    My goal for August is to lose at least three pounds. I was going to sstart doing Zumba again, but my time is going to be tied up with helping my 92 year old mother switch residences.

    Work out at the gym 3 days a week, and at home 2 times a week.

    I want to clean up my diet. This past week was horrendous!

    I'd like to see the scale go down 5 pounds, but I won't worry if it doesn't, since I want to start C25K and 30DS.

    My goal is to be 11 stone or less, go cycling once a wk and do weights/toning 3 x per week on top of my usual cardio. Hopefully that'll do the trick. I'm off uni for 5 wks as off next wkend so will have plenty of time on my hands to devote to it

    I want to lose 4lbs, start C25K, 30DS & Ri30. I need to add an exercise routine into my lifestyle now. I'm happy with how my weight loss is going, just need to tone up & get healthy as I go. Please feel free to add me for support & motivation.

    On the 28th of August I will have been a member of MFP for one year. I am trying to see if I can get to my goal weight of 129lbs by then. Or if that fails, I'd be happy to reach 136.7lbs which would put me in the "healthy weight range" for my height, making me not overweight for the 1st time in 9 years!
    I was 143.8lbs last time I weighed in. My next weigh in is Tuesday and I think I will be having a good loss! :)

    I started the end of this April at about 232lbs. I weight in every Monday after my run and I wear the same clothes and flip flops to keep eveything equal. This past Monday the 23rd I weighed 210. I rewarded myself with a small thin crust Marco pizzx with peperoni and sausage. I'm hoping to be at about 206 tomorrow. I want to be at 195 the end of August!!!

    I never get enough water so I'm taking the Mermaid Challenge by getting in at least a minimum of 6 glasses of water each day. Some friends are shooting for 8-10 (not me).

    Also, I will go dairy-free for the month of August as I have some suspicions. :)

    Ooh, good thread! I hadn't really set any goals for August, but I'm in. Let's see...I should log my food every day. It's just easier not to since I'm at my goal weight, but I like to make sure I'm getting enough of the nutrients I need. I want to get back to running regularly again after nursing a couple of injuries that have kept me out of the game off and on for a couple of months now. And I want to continue to do something every single day, in spite of the fact that I am going to be out of town for ten days in August. I try to walk at least 3 miles or so, and I prefer to get at least 10,000 steps, so if I can do that every day, it will be a good month. :-)
