    I am in!!!

    SW = 112
    CW = 112
    GW = 107

    I am small and 5 lbs is a lot. Very hard to lose this % of my body weight. I can do it as I have done it before!!!

    Just for fun: What major exercise goal do you have for 2014 and how will it impact your weight? My goal is to simply stick to excercising continually. In combination with healthy eating it should finally help me loose the last 10-12 kilos.

    Just for fun: What major exercise goal do you have for 2014 and how will it impact your weight? - At this point getting back into exercising regularly is my goal. I have SLACKED majorly and have to get back into the goal and routine. This will certainly aid in my weight loss and my overall health!

    Here we go!

    SW: 164.9
    CW: 164.9
    GW: 159.9

    Weigh in:
    1/1: 164.9

    My major exercise goal is to run 1000 miles in 2014. My running is usually sporadic (even though I use to run a lot of distance races), but I want to get back into it and be one of "those" runners :)


    techteachergi: That is awesome about getting back into an exercise routine! It is tough to build up the habit, but once it's there it's hard not to exercise. Great goal!

    This is my first "challenge" that wasn't just me challenging myself (which hasn't really worked all that well). I'm IN!

    Just for fun: What major exercise goal do you have for 2014 and how will it impact your weight?

    I love to cycle - and started spinning for the winter months. My goal for December was 100 miles on the spin bike. I far exceeded my expectation - 170 miles "spun" to date! My goal for January is 200 miles - 25/wk.

    I've struggled a little with my weight since starting to work out regularly in September. I have actually gained about 10 lbs, that I swore I would never allow back on! I get lots of great support at home and at work, but all from people that aren't struggling with the same things I am struggling with. I look forward to building some camaraderie here on MFP.

    GO GO January Lose 5 Pounds!!!

    Great job on the cycling!!

    and here is my weigh in:

    SW: 153.4
    CW: 151.6
    GW: 146

    My goal for exercise is honestly to just start exercising in the first place :/

    i have seen this group and avoided joining as I feared failure. So I will put faith in my goal of consistency and join. Tomorrow I’ll weigh in and post.

    My exercise goal is consistency. I want to improve my sleep pattern and achieve more body toning. My emphasis will be strength training and other non-cardio type activities.

    I will only be weighing at the end of the month as I am easily attached to the scale and grumpy.

    This is a great motivator. Congratulations on your weightloss Snowwhite7. I like your exercise goals for the new year.

    At the moment, my exercise goals are low...move more. By the end of the year I want to have an exercise plan in place.

    I would like to join!!
    I am a newbie here (on my 2nd week)... Over the last two-ish years I have lost 30 lbs but I have managed to gain some of it back... and due to old "bad Habits" and comfort foods.... Lets just say: December was not so kind to me and my waist line!!! My overall goal is to lose 10 lbs by the end of March which is completely do-able if I get back into my old healthy lifestyle habits!!

    I weigh myself every Monday morning. I've already started the "healthy habit" lifestyle that got me the 30# loss... so my commitment is: to Keep On Track!!!

    My last weigh had me at *cringe* 143
    My Goal (end of march) > 133
    My lowest weight was >>> 126
