goals for 11/5
1. Drink at least 64 oz of water
2. No sodas
3. Wear pedometer and reach 10,000 steps

Have a great weekend everybody!

Hi all, been MIA for the past two days as I've flown out to see my OH so haven't had a chance to update my daily goals. My Friday goals were as follows

1. Staying within my net calories, I'm off on holiday tomorrow and airports tend to mean snacking to me, so I'm armed with fruit and graze boxes (tick)
2. Zumba at home tomorrow morning before heading to the airport (tick)
3. Leave the flat in a good state so I have something nice to get back to, lol (tick)

My goals for today are

1. Exercise, preferably outdoors as the sun is shining
2. Drink 2.5l water
3. stay within net calories (which I haven't managed yesterday by a long stretch unfortunately)

Have a great Sunday everyone

pmjsmom

Goals for November 5:
1. Stay in my calorie goal.--No.
2. HEALTHY food choices!--No.
3. 30 min. walk AM and PM.--No and yes.

Right now I just want to give up. I won't but I want to. I don't know what happened to my motivation. I used to be so good about doing exercise every day and eating right. I want my motivation back!

Goals for November 6:
1. Stay in my calorie goal.
2. HEALTHY food choices!
3. 30 min. walk AM and PM.

I'm a little late on the bandwagon, but I LOVE this idea. I have a hard time keeping the big picture in my head and really think concentrating on day to day would help.

Hi, my name is Jasmyne and I'm 29 years old. I have a semi busy life, 2 children and a wonderful husband. I'm finally able to get regular exercise in now that both my kids are in school so that has been nice. I also work part time (usually weekends) as a waitress.

My goals for Sunday are:
1. Water Water Water....I have such a hard time getting enough water
2. Not overdo my food for today. I'm going out to my parents for dinner (we do every Sunday) I don't know what we are having yet, so I don't know if I will go over at all, but I'm just going to concentrate on not going crazy
3. Get my dishes done.

kizzym

And Hi again to all of you!

1. Water- 10-12 glasses (hard for me when it isn't hot outside)

2. Fold and put away all the laundry
3. Exercise atleast 45 minutes

Goals for November 6:
1. Stay in my calorie goal.--Closer, getting there
2. HEALTHY food choices!--Better, also.
3. 30 min. walk AM and PM.--Am, no, PM, yes.

Welcome, Jasmyne, kizzy and Valerie! It will be nice to get to know you.

I am going to act as if... as if I am motivated and excited about being on this journey to a healthier me! Let's see what happens! (Hey, this technique has worked for me in other areas so why not in this?)

Okay, time to add drinking water back in--I have REALLY been slacking on that! I always feel better when I drink enough water, too!
Seems like a number of us have this problem. I'm going to use my old method--bottle caps on the windowsill over the sink. I move one to the other side every time I take a drink! It was a good reminder so I'll try it again!

Goals for November 6:
1. Stay in my calorie goal and make HEALTHY food choices.
2. WATER!!! LOTS of it!
3. 30 min. walk AM and PM. (Did a 15 minute walking video--will be walking again in a bit--this time outside!)

Hello everyone!
I think this is a great idea! Little bit about me. I'm kind of getting restated and new to my fitness pal online. I lost 60 lbs on Jenny Craig while working for the company as a consultant, but am no long working there. This past Feb I started working for a company where majority of the time I am tied to a desk. I have only gained about 10 lbs back since Feb. But I am still about 25 lbs away from my original goal. My main issue has been motivation to do activity. Food I am good on just because I used to eat sleep and breathe weight loss due to working for a weight loss company. I have a cruise coming up in a month and know I must buckle down. Accountability is the key and would love to have a group to be accountable to, not to mention being able to help you all on your journey as well.

My goal for today is to walk at lease 30 mins and stay under my calorie intake goal.

dianhathaway

Hi there:
I'm relatively new to MFP, have lost a little weight (6 lb so far), and would like to lose about 15 more. I'm 54 yo, married, and work full time. I find it easier to keep to my calorie count at work, vs. at home on the weekend. I like to exercise, lots of walking, and my goals today are:

1/2 hour of fitness walking
1 hour of gentle yoga
to be under by calorie count

Great topics and motivating discussion. Thanks!

Dian
