This Topic has three questions but you can't see them all.
1. What is your current goal?
2. What are any obstacles to reaching that goal?
3. What can you do to overcome them?

You may not have an answer to each one. Ask for input if you need it!

My current goal is to loose weight and change my lifestyle habits. My children for one and mostly for myself.
My CW is 182.2 and my GW is 120 so I have a long way to go.
My obstacles are this: I am an EMT and work 24-96 hour shifts. When I am home I am way tired and usually just go to bed, when I am at work I cannot work up a sweat because I need to be able to go on 911 calls. I am in my uniform with a work boot, so hard to do any king of cardio. I am not loosing weight and feel like I am starving.
I can hopefully overcome them with support, encouragement, snack ideas, meal ideas.

My current goals are to lose 15 more pound and to get into a healthy BMI. I think once I reach 155 I will want to challenge myself further. I started at 200 and am .2 away from 169.

Obstacles are when I get myself in one of those over the top eating situations where I did not plan well and/or reach for the wrong food item because I am ravishly hungry. Family gatherings and holiday meals can also be a challenge.

What I do.... I try hard to plan my meals and make sure there are healthy options available in the fridge. I use almonds when I am in between meals and start to get hungry. It's amazing how (5) almonds can curb my cravings. I have them in my desk and in my vehicles. Oh and I drink tons of water (helps my skin feel soft too, my elbows use to be dry).
If I do have a bad day, I just have to log it, maybe workout a bit more and keep on going.

Wishing everyone a successful adventure.

My current goal is to lose 55 lbs.
The obstacles to reaching my goals is myself. I have no will power!!!
I intend to overcome them by keeping a support group around me.

I have started the "Eat to Live" diet with my daughter who suffers from Rheumatoid Arthritis. Going vegan for 6 weeks, the plant based foods help decrease inflammation. We are doing great I've lost 11 pounds in 3 weeks, she has lost 5 pounds in 1 week! My goal is to lose a total of 46 pounds! After the first 6 weeks we go to the 90% rule, 90% of our diet is plant based foods. The hardest thing to not do is going out to eat, hard to do on thes diet!
Keep it up, you can do it! We can do it, I know she will feel better if she can get some weight off her joints!

My goal is to reach 150 or so. I managed to reach that 5 years ago, but have put some weight back on (currently at 176). I'd like to keep it off this time. Right now, my biggest obstacle is realizing that I'm, well, 5 years older than I was the last time I tried this. I've gotten somewhat creakier, and it's taking a bit longer to get the fitness routine fully established :huh: I need to keep reminding my self to take things slowly.

1. 145
2. My injuries from a fall three years ago left me with a permanent back injury that seriously limits my activity capacity.
3. I am blessed with a husband that will walk, bike or whatever with me for as long as I can tolerate it. I slow him down considerably, but he acts like I am doing great anyway!

My goal right now is to lose 10lbs by St. Patrick's Day, I can only handle 10lbs at a time,lol. My obstacles are Fibromyalgia,and a bad heart,thus alot of meds. and alot of pain, so I can't do alot of exercising. I do like walking, so that helps me overcome everything else.I have a total og 50lbs. to go and hope to have that off by Jan.2013!!

OMG. Today's obstacle? Bagels the size of someone's head and freshly made donuts! While everyone else was gnawing on them... I kept a mantra in my head "I'm losing weight, I'm feeling great. Ten minutes of food is not worth starting over!"

(I am the ONLY one who didn't scarf them down) Yay!

I really do feel we women in our 40's have some issues that youngllings in their 20's don't seem to have. I am so glad for this group.

2. Recurring medical issues, multiple surgeries, long recoveries. Sugars
3. Support, Support, Support. I need a solid forward seeking goal and a structure in which to push for it.
