(1) Lose 5-10 lbs
(2) Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily
(3) Exercise at least one hour a day
(4) Consume under calorie goal daily
(5) Practice yoga once a week
***If I miss my goal for the day (2,3,4), I'll put in a dollar (for each goal) in a box. Money will be donated to charity***

June 23: End Weight:

    I'm officially starting on April 25 even though i'm already doing my best to meet these goals now. I want to do 60 days before my birthday to give me a little more motivation

    Yep, please add me in this one too ! It will continue to make me accountable. Love this idea !

    1) Loose at least 10-15lbs more
    2) walk/run at least 5 miles a day, 6 times a week ( already at 5 days a week, so this will be good to push me)
    3)Another 15 inches off my frame.
    4)Eat more fiber daily ! I suck at this one =(
    5)Get at least 6 hours of sleep a night. - this will be the hardest, believe it or not.

    Each day that I do not do 2,4,&5 I will put $10.00 in a "goal jar". All money in said jar will be donated to our local food pantry. However, If I do end-up achieving steps 1 & 3, I get $100 bonus. ~ which I will still prolly end-up donating to the local food pantry =)
    Thanks !!

    Oh! What a great idea!! Count me in!

    1) Lose 5 lbs.
    2) Consume under calorie goal.
    3) Work out at least one hour every day.
    4) Take the stair at work everyday (unless I'm going somewhere with my coworkers... they refuse to climb up and down 6 flights of stairs)
    5) Walk Leah (my doggie daughter) at least twice a day (barring increment weather)

    *meet goals 2-5, I will place $1 in a jar for something special*
    **if I miss goals 2-5, I will place $1 in a jar towards a good cause**

    This remains contengent that I don't get scheduled for surgery and ordered off my feet when I go into my doctor's appointment tomorrow. Number 5 is also contenget on Leah's x-ray results and vet recommendations which is also tomorrow.
