My goal for April is to get below 90kgs. I have about 4kgs to go, after losing 20 so far. Not sure if it is achieveable but definitely going to give a go.

My main goal for the next quarter is to get under 70kg, lower my fat % and increase muscle.
I have never much been into paying much attention to my body shape, but would like to start sculpting my body a little bit more.
I have recently transitioned to a Paleo lifestyle, all is going well and I am feeling the best I have in a really long time!
I am not sure if this Paleo thing will stick, but for now I am content without the dairy and Grain.
Long term goals - Id like to get into the Ultramarathon scene. I hope to be Relaying with a couple of crazy people next year at Tarawera

I'm trying not to be focused on numbers, and my main goals are to be fit, healthy... and comfortable in clothes!!! My mid term goal is we are heading to the islands in Jan/Feb next year and I want to be swimsuit ready (never been a bikini girl) Working on clean eating and loving it so far.

For me, I'm going to take a rest week then jump into Stage 5 of NROLFW. I'm going to try and drink more water today than yesterday and go for a walk at lunch to help the ol' muscles

What is NROLFW when it's at home? I am new to this site and the acronyms are like :noway:

Pretty impressive weight loss btw psych101. It's obvious your systems are working for you!

I want to get under 80 kg, wear size 14, and have more energy. To do that I need to put more unprocessed food into my diet. If I could persuade hubby to help that would be a huge advantage since he does most of the food shopping. Any suggestions?

Just as an update, my hubby has been fantastic so far - he usually does most of the cooking but he has been really respectful of my diet and approach (not that he would willingly ever eat raw muesli!) and has been helping by cooking lots of steamed veges and he brings me a cup of herbal tea every morning in bed. This is the first time he has genuinely supported my weight loss goals (previously he just made fun of what I ate).

What I am not so sure is around what is realistic for me as a weight goal. I have been mainly over 80 kg ever since my second child about 20 years ago. My lightest ever was around 54kg back when I was 19 and doing a huge amount of weight lifting and other strength and cardio activity. I don't think I could get down to 54 kg and whether it would be even possible or whether it would even look that good on me re loose skin etc. I may be better off if I get to half way (around 70 kg) from my starting weight (88 kg) and just stabilise there for a while (I used to be 109 kg so its still a big drop overall). I think I will reset my goal to this but any suggestions?

Mullycath - great goals! I really enjoyed doing 30 day shred - though Jillian got super annoying and it really peeved me off that the advanced girl cheats when Jillian isn't looking haha

I'm only on Level 1 but already the repetition of the voice annoys me so I just do it with the sound down.... LOL

My June goals are to find a new lifting programme - I recently completed New Rules of Lifting for Women and ordered the Supercharged version. I'm going to keep my calories where they are for now. Am thinking of increasing them slightly as I'm getting a bit hungrier lately. See how we go

Awesome, am dead keen to get into some lifting but working on losing weight first and doing cardio and at home strength work until I hit some goals in that dept.

Have also decided that I will give up alcohol all month (eek, I love a few drinks but at least its a pretty non-social month). I think that will be the hardest for me to stick to!

New to MFP and Im here to *Catch up*. My children are older now, so its time to concentrate a little more on me. I have type two diabetes, genetically predisposed to it, and I have just started medication in the hope that my health will strengthen as I lose weight and get fitter. So far, so good. Im just feeling my way along. Will be a daily user as I find the food diary helpful.

Now that we are close to a new month, it is time for me to set some goals!

My goals for the month of August will be:

1. Get under 85 kgs
2. Get a gym membership
3. Exercise 3 times a week
4. Stick to the foods I say I'm going to eat for the day
5. Try not to be too hard on myself


What are everyone else's goals for August?

Hi all.

Great idea setting monthly goals!

Goals for August are:

1. maintain the momentum gained by doing Dry July and keep my consumption down to weekends if at all
2. Undo the damage done over the past two months (continued celebration of getting married through eating whatever I feel like and not logging)
3. Gym at least 3 times a week
4. Lose 2kgs
5. Complete my squat challenge (250 in a row)

Are we checking back in at the end of the month to report on how we did?

Back in for August! June was a success and July was a washout.... So my August goals are pretty much same as my June goals:

- no drinking for the month;
- Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred plus biking to work and running two/three times a week
- log log log and stick to daily cals
- PLUS get back into my uni study and stick to it (without bingeing at the same time!)

This should, once again, result in a loss on the scales and around the waist and getting my general wellbeing and energy levels back on track!

Oh and I might go on a blind date....LOL

How are we going on our goals?
