My goal is to set mini goals. this way I feel I'm making progress as opposed to "I still have all that ways to go" This month I'm going to start with one goal, my water intake, and once I have that down, hopefully a week or two, and then add another goal. This way I gradually build on all the good habits I want to make a part of my life and don't feel so overwhelmed by trying to implement them all at once.

My goals for 2013 are:

1. Lose 40 pounds
2. Get my energy back
3. Stay off diabetes, bp and cholesterol meds (doc has warned if I don't lose the weight, I will be back on said meds)
4. When I do lose these extra pounds, keep up with my eating and exercise plan so I do not gain it all back!

I realized a few years ago that New Year's resolutions and long term goals are not for me. A whole year is too long for me to focus on anything Instead I have some short term goals. I'm still recovering from an injury, so mainly I'm concerned about getting back on track.
1. Get back to the gym next week (when I should be fully healed).
2. Give away or throw out any candy/baked goods people got me for xmas. I don't want any of it anymore, but keep eating it because it's there.
3. Use the StreamFit membership that came in my Klutch box.
4. Find a new source of protein that I like (I don't like meat and I can only eat so much dairy). If you know a good low cal, low sugar protein bar/drink, let me know

A little longer term:
1. Lose 2 pant sizes before my Ireland trip in June.
2. Earn the $100 coupon on earndit and treat myself to new workout clothes from Body Rock.
3. Use the weight room at my gym.

Goals this year are:

1. Reach my goal weight (Hopefully by summer)
2. Track EVERYTHING and keep myself accountable.
3. Become comfortable with who I am - no matter what size.
4. Get a better outlook on life.
5. Be the best friend I can be to all my MFP friends!

This week my goal is to eat clean (aiming at 100% but already failed on that one yesterday). I also want to stop using my work hours as an excuse to not go to the gym (on overnights this week).

To lose the 5lbs total this week (losing 3 of the lbs that I gained this weekend celebrating my husbands birthday)

My goal this week is to stay motivated...in everything. I need to continue tracking and excercising, but my weight loss from last week is keeping me motivated to do that already for this week. However, I also have to remain motivated to go to work everyday, and get the thousands of things that need to be done, actually done to prepare for my daughters birthday party this weekend. It's just a small party, but having to do that on top of everyday chores, when I am already exhausted from work will be difficult. I like making to-do lists to keep me on track and motivated, but this time seeing all that had to be done, kinda backfired, and is making it feel daunting instead.

I hope everyone can reach their goals this week!

Drink more water!! That is my main goal. I plan to cut down to 1 soda a day (7UP) and the rest of my fluids will be water.
Other goals: Lose 40 pounds and be at hubby's weight. Lose another 45 to be in "healthy" range. Do the whole 30 day shred without having to stop for air. Walk 1 mile, then 2, 3, 4, 5 without feeling like I want to die. Raise my self-esteem to where I feel like I'm beautiful. There's more but I thought that would work for now.

Goals:
*continue to drink water and not pop
*ZUMBA (I got it last night!!)

My goal is to lose enough weight to where I feel good about myself. I don't know if I really have a certain goal weight, as of yet, but just to feel good! I don't really have a lot of self esteem, and when I am out with my husband, I can't help but wonder what people might be thinking. My husband is thin and tall, and it makes me wonder if people are thinking or saying behind my back," what is he doing with something like that?!" To my husband I am beautiful. He just worries about my health. I want to be able to walk in a store holding his hand and not be wondering if people are secretly laughing at us. Does this sound stupid? Maybe it's all in my head, but I can't help it.

This is not at all a stupid thought, and I would venture many of us (including myself) think this. We'll keep working hard together, and we will get there!

My goal for today is to stay employed and make it to my support group meeting tonight.

My first goal is to lose 10 lbs by my birthday 3/27, 20 lbs by my next cardiologist appt 6/5, 30 lbs by my anniversary 8/2, and 50lbs by christmas.. I know the holidays make it difficult to plan to lose weight thru them but I know I can do it..

my goal is to have lost 15 pounds by valentines day

My goal for 2013 is to lose 40+ lbs. I'm currently at 174.4 lbs but would like to be 125-135 lbs by end of 2013. I'd like to wear tank tops and summer dresses this summer. I'd like to take up jogging & try a small 5k or 10k marathon this year also...

I want to lose all excess weight and become fit. At the same time I want to start new habits that I will be able to do for the rest of my life.
