I'm new to this site, just signed up today. My goal over the next four weeks is to really take control of my eating habits and exercise everyday! I'm recently engaged and have gained 10lbs... boy do I like him!!! But I really want to get back to the weight I was when we met. I need to have better eating habits; my downfall - Cheese! We have cheese and crackers every night! I need better snack choices... and to control my portions. I'm glad you're all here! Much success to us all!0

Hi I am so glad I found this group.
Affirmation: I have made the first step and decision to finally make a change for good. I am going to have more energy to play with my kids and exercise daily every morning with one day off. I am controlling my portions and adding raw foods to my diet. I am going to be 5lbs lighter after four weeks and keep on going until I reach my goal.0 -
It is September 17th - For the last 4 weeks i have consistently remained at 1200 calories each day. I drank a minimum of 64oz of water each day. I continued and average of 4 days a week cardio (Zumba) and 4 days a week heavy lifting. I have more energy and am finally not afraid to step on the scale. I can look in the mirror and not feel so disappointed. I am proud of myself and feel i can continue on this journey and will not give up this time.0

I'm so glad to find this group! I knew that I needed to refocus my efforts as I was sliding back into some bad habits. Sunday, 8/12/12, I committed to give full effort for 4 weeks. This group is perfect to provide some accountability for me! Here is my affirmation:
It is 9/10/12, I have been eating at least 3 to 4 vegetable servings daily, while keeping my net calories below 1500 at least six days every week and including plenty of protein (70-100 gm daily). I am including strength building exercises and stretching at least twice weekly, and continuing cardiovascular work 3-6 days per week. Instead of grazing in the afternoon and evening, I am taking time for activities that I enjoy such as guitar playing and reading. I enjoy the way my clothes fit (loose). I have rewarded myself throughout the past four weeks for meeting my goals--a pedicure, a shopping trip (something new to wear), a new book to read. The effort I put into the past four weeks has been well worth it! I feel great!0 -

Hello, all! I am enjoying reading everyone's goals and posts. My affirmation for the next 4 weeks is as follows:
1. I am a more positive person who puts herself first each day in order to find time to exercise and log everything in to MFP.
2. I am exercising at least a half hour a day, five days a week.
3. I am logging in everything I eat and closing out my food and exercise diary each day before midnight.
4. I have lost at least 5 pounds.
5. I have established new, positive habits that have given me more energy and greater weight loss.
I have learned that when I take care of myself first, everything and everyone else benefit because of it. I feel great!!!0 -

Affirmation: It is September 17th & I am proud to say that I have logged everything I have consumed & have mastered not eating 2 to 3 hours before bed. I have drank water vs. soda and focused on eating unprocessed foods. I have also maintained a workout schedule including 90 minutes of daily activity in conjunction with a new employment which has increased my daily activity. I have successfully lost the five pounds I gained on vacation will reward myself with a new HRM or similar item to better calculate my daily calorie burn.0

Here are my goals ... better late than never! I agonized over them, because I have so many! After reviewing them several times, and making some changes, I'm happy with my list. AND I feel it is going to be a challenge, BUT it is doable! (As long as there are no more injuries or major health issues!)
It is 17th September, and I am very proud of myself!
* I have consistently eaten a minimum of 1200 net calories ... but within my TDEE-20%
* I have been drinking at least 8 cups of water every day.
* I have remembered my vitamins every day.

My affirmation:
It is 17th September, I have consistently eaten 1350 net calories, have been exercising for at least 30 minutes 5 times per week and can easily run a 5k three times per week. I have meet each one of the daily strength training challenges and can hold plant for 1 minute twice. I have successfully made it through a weeks vacation and a wedding without overindulgence. I am extremely proud of this achievement as temptation is my most "evil" evil. I have lost 4 lbs minimum, an inch from my waist/hips and am feeling slimmer, stronger, healthier and a great sense of achievement.
