    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!

    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.

    So Quick intro - I am a 48 yr old grandmother of 4, quit smoking almost 2 years ago, love the support on MFP, know what I want to weigh, want to feel as good without clothes on as I do with most of my clothes on! Not much to lose, but somehow it is a slow process with me! Life is CRAZY and that makes things difficult for all of us! Late coming into group because of it! So welcome to the new folks! And Hi again to all of you!

    November 7th goals
    1. Water- 10-12 glasses (hard for me when it isn't hot outside)
    2. Log food!
    3. Work on laundry
    4. finish work paperwork!

    I am thankful for my internet which allows me to have this awesome support group! See you tomorrow!

    Goals for Monday 11/7
    1. Atleast 52oz water
    2. Fold and put away all the laundry

    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.

    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

    3. To burn 1000 calories because I saw a post in the forum for today!! I can do this!!

    I complete all 3 of these goals but didn't lose anything, I guess I may not have recovered from the night before!

    Today my 3 goals are:
    1.Put away my Halloween stuff. (while listening to Christmas music)
    2. Hike & socialize my dog.
    3. make a nutritious dinner EARLY enough to have an after dinner walk.
