    Hi Everyone! This is probably my second post-ever on MFP. Up until now I have been a lurker... :) I have decided that to be successful I need to use the support system along with the food tracking.

    >My goals for the next 4 weeks are:

    >Drink water! There are some days that I don't drink ANY! My ultimate goal is to drink 80 oz a day but over the next 4 weeks, if I at least drink 40, I will be happy.

    >Exercise at least 3 days a week.

    >Log EVERYTHING!

    >Plan my food so I know exactly what I am going to eat everyday. No bad choices that way!!

    I don't really have a weight loss goal. If I can get these things listed above done, I know that the weight will come off. :)

    Good luck everyone!!

    I'm pretty new to MFP, and to losing weight in general. This is the first time I've been unhappy with the body tot he point of being motivated to lose weight. I've gained 10lbs in the course of a year, and I'd love to lose that while adopting a healthier lifestyle that doesn't involve night time snacking.

    My goals:
    Keep working on the C25k, I have asthma and I really want to do this!
    Lose 7lbs
    STOP SNACKING IN THE EVENING
    Stay within calorie range.

    CW ~ 180 :noway:

    GW ~ 130 :heart:

    I'm new to MFP and really like it. I started out okay and then had two bad days of eating horribly. This is my typical MO. Eat well and am really motivated for a while...... then fall and eat junk.

    My Goals for the next four weeks:

    Eat clean food
    Stay on track.....and if I mess up don't let it ruin the WHOLE DAY and keep eating junk!
    Try intermittent fasting. eat 8 ~ fast 16
    Lose 8 pounds in 4 weeks!
    DRINK more water!

    Hey!

    My current weight is 205 lbs.

    My goal weight is 160-170 lbs.

    Ways I plan to improve myself: Drink A LOT less soda, & A LOT more water. Start walking again. Visit the gym at least 3 times a week. Dance more with my kids.

    I'd be happy losing 5 lbs a month, but I suppose 10 lbs would be a great challenge too.

    I want to lose most of my baby fat by the time we move in August 2014.

    Hi, I'm Amanda. My goal is to not really lose weight (although it can't hurt), but rather to tone up and eat better. Ever since I got married in October, my workouts have suffered dramatically. I plan to get back in the swing of things without overdoing it. I hurt my back not too long ago paining, packing, moving boxes, and unpacking into our new house.

    CW: 127 lbs
    GW: 115 - 120 lbs

    My current daily plan of action:
    walk 30 minutes daily
    track what I'm eating
    100 sit-ups (back pain permitting)
    25 push-ups
    no soda (1 can weekly)
    no elevator (stairs only)

    #1 Log into My Fitness Pal Daily
    #2 Visualization of desired lifestyle changes ( Visualize eating healthy, walking the dog, being active--wearing that swim suit I love--looking great on the beach)
    #3 Meditation Daily
    #4 Re-Stock my Kitchen to reflect a healthy diet.
    #5 Keep up on my vitamins and water intake

    Overall be consistent!
    The weight will come off with a proper lifestyle. It would be nice to loose at least 10 pounds this month and considering I am just starting I don't find that unreasonable but any weight loss is great for me! (:wink: secretly I would really love to drop it by :heart: Valentines Day:heart: )

    hello all,

    Am new here, and this may help to start off:

    start the Runner World beginner running program
    Walk the dog down to the lake : Every. Single. Day. (lake is 1 km downhill - very steep...)
    increase swim pace and swim 3 times a week
    Replace breakfast with one big green juice at least 5 days a week
    eat fish 3 times a week
    cut down on cheese
    and hopefully loose 4 pounds (have about 50 to go but know by past experience than for me losing more than that means putting it back up - have lost 12 pds in one year and never seen them back....)
