MISSDEEHERE'S ONE WEEK CHALLENGE~FOR SHORT TERM GOALS

I'm joining!
It's easier to stay motivated when you have to post your results :]
My goal for the week will be to lose 3 pounds and stay under my calorie goal each day!

made my goal last week...aiming for another 2 lbs for this week.

Happy Sunday, everyone!!! I am starting my new week positively and a goal of mine is to STAY positive, even faced with frustrations and obstacles. :flowerforyou: I've reached my negativity quota for the month with my bad week last week.

Anyways, my goals are:
1) Remain positive
2) Exercise for 200 minutes
3) Lose 3 pounds

Good luck on your goals everyone!

I am heading to a Red Sox kickoff party this afternoon. My best friend throws one every year. They haven't done well the first two games so let's see if they can pull a win today! The only problem, though, is that my friend makes THE BEST meatballs and kielbasa and is serving Fenway franks, pizza, popcorn, peanuts... all baseball type food. I am bringing a fruit platter and rice cakes as alternatives! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: oh the life of a healthy eater! I will have ONE meatball and a bite of the kielbasa but I need to stay away from everything else. As long as I maintain that mindset, I should do okay (and keep in mind what happened when I ate the carrot cake last week, I will DEFINITELY be okay)!

Have a good day everyone!

Spring break is this week. So my goals are simple. Do SOME SORT of exercise everyday, drink all my water, have fun, and don't gain weight! Not gaining any weight will be the hardest part. I plan on rollerblading next week, and I'm hoping this new form of exercise will confuse my body, and kick my metabolism up a bit! Taking my laptop with me so I can continue to log everyday.

Good luck everyone! Have a great inspiring successful week! XXX

:sad: I REALLY NEED A GOOD WEEK :sad:


:drinker: My goal this week is to exercise 100 minutes & stay under calories.
I still wanna have a nice losing week and hope to lose 2 pounds this week. I tried for 3 last week, and that didn’t work!

I need a good week too *hugs dee*

I really need at least 6 days gym class in a week I HAVE TO !!

my goal = 5 days of gym class

i had the same goal last week i went 4

Well ready to start another week! My goal for this week is to workout 200 mins and at least 12 miles. I have also been working on a 750 calorie deficit daily.
So let's do this girls!! Let's have a great week!

Me too on needing a good week, MissDee!!!!! I'm doing great with the eating part, but the exericising part isn't going too well. Since the weather hasn't cooperated the last two weeks, I haven't gotten outside, and also my pedometer really bit the dust this week, my goal is two-fold:

Buy a new pedometer
Record some kind of exercise every day.

SUNDAY - walked our 1.5 mile route in 30 minutes

45/200 today!

GREAT GOALS LADIES!!!!

Hey all i'm in again. I'm going to go big and have two goals. LOL!
Goal #1: No more MFP at night, I've been staying up WAY to late surfing. So shutting down early everynight.
Goal #2: This week Monday-Friday bring breakfast and lunch to work. Monay-Thursday eat at home.

I've been eating out a lot lately, so I want to try and regin that in and see it that helps get my daily totals back in line with my recommendations.

Have a great week ladies. Together we CAN DO THIS!!!

I might already break goal #2. The hubby wants to meet for lunch on Thursday he has two weeks left until he starts his new job. So small change. Smart choices when we eat lunch out

Have a great day everyone!

Love to join in. Need to keep under calorie & walk eveyday.

Well, I don't think I met any of my goals permanently last week. I lost 2 pounds, but it's all back. I didn't stay under on my calories, I exercised only half as much as I wanted to, and junk food was my friend :noway:

I'm still going to make some goals for myself though. Here they are:

1. Lose 2 pounds this week from my current 161.8, to put me under 160 and keep me under 160!
2. Stay at or below my calorie budget from Tuesday till the 9th (I already blew it for today, that's why I'm starting tomorrow)
3. Exercise at least 45 minutes each day from today till the 9th.
4. Do 3 assignments a day from Tuesday to the 9th, making a total of 15 assignments completed.
5. Cut out junk food (cookies, candy, pop, chips, pizza) from Tuesday to the 9th.

Great job today Suz and Kris! You guys are rocking the minutes!

Monday check in:

#1 Did not eat out today, brought my breakfast and lunch to work, and hubby made dinner. We also set a menu for dinner's this week, and hubby did the shopping which should make not eating out easier this week.

#2 I'm going to log off now and read my new book.

Hope everyone had a great Monday. Looking forward to a new day tomrrow!

Dee I could easily do your one week challenge. I already do everything on the list. Unlike everyone else I have consistent daily weight gains rather than losses. After 8 days on this site I'm over a pound heavier.

Hiya

Sad to hear that it isn't going well, I hope you have decided how you're going to progress from here. I just wanted to let you know that sometimes your body needs a few little 'tricks' to help it! I did a lot of reading to help me figure out how to effectively lose weight myself, so please understand that I haven't achieved my loss yet! I have made a good start though
1. Increase your metabolism by:
a) strength training for muscle, which burns energy even when you aren't using it. (Note your actual weight may increase as muscle weighs heaps)
b) sprints rather than endurance exercise
c) if you have a desk job, use your breaks for a brisk 10min walk, or run up the stairs!
2. Do eat oil, it helps you stick to your goal, lose weight (literally), and keep it off after (literally). Avoid fried foods like the plague and aim for raw oil, so you could choose mayonnaise you make yourself in your blender with healthy oil that was cold pressed. If this is too hard, cold pressed olive oil in your salad is fine.
3. Do supplement Calcium Magnesium, Flax seed oil and Vitamin E
4. Zig zag dieting is designed to avoid your body going into starvation mode. In practice, eat your maintenance calories 1 or 2 times a week (for me, a 31 year old female, this is approx 2000 calories, maybe yours is less?). Other days, the lower goal, but never lower than 1200 calories.
5. Do control your blood sugar by avoiding white carbohydrates like bread and pasta. If you are going to eat these, weigh them don't estimate.
6. Consider allergies or other medical problems - my friend found she was badly allergic to wheat and had stacked on a lot of weight and could only lose it with a lot of hard work; same story with another friend who has Polycystic Ovaries (benefits from blood sugar being stable).

Best of luck :flowerforyou:
