Met one of my three goals yesterday (YIKES!!!) ...

1. Continue 8k Training, including upper body strength training;
2. Burn over 1,000 calories; and
3. Drink 13 glasses of water.0 -
Hello all! My name is Kelly. I started attending a Zumba class about 16 months ago and have been a Cardio Dance instructor since July. I'm not skinny by any means and worry that might hinder my class size. But then I figure that working out with an instructor who is on the same path as you and works out as hard or harder than you, could be a great incentive.
I decided around Thanksgiving to just maintain through the holidays and I've gained a few or 10 pounds since then. I'm outta control. Wanting to get my control back and not completely sabotage all I have accomplished so far. I started out at 300 pounds, lost around 20 pounds before MFP and I'm down 35 pounds all together. My ultimate goal is to get to either 150 poundsor a size 7/8....I'm good with either .
1.Great Cardio workout tonight
2. Drink my 8-10 glasses of water today
3. Stay within calorie range
I burned over 800 calories in class, then went upstairs and did some ab work.
Drank 8 glasses of water.
Thank God I worked out and had some extra calories to eat last night 0 -
Three goals for this loverly Hump Day:
1. Going to workout, even though it's not a teaching day for me

3. Drink my 8-10 glasses of water today.0 -
Goals for December 15th:
1. Use my juicer to make something yummy!
2. Eat no more than 1/2 of my exercise calories
3. drink the dang water!0 -
My name is Cana. I've lost just over 50 lbs and am in maintenance mode, but I would like to lose 6% more body fat and to get toned. So that gets me to my goals:
1. Work out for 15-20 minutes daily. I am gone to work/commute from 7:30 am - 11:30 pm, so this is doable for me.
2. Drink 8-10 glasses of water each day. (Not a water drinker.)
3. Don't eat after 9 pm. (I always crave a late night salty snack.)
I will see how it goes when I check in tomorrow. Good luck everyone! 0 -
So I failed at 2 out of 3 goals for yesterday! I didn't exercise and I didn't remain calm...so here I go again Same goals:
1. Stay within my calorie allottment
2. At least 30 mins of Cardio
3. Keep my BP down, remain calm!
Wish me luck!

Wed 12/15 goals
get in to work early

Have a great day everyone.0 -
This sounds like a great idea! It reminds me of how we would set daily goals when I was in hospital earlier this year and evaluate them at the end of the day. I think it would do me some good to get back in the habit. I am 36 years old and to date have lost about 35 to 40 pounds this year. I am really excited about my husband's recent increase in motivation to take care of himself and work on his eating and exercise too! He has lost 39 pounds this year...many thanks to my fitness pal. In fact it was my husband who got me to start using my fitness pal and to start exercising again. I work with teenagers at an alternative learning school. I am a therapist with a community mental health agency that provides mental health services in the school. My husband and I have been married almost 12 years (in February). We don't have any human children, but do have an 11 year old australian shepherd and two cats, 13 years and 15 years. I just joined our local Rush...has anyone else had any experience at the Rush? good or bad? so that brings me to my goals for tomorrow...
1. Get up before 8 am... technically I should be at work by 8 am...but I have a hard time waking up...and we really don't have any kids until 9am...but still I need to get better about getting there earlier...so up before 8 am...(and I don't mean 7:59 am)
2. Drink some water - at least one fill of my large water bottle...about a liter...(I know i need to drink more than this...but I need to start somewhere.)
3. Go to the company Christmas party...stay under my calorie goal...then go to the gym for my first workout with my personal trainer!!!
Okay...enough already...hope everyone else has a great night and wonderful day tomorrow!

Look who found you guys..!!/???... ME!!! That's right!!!! Jessie Mae! How are you all??????? I need to come back so bad!!!!!!! For those of you who don't know me..... Here we go!
My name is Jessica, Jessie, Jess--whatever you want to call me! I will be 30 in January and right now I weigh more than I ever have in my life (minus pregnancies). August before last I started on MFP and lost 20 lbs!! Long story short--I got cocky and went out of control!!! I am very disappointed with myself. I was looking good and feeling awesome!!! Now I hate myself! Nothing fits and I see my gut on my lap, I see my face is pudgier than EVER!!!!! OK no time to dwell on my mistakes!!! I'm going to start like I've never started before!
I am a mom of two- a 7 year old girl and a 4 year old boy. I have a WONDERFULLY amazing and supportive husband!!! ANYTHING I do he is there to support me!!! Weight Loss, My Mary Kay Business (which by the way if anyone wants any info on buying or selling yell at me!!), ANYTHING! I couldn't be luckier! My goal with my MK job is to quit my secretary job so I need to feel good about myself so that I can promote my business and also have the energy to do so!!!
They way I'm feeling right now I could type for DAYS! But instead I will just post my goals!
1.)WATER!
2.)GET everything done that I want to get done on my desk at my dayjob
3.) clean up the house as soon as I get home to make a spot for my new stationary bike!
4.)Use the stationary bike
5.)come in BELOW CALORIES!
feels good to be back!!!0 -
I love this idea. I think it'll help me meet my end weight goal by the end of this year or end of January 2012 at the latest. I am 42 years old and have officially lost 16 pounds since August. My ticker says 20 because that's what I lost when I included the dieter's tea loss before Thanksgiving -- that loss was temporary (water weight I figured out). :ohwell: I just don't feel like changing it back to reflect the 16. Instead, the 20 gives me motivation to work towards it and when I hit goal then I will log it.
Anyway, my three goals for today (December 14) are:
1: Drink 12 glasses of water.
2: Log each morsel I eat and stay under calorie goal.
3: Exercise with hubby after work for 30 minutes on the treadmill.
Looking forward to posting my accomplishments and new goals tomorrow.
WOO HOO! I was successful in accomplishing these goals yesterday.
Today (December 15), my three goals are similar.
1: Drink 12 glasses (or more) of water. May up this to 15 after one week.
2: Log each meal and stay under calorie goal (includes taking taking daily vitamins)
3: Attend Zumba class for a 60-minute workout.0 -
AH! Just saw this open group and would LOVE to join! My goals for today are:

2. Snack healthy!- two cuties and a banana and almonds! Good job for me
3. Limit my cookies to no more than three! only had 1 swedish snowball

Fasting this morning for blood work, didn't really get on computer. Here are my goals for today
1. 10-12 glasses of water
2. Fruits and veggies- 5-7 servings
3. Eat dinner!
Husband gone for last weekend of hunting. Didn't really eat last night. With fasting this morning, late lunch, and massage tonight, will have to think hard of dinner. Maybe salad with venison! While my cholesterol hasn't changed in 10 years would like to get the LDL lower which means more veggies! Exercise wouldn't hurt either, but one thing at a time!
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!0 -

I am getting ready to go visit my brother who has recently lost 40 pounds so hopefully will get a chance to do some exercise while visiting! Keep smiling! Remember You can't change yesterday, learn, and make today the best!0 -
Hi there
My name is Denise and I am a stay at home mom of two very beautiful children. I would love to be part of this group.
1. go to bed by 11pm not 1 am
2.stay away from refined sugars
3.drink 8 glasses of water
Denise
Well, I did 2 out of 3. I am exhausted so going to bed by 11 pm won't be a problem. I might even hit the rack by 10. We have a road trip in the am. I also completed number 3 which wast to dring 8 glasses of water. I drank 11. It was the refined sugar that got me today. The neighbor came over with Christmas treats! I will try agin tomorrow with that goal.
