My goal is to lose 52lbs this year. If I lose more that is awesome but if I lose more then that, then I am fine with that. I am very embarrassed to say this but my dad officially weighs less then I do. I am happy for him and proud of him but feel bad that I dont have any weight loss. I started off 2012 good and losing weight but sadly things changed and by the end of 2012 my life was flipped upside down, and I gained. I have my mind cleared so now I am ready to focus and get healthier for myself,a nd for my family. I am ready to start 2013 off on the right foot.

    my 2013 goal is to lose 40 lbs i've got a bad reputation for quitting diets and not exercising when i should be..
    so i joined MFP for moral support from others like me. my boyfriend is a marathon runner and i want to be able to keep up with him when we play sports together, i cant get to the gym but i do own an elliptical machine and a set of free weights if that counts,
    i know its only two sets of 20 lbs but this might be the hardest thing i have ever done i wish you all good luck

    Sorry I have not responded sooner. I know that we can all reach our goals this year. I decided to save $5 for every lb I lose so that January 2014 I can spend the $ on me to do whatever I want. I am thinking that if I lose the full 52lbs then I will get me a few outfits. It wont be a huge amount but I love to go to consignment shops and so can get a whole new wardrobe with that amount. I was rewarding myself for every 10lbs and didnt make it to many of my rewards. This year I decided I would reward myself for every lb instead of waiting. I am going to stay out of the $ till January 2014 so that it will be for a years worth of work. I am excited to be rewarding myself for every lb because I feel seeing that will help me stay focused better. I hope to hear from others who are reaching their goals. We have almost made it through the 1st month and I hope that all is on track. I have steered clear of the scale because I was dealing with a few personal issues and so tomorrow is going to be my 1st day back on the scale. I am not sure what I will see but will accept it for what it is and just keep going. :happy:

    Haven't really given much thought to goals this year.
    The only one I have is to be as close to where I want to be as possible by September / October when I hopefully start University :). Good luck to everyone with their goals, I'm sure you'll get there :)
