    After finally reducing my BMI from obese to normal last year, I wish to reduce my body fat % to 12-15% and gets a nice muscly body as well as pass my first year of med school, and get a drivers license. I also want to improve my footballing skills and maybe change from a CB and full back to a midfielder role in my team. :) Those are the ones I really want to achieve, a plus would be to start training and sign up to run the 2014 london marathon but thats not a total priority. Thanks for reading and good luck everybody in reaching your goals.

    My goals are to:

    Eat a bit better (mainly cut out pop and candy) and cook dinner every night. We've eaten a lot of grilled chicken breast and fruit these last two months.

    I will put more money into savings instead of spending it just because I can.

    And get along better with certain family members.

    Found this in yesterday's paper:

    "It's the New Year, and as you may know, I don't like to make conventional resolutions, because that requires me to think about how much I suck. Who needs it? Too negative. Instead, every new year, I prefer to make unresolutions. I think about the things I like about myself and resolve to keep doing them. "

    This is actually valid. If you read a book called, "Soar With Your Strengths", its about doing more of what you a good at and less of what you are bad at. In other words, if you're bad at math, stop doing math. You're not witted for it. Learn the basics and move on. There is a ton of interesting research around this. Cool stuff.

    I resolve to:
    a) lose 22 pounds, and then reassess. Sadly, I gained 15 of these pounds in the last four months. Hopefully, they come off as quickly.
    b) to get a yoga dvd and do it everyday. I love yoga for so many reasons: makes you strong and limber,
    c) to walk with my kids in the sled twice a week. They love it, and it must burn a lot of calories since I sweat like a pig doing it..

    Here are my resolutions:

    1) Lose these last 5 lbs
    2) Drink more water (I'm so BAD at this!!)
    3) Sign up for a 5K and run the whole thing (even if it takes me 55 minutes, haha)
    4) Start a strength training program so I can lose some inches
    5) Pick up one extra shift a month to help pay for my upcoming wedding expenses
    6) Finish my Masters' Degree! (slated to finish next December, woo hoo!)

    Good luck to EVERYONE on their resolutions!

    Lose the last 10 pounds
    Get a personal trainer for a couple of sessions to give me some new ideas on how to work out
    Get more toned
    Get more relaxed around food and not beat myself up for eating things I want but know I shouldnt eat
    Drink more water/less diet soda
    Keep working out 4-6 times a week
    Start rebuilding my wardrobe soon as all I have is mostly cheap transitional clothes that I dont like
    Try new foods. I'm a picky eater and this has been very challenging and hard for me, but I'm making progress!
    More focus on my job.. I work from home and make my own hours, and I havent been doing nearly enough in the last 6 months

    I've not lost (nor gained, thankfully) a single pound in more than 8 months. Granted, I gave up really trying after the first two of those eight. So my goal is to finish what I started. 15 pounds to go. I'm ready!
