edited September 21 in Motivation and Support
As we swing into fall and the end of the Year approaches we all start to think about what we want to have accomplished by Jan 1, 2011. Please add your own goals so we can find support with each other.


I want to BE ABLE TO WRAP A REGULAR TOWEL AROUND MY BODY AND HAVE IT OVERLAP WITH OUT MY HIP PEAKING OUT. (no fun at the gym when the thing doesnt cover all my curves.)

    I want to buy a suit for my son's wedding on New Year's Day. I haven't bought a suit for almost 25 years, as I would outgrow them and swear I would lose weight (that I never did). I can't wait to buy an off-the-rack suit at a normal menswear store!!

    I want to see Onederland for the first time that I can remember. I honestly can't remember weighing under 200lbs. I must have been very young.

    I want to be at 170 pounds and MAINTAINING - keeping up with my swimming, aerobics, yoga, and tai chi DAILY, as well as continuing to eat healthy. I want to make it through the holiday season without backtracking and giving up. I want to go shopping for new clothes that show off all the hard work I've been doing!

    I want to be down to my goal (13 more pounds) I should be able to, but I am a very slow loser.

    I want to be at least down to 200 lbs by New Year's. That's 75 lbs down with 35 to go. Also with hitting 200 lbs - my husband is treating me to a reward of Lasik surgery for our anniversary/Christmas/Birthday. I haven't been 200 lbs in more than 10 years - I have been under that in a very long time. I have had some minor setbacks lately but I am determined and I know with all the support at MFP I will succeed! Good Luck to everyone and the goals you have set!!

    My cousin's wedding is on New Year's Eve, so I want to be able to fit in a sexy dress (well!) by that stage. Have seen a lot of my family in years, so it'll be good to show off a little ;)

    I want to be at my goal weight and maintaining! I should be done in October, but I will still need to be maintaining, and maybe working on losing a few more "vanity pounds".

    I want to stop hiding from the camera Christmas morning.

    I want to be under 190, the lowest I have been since my pregnancy with my daughter who will be 8 by then.

    I want to wrap a towel around me and be fully covered.

    I want to be healthy and fit! I am well on my way!

    update: missed my birthday goal by 2 lbs, not bad really. I am, however in pants I haven't sat in comfortably nor worn since 1999.
    I did spluge and have pizza today. Oddly, on my birthday to day, work ordered pizza for the team and the whole building had cider and cookies... I skipped the cider and only had 2 cookies. 80 cal total on that. I will, however have to make certain to get some cardio in. Hoping to exit work early in order to facilitate that. *smiles* Dinner tonight will consist of salmon and salad so I'll save some calories there.
