    My goals are to lose 25lbs and be ready to run an obstacle 5k by May. I graduate May 17th from college (yay!) and I want to feel a lot better than I do right now.

    My plan is to keep on what I am doing and maintain my weight. My goals are to run in a few races (already signed up for an 8k in March) and work my way toward a 1/2 marathon, and to work with my trainer to increase my strength and LBM.

    My plan is a 1200 calorie diet with less than 30 fat grams daily. I am currently running treadmill 35 minutes a day and going to actively participate in T-25 workouts each evening. My goal is to lose 30 pounds in the next 90 days. I am also incorporating the First Place in Christ fitness and eating program with my daily goals. Overall goal.... healthier, more positive me.

    What is in your green smoothie? Thinking I could add that to my eating plan. I am a school teacher and usually have a grapefruit and yogurt for lunch, but this sounds like it could be an interesting exchange for one or two of my lunches per week. Good luck with your healthy eating plan. I am sure you will be very successful.

    I plan on eating as healthy as I can and really, truly, work on my binge eating that took me down this year. I will also cook for myself a lot more (at least once a week) and exercise with my roomate 5x/week!

    My plan is to STAY on the wagon this year. I'm going (mostly) vegetarian, cutting out soda, and working out five days a week. I will use a 2,000 calorie diet until my dietician tells me to go lower. There is no choice anymore. I'm reaching the age where my body can't take this much weight....

    Diet: of course calories but I will try to follow the macros too this time. As many one ingredient foods as possible vs anything elze. Fruig or veggie with every meal. No snacking. Snacking leads to grazing for me. No mt dew. If u look at my diet log u can see I have a clear mt dew addiction.

    Exercise: I got bodymedia for christmaz so goal is to burn at least 2300 calories daily so I can eat 1800 daily cuz a girls gotta eat lol. Workout videos walking and stairs at work should get me there no prob. Lurking on this board has convinced me to start in orporating resistance training as well. I plan on starting with simple body weight exercises then moving on to weight training in hopefully a few months. O ther than girly dumbells I have never really lifted weights so I will need to save for a personal trainer. Thats my plan! Good lu k everyone!

    I really like your goal of having a fruit or veg with every meal. I'm a carb queen, so if I could fill some of that "hungry space" with fruit and veggies first, it undoubtedly would help. Must. Work. On. Discipline. ;)

    On Monday I'm purchasing a barbell and dumbbell bar and plates, so that I can continue my lifting at home. Oh, this is for fitness (I'm not trying to lose weight). And I'm going to do more in dance (artistically and technically). I have put something behind me at the end of this year. And this year is indeed a new start for my life mentally and emotionally.

    Oh, yeah, people say that we should be specific in our goals. So, just want to add that my goals are more specific (I just didn't want to share the specifics online here).

    I'm pregnant so my goal isn't weight loss at the moment, but more minimising weight gain. Until around April 20th when I will be looking at losing again (although hopefully not too much if I stick to being healthy for the next 4 months!)

    My plan is to make sure I eat healthily and don't give in to unhealthy treats. I'm pretty good with meals, but sweet treats are my downfall at the moment. So, the plan is to have healthy snacks all week, and allow myself a treat on a Sat or Sun. I find that the less I eat sweet things, the less I want them, so I'm hoping this will work!

    I also plan to keep on exercising right up to my due date, even if by then all I can manage is the treadmill. I still do classes at the moment, but don't make it high impact now. I'm hoping this will make it easier to get back on it after my 6 week check.

    Once I've had my baby, I'd really like to try a boot camp, and I'm tempted to attempt running. I live right by the sea, so the promenade would be the perfect place.

    If anyone out there knows the answer to getting over a plateaux please add me and share your experience.

    I increased my calories to get over a plateau, and also made sure I did a variety of different exercise. I was doing aerobics, step, spinning, boxercise, Zumba, LBT, core stability....and gym sessions with a combination of strength training and cardio.

    I need to fix my damn diet. I work out minimum 6 times a week, cardio at least 20 minutes, usually more with ab workouts. But I've been stuck at 149 because I eat like crap.

    I tried to cut out the lean cuisines and stuff like that, and figured out I don't know how to eat. So I'm fixing my diet and extending my workouts to 40 mins. Thats my goal.

    Stop binge eating out of habit (formed when I was on a overly restrictive diet).
    Continue to track my calories and watch what I eat.

    My plan is low carb / low sugar and zumba zumba zumba :)

    My goals are similar. The only sugar I'm consuming is what occurs naturally in vegetables like peppers. But without the Zumba, as I am an uncoordinated wreck. Moderate workouts, nothing that will mess up my joints. I had to quit running, it killed my knees, which killed my motivation, which led me to stare disconsolately into the fridge, thinking why do I even bother, which led to some pounds back on the scale. Maybe weights this year instead? Still not sure.

    My health related goals for the coming year are to maintain my weight loss and possibly lose another 5 to 10 pounds. I will do this by exercising 5 times a week for at least 30 minutes working up to 60 minutes, with two of these days being strength training, and eating healthy foods in moderate portions.
