MISSDEEHERE'S ONE WEEK CHALLENGE~FOR SHORT TERM GOALS
FOCUSING ON ONE WEEK AT A TIME, WHEN THE BIG PICTURE SEEMS TOO OVERWHELMING.......

FOR THE WEEK OF: MARCH 13 to MARCH 19, 2011

i'M LOSING AGAIN!! As is many who participated. You can too!!

My goal for the new week starting today is to EXERCISE for 120 minutes. I am lazy and need to try to make exercise a part of my daily routine. So I am sticking with exercise.

If you want to join me, PLEASE support me, and I will support you.
Who would like to make a 1 week pact with me of what YOU need to work on?
ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT NEED TO LOSE MORE THEN 50 POUNDS OR THOSE HAVING DIFICULTY.


Focus on just this one week and commit to either.....
examples (may be changed to fit your need)

1. Lose 1 or 2 pounds this week, and post how & results by next Sunday

2. Exercise 100 minutes (or your choice) this week, and post how & results by next Sunday

3. Journal daily, and post how & results/menu by next Sunday

4. Maintain my current weight, and post how & results by next Sunday

5. Choose your own that you have the most problems with, and post how & results by next Sunday


REMEMBER I ONLY WANT YOU TO PICK ONE THING FOR MY 1 WEEK CHALLENGE.

“Set new short-term goals. When you feel you've mastered the previous short-term goals you set for yourself, create some new ones. Remember this is a journey, not a destination. Accomplishing any goal, whether it's weight loss or anything else in life, requires a lifelong commitment. You will always have to set new goals and work on new areas even when you accomplish your big long-term goals.”


Thank you and you may friend me if you like. I am fairly new here, but I have been following Weight Watchers old CORE program, and can do well following good eating habits........... as long as I don't stray away. ;-)


Anyone joining me for another week, or a first week?

Good Luck to ALL!!


THIS IS A NEW WEEK!

    I'M IN FOR ANOTHER WEEK!!


    I DID make my goal of 120 minutes of exercise, but only because I counted my moving & packing time.

    I am gonna stay with 120 minutes next week, and hope I get it in through walking or exercise.


    I did have a loss again this week so now I am up to 10 pounds plus gone. YEA!!!!!



    I seem to have problems tracking everyone, so I will just leave it up to you to post goals & results. Then I don't embarrass those that join and can't keep up. Or embarrass myself not to remember everyone. LOL


    I thank you all so much for support & encouragement!!

    The NEW people are always welcome!! Feel free to friend me!!


    GOOD LUCK & HAVE FUN REACHING GOALS!!

    I'm in. 7-day stretch this time, instead of the 5-day i let myself get away with last week. due to new restrictions, my goal this week will be to do at least 1 workout DVD every day, with 2 on 2 days.

    lol i will NOT let my husband's amusement at my awkwardness get in my way again!

    I'm in. Am trying to lose 40-50 pounds but taking it it 20lb increments so it won't seem ao overwhelming. Have been trying to reduce my carbs/sugars and up my fiber & protein while not consuming too much fat. That coupled with daily exercise and has helped me lose 2lbs in five days.

    I am finding just how dificult both of these can be. The sodium for me is not bad as long as I stay away from processed foods ......AND CHICK- FILA!!! LOL bUT EVEN THAT hot sauce THAT i LOVE, IS loaded WITH SODIUM.

    tHE SUGAR IS THE WORSE!! even if it is natural. i think they are set very low................. or else I just like sugar! LOL

    Good Luck!

    Yeah I know! They are really tough! Last week I was over sugar after breakfast! So I'm really going to focus on sugar. But keep an eye on both.

    Made both goals last week but have had a few slip-ups since...so my goal is just going to be to lose a pound this week! :) Getting over the flu has seriously messed up my working out and I've must been eating whatever I want when I'm actually hungry and that's NOT a good thing! lol

    Hi everyone! My name is Suzanne, I am 29 years old and I have a lot of weight to shed. I started my new diet/exercise program on Monday and also joined MFP on Monday. If I losein small increments and focus on the short term goals, I think I will do just fine. That's why this thread will be so perfect for me!

    My goal is to do 150 minutes of exercise this week, 3/13 to 3/19.

    I just completed the Walk at Home 1 mile and MAN, I feel out of shape but I feel great that I got up and did it. There's 25 minutes already! :)

    I want in.
    1) Log under my calorie intake goal every day.
    2) AT LEAST 45 minutes of workout every day.

    Been here six days, haven't lost anything so far. Maybe this will give me a good jumpstart. :)

    I'm back in. I made my goal last week, and think that I will keep it at 150 minutes of exercise this week. I will be leaving for the weekend (Sat. through Tues.) so I'm not likely to check in on Sunday. Here we go! We can do this! Go team!!

    Dee!!!! You are really rockin' it. What a great job you are doing. I am joining you this week. I would like to get in 160 minutes of exercise this week. I still can't weigh in but exercise always makes me think that I'm getting somewhere.

    Have a great week.

    I am in once again.... I am going to set my MFP goal at 250 mins at least 6 days working out, do JM Shred every day this week... Maybe not Tuesday as that is my 12hr day at work this week.. and NOT eat ALL my exercise calories. My NON-MFP goal will be to reorganize my pantry by Saturday without staying up all night to do it like I did with last weeks Non-MFP goal hahaha. I know your not asking for NON MFP goals but this way it makes me do something that REALLY needs to be done around the house.
