    Just for fun: What major exercise goal do you have for 2014 and how will it impact your weight? I am working up towards exercising 5 days a week. (walking and cycling) and 3 times a week weight resistance training to improve my overall health.

    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'm in and will weigh in tomorrow. I have been trying to lose weight for a while and am going to give it a second go this new year! Looking forward to the support and hope to lose 20 lbs in 2014. Happy New Year!

    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

    I will be doing the 30 day shred dvd hopefully everyday this month. Then the next month I will try a new one and same with the months after that.

    To raaraa17 - What a great goal to have, running is hard but if you stick with it I know you can do it!

    Hi guys! I'm a newbie as well, this is actually my very first post. I've lost 25 pounds in the last year (my heaviest was190 and I'm 5'7). I've slacked off pretty bad in the last 3 months and gained 5 pounds back hopefully MFP can help me get back on track to lose the rest. I would like to lose 5 lbs each month until I reach my goal :)

I've slacked off on my exercise consistency but hopefully I can get back on track, my plan right now is to do 2 days of cardio and 2 days of strength training a week for a total of 4 days of exercise per week.

    I'm in! My starting weight this month is 148.8 and my goal is 143. I will be doing 30DS and maybe some Rin30, with some intermittent cardio days (hopefully). Since I am getting back on the bandwagon my focus is to get back in the habit of logging my meals and being accountable.

    Cheers to everyone for taking the first step for a healthier 2014! Good Luck...We got this!

    @aschroeder2749 - I am with you there on the fluctuation! Makes me all grrr...but gets me moving, for sure! I've been "hovering" for about 6 months on either side of the 150 mark - and would like to step on the scale at the beginning/end of the week and have it just say the same thing for once. Maintenance, for some reason, is way harder for me than losing!

    Whether you have gained or lost since the last time you weighed, it is NOT the end of the world!

    Just for fun: I want to lose enough by July 16th so I can say "I lost 100 pounds in a year!" Anything more than that would be a blessing! :smile:

    What major exercise goal do you have for 2014 and how will it impact your weight? Completing another century bike ride with my husband. We typically do one a year (ended up breaking my collar bone last year). I'm gearing up towards that by biking to work when the weather improves :)
