I've found that doing goals each month has helped me along the way

My goals for the month of March are:

1- Get back to meal planning
2- Lose at least 5 pounds this month (if I lose more that is great)
3- Get to the gym/workout at least 28 times this month
4- do a mile on the bike in under 4.5 mins


What are your goals?

    I agree with setting monthly goals, and yours sound great!

    Mine are to lose that 1 pesky pound that I have left, and reduce body fat % by at least 2%.

    Goals For March:

    1. Keep a ~2500 weekly deficit. Which should put me at a 2 - 2.5 pound loss for the month, my goal.
    2. Try to do ~5000 steps a day average for the month (I'm really lazy, last month average was ~4000)
    3. Stop eating donuts for breakfast 2-3 times a week, limit to once a week max! (I've been having a bit too much fun lol)
    4. Try to eat at 20% protein average every week (I find it hard + expensive to get the protein macro in)

    This should get me ready for my major goals which will be starting in May.

    I agree that making goals is a great idea. I tried that in February and failed miserably, but I'm going to try it again for March.

    1) Lower Body Fat by at least 1% (Which I actually did do in Feb):smile:
    2) Limit eating out to once a week
    3) Drink at least 8 glasses of water EVERY day - no excuses
    4) Plan better (especially lunches during the week) so I"m not so tempted to eat "bad" things
    5) Refrain from eating an entire bag of Cadbury Mini Eggs on Easter :blushing:
    6) Exercise at least 5 days a week - no cheating myself by making excuses
    7) Meet my goal weight!!!!!! - I have 7.2 pounds to go. If I can make a good effort at # 1-6, #7 should be attainable.

    Some of mine have nothing to do with MFP, but here they are anyway:

    ~ Three runs a week (2 short, 1 long) - 12 runs total
    ~ two cross training days a week - 10 workouts total
    ~ Figure out what to do with myself when I get emotional in the evenings... something to express rather than supress my emotions...
    ~ Blog at least once a week - 4 entries minimum
    ~ Stick to a reasonable study schedule for the LSAT, just try to get through a couple of lessons every week - 8 lessons total
    ~ Get a new fun book to read that has nothing to do with nutrition, politics, or the LSAT.
    ~ Impress the hell out of the staff at my internship, get those recommendation letters secured! :-)
