    Just for fun: What major exercise goal do you have for 2014 and how will it impact your weight? I want to shoot for at least 5000 steps per day (hopefully more.) I will get up every class period for at least 10 minutes and walk. I will take a longer route to & from the cafeteria and other places on campus. I will not just chill out on the couch at night either.
    Good luck everyone. HAPPY 2014!! Let's DO IT!!

    Update 1/9/14: Been getting days over 5000 steps and days under. Doing better now that we are back at school. Been REALLY COLD here (like everywhere else in the country) so haven't got a lot of exercise and haven't felt the best the last couple of days. :sick: I know EXCUSES! EXCUSES! I have been doing a lot of extra work but just not moving a lot doing it. Last night while folding clothes I was walking around folding them and DH asked me what I was doing and I told him getting my steps in for the day. He laughed. :laugh:

    Just for fun: What major exercise goal do you have for 2014 and how will it impact your weight? My main exercise goal is to be able to run a 5k in May. We are in the dead of winter so I won't start running until March. I think that it will help my weight. It will be one more way for me to burn calories and stay on track.

    Not sure why, but it wasn't letting me edit my post.

    I just started this Dec 28, 2013. I have only lost 1 lb, but since my regular goal is 1 lb a week, I accomplished that! Yay, Me! Honestly, if I just lose 1 lb a month it's still 12 lbs lighter this time next year.

    @kt1219. Love your postive attitude. 12 lbs down in a year is darn good! Keep getting at it!

    Run for 60 minutes straight (increasing stamina) + lifting free weights and see the effects of doing this

    I restarted after the holidays. Started on January 2nd. Weighed in today and lost 3 pounds. I am very motivated to succeed this time. Would like to lose 20 pounds in order to be within a healthy BMI. Logging is the key and I will use this as my primary daily goal. Good luck to everyone!:laugh:

    Just for fun: What major exercise goal do you have for 2014 and how will it impact your weight? My big/long term goal is to get to a 10 minute mile; I'm currently at an average pace of 18:47. I've never been that fast (well not since high school and that was a long long long time ago). I'm breaking it down into smaller mini goals. My first goal is to get into the 15's. It will take me awhile because I need to lose a bit of weight before I start actually running. But a couple years ago, I was in the 14's. So I know I can do this.
