Welcome, myprana!
We can do this one mini goal at a time!0 -
Hi! My name is Rachael. I'm trying to get back to feeling good about myself! It gets pretty overwhelming though, thinking of the 48 pounds I hope to lose. I am so excited to focus on a goal each week with your support. And I can't wait to support and be inspired by you all! :flowerforyou:
Feel free to add me as a friend as well!

Hello, I've been eating right and exercising more since Jan 2013 and met my first goal of getting out of the 190s in May. I've been trying different things to make my next goal of getting out of the 180s since then. I think my biggest obstacle is not enough activity on a regular basis. Weekly mini-goals may be just what I need to get moving more consistently. Great Idea for a Group!

Hi, I'm Rebecca. I'm new on MFP - hope I'm posting this in the right place (please let me know if not) I'm here to try to stay on task I have gained around 20 lbs since i hit my 40s, so I'm working on losing some of it. I have a BIG sweet tooth, and love to eat sweets, rather than a regular meal, and I love to snack. I like to walk because it makes me feel great (and reduces joint pain), so I don't have a problem exercising every day. My primary goals are to eat healthier, reduce my sweets, and drink a lot more water (I usually only drink about a cup a day). So, I'm hoping this group will help me by setting small goals every week.
My first goals for this week will be:
1: Drink at least 3 cups of water each day.
2: Don't go over calorie goal by more than 200 calories.0 -

February 18, 2014 8:48 pm I joined this group because I love your focus on a week at a time and your supportive posts. Like many of you, I've lost significant weight several times and kept it off 2-3 years. I finally got past that barrier and kept my weight down for 10 + years, but half of it has slowly crept back on. I've found arthritis makes exercise harder and I'm working hard on getting exercise without triggering flare-ups.
I've found tracking my eating helpful, but I spend a lot of time at the computer.
My goals are continue logging all food and exercise.
Develop some more interesting meal plans
Vary my exercise and be judicious to avoid injury. I may try splitting exercise into two sessions to give myself a better chance of not hurting myself.
Anybody else over 70?

Welcome to the group Persistant:happy: Always great to have new folks.... I posted this weeks link just above for you to find us. We begin a new thread each week (but of course you can join us anytime!), some check in daily, some weekly, most when they can. Posting daily if one can really keeps the motivation going and the focus on making changes in our lives.
Looking forward to seeing you on the thread! Oh and yes I do understand about arthritis, I have some knee issues I pretend aren't there:blushing: :bigsmile:

Welcome Persistent,
sorry that your arthritis interferes with your exercise. but you have outlined a good plan and I know you can do it. take it one day at a time and one step at a time. Good luck and I hope to see you on our weekly thread.0 -

Hello - I know its towards the end of the goal week, but I really wanted to go ahead and get started with a group to help hold me accountable to my goals - 1 step at a time. If I drop out of sight, please message me or bug me somehow to get back on it!
My name is Kim, 43 yrs old, secretive binge eating since age 12 (never had to deal with any purging behaviors). Somehow I've never been terribly overweight (40 lbs at most). I am ready to kick that awful habit for good - its expensive, draining, and embarrassing to say the least. I've had success when I've gotten very FOCUSED on a daily basis on healthy active goals. Logging food and keeping up with my calorie balance with my BodyMedia armband has worked very well for me.
I have tried binge eating groups, but they seem to get me focused more on the problem and lead me to do worse. Focusing something you're craving and trying to quit isn't helpful for me. I've had a great week so far and I realized that I haven't thought at all about the problem, instead just on eating the right foods and staying active with other people to keep up the positive momentum.
I feel super motivated and "cured" at the moment, and I really don't want to let this mindset slip away. Tough times are inevitably ahead, and I want to have as many weapons in my arsenal as possible when it comes time to battle my demons.
Goal #1:
Log my calories in and calories burned each day. I use BodyMedia for calories burned. I made my MFP food log open to all friends.
Goal #2:
Go to my local workout class at least 2x/week. Knowing I'll be around others makes it less likely for me to binge. Plus, the workouts are great!
Goal #3:
Do at least 3 workouts on my 10k runner app each week. I started a 10k running program on Monday and I really want to see it to the end.
Mon Feb 17:
Calories in/out logged!
Workout class (pilates) done!
Week 1, Day 1 of 10k plan done!
Tue Feb 18:
Calories in/out logged!
Workout class (HIIT) done!

Hi Kim,
Welcome to our group. I hope it supports you in your goals.0 -
Hey all - Just joined...I've been avoiding my scale for a year and a half (eeeks!!). I just joined a challenge and will need to weigh-in on 4/1, so I thought this would be a good way to cleanse in preparation.
I will post my goals for the week now, but I'm trying to figure out if this group requires a daily check-in...If someone could reply here to let me know that would be great...thanks!0
