Hi! I'm trying to use 2014 to lose about 15 pounds (which hasn't happened in any of the last three years I've said that... darn stress!)

I've made a lot of lifestyle changes in the last few years - mostly good, one or two bad, I'll admit it - and they don't keep up with my age/metabolism/scale. Tired of doing the work and adding pounds and getting frustrated and giving up.

Hey everyone! My goal is to continue losing weight to become lean and fit. My goal is to be about 120lbs. So I have around 49lbs to go! I want to lose weight and tone up so I can feel better about myself, gain confidence, and be healthy. I am also a dancer so one of my goals is to be chosen to be lifted. Hopefully I can be inspiration to others too (:

HI everyone!! Please feel free to add me as a friend so we can motivate each other daily!!!

For 2014, I have set my goal for 40 pounds! I wish to tone up and gain strength.

Hola! I'm excited to make life long changes this year. I need friend requests and all the support I can get. Currently am going to use and have used in the past Nike Training Club! Fantastic. That with tracking I know I will see results. Let's support each other because I know that can make or break.

Current weight: 180
Goal weight: 130

Love the short term idea: think I'll go with loosing 10% of my weight. When ? I don't know but I'm buying myself Michael Kors as a reward;)

Happy New Year! My goal is health. I'm tired of not feeling well, my clothes not fitting and just being grumpy. (because I don't feel well and my clothes don't fit.) I would love to learn how to eat to support my body, not eat to quiet my mind. I want to find exercises that I enjoy and want to do. I am open to any and all suggestions. Friend me and we can support each other. My sister and i are helping each other but the more the merrier.

Hi everyone, my goal for 2014 is to lose 50lbs and keep it off. I want to have more energy to keep up with my 3 children. Feel free to add me as a friend, need all the support I can get.
Thanks

Good morning. I've joined this group because I need to get serious and make some changes.

I've been very athletic most of my life, but that went down the tubes when I started a business 7 years ago. Now I'm 45, have gained 25 pounds and just don't feel good. I want more than anything to have "Runner's High" again, be fit and feel strong. I've realized that if I don't get back into and stay in shape, I'm risking my health.

I think I have some reasonable goals. I'd like to lose a total of 15 pounds.
I'd like to run 3 days a week, at least 30 minutes each time.
I want to do Hot Yoga 1 time per week.
Stop drinking beer during the week (Sun-Th).

That's a total time commitment of about 3.5 hours/week including prep time. So that will be a big change and is my biggest risk for failure.

I've signed up for Hot Yoga every Wednesday in January (except the last one when I'll be travelling). I ran today for the first time since June. It hurt but it's a good kick off.

On the lifestyle side, I've decided to leave work each Wednesday at 3 to go to yoga and I've vowed not to return to the office that day. I In September I started leaving by 6 pm and for 2014, I want to push that to 5:30 pm. Then I can easily fit a run in before dinner.

My favorite aunt used to say "You don't make a change until you get sick and tired of being sick and tired." I'm there! :glasses:

Hi everyone!

I thought I would join this group because I have been a mfp user for a while now on and off and have yet to utilize any groups or discussions. I'm also joining to stay inspired and take on a long term healthy lifestyle rather than for a month or two.

For the past couple years I have been up and down with my weight, being 155 lbs at my heaviest about three years ago and 130 lbs at my smallest, and it is just not healthy for my weight to fluctuate so much! I was 150 a few months ago so, I've already lost 8 lbs but, have just started going to the gym and eating better on a constant basis and want to get down to 130 by the summer My ultimate goal weight would be 120 as I am pretty short at 5'4".

Good luck and I hope we will all be able to maintain a healthier lifestyle for the new year!

Happy New Year! My goals for 2014 are to drink more water, eat more clean foods, work out most days per week and feel better by living a healthier lifestyle. All of that should add up to losing weight. I have a ways to go as far as a goal weight for my height, so my goals are geared toward making lifestyle changes that will end up in better overall health in 2014 for lasting results. I joined MFP last year and never really used it, feel free to add me so we can keep encouraging each other to stick to our goals!

Yay to 2014! I've been on a weight loss journey for about 15 months now. Had some highs and lows but have also learned what works for me. My ultimate goal is HEALTH! Feeling much better after losing 70 lbs, but I still have a bit to go. I'm also starting to train for my first 5k, and then we shall see after that! Thanks for the group! The support helps me stay motivated!
