Woo hoo! This is so super helpful. My JFT yesterday was to log my food for the first time (in a long, long time), and come in around my calorie goal. And I did it! I woke up super, super happy today. And I even exercised yetserday, which is a total plus. My other JFT yesterday was to make sure I logged on today. And here I am. Day #2. Happy about that. So my JFT is: -to log food again all day today
-to cook something for the week for dinner and count calories so I can log it later
-make lunches for the week and log them
-go to the gym seriously. seriously.
-go for a longer walk with the canine
-and, of course, to remind myself tonight to log on tomorrow before I go to work
GREAT JOB!!!!0 -
I woke up this morning with a renewed commitment. I am only 15 lbs from being out of being considered "overweight" . I don't want to go backwards, which is what usually happens. So I am again committed to keep this up until I reach that goal - no matter how long it takes!
So JUST FOR TODAY
1. I will once again log everything I eat - no matter what. Even if I am embarassed (as I was yesterday with the 3 ice cream drumsticks). I will be accountable.
2. I will get out and go for another nice long walk, before the cold weather gets here
3. I will work harder at drinking more water
4. If I want to grab something to eat, I will instead grab a stick of chewing gum.
Good luck everyone!0 -
I love this idea! I have been on and off with MFP for over a year. Today, I start all over.
So.... JUST FOR TODAY....
1.) I will start logging my food.
2.) I will not turn on the TV and plop down in front of it until 7PM.
3.) I will plan my meals for the week.
This will be a very difficult holiday season for me since I lost my mom in July. She was my motivation. She is the one that was my "Good for you" cheerleader. It is time to start doing things for me... making myself feel good and caring about what I look like again. So, just for today.0 -

Happy Monday to all! Hopefully, we see more people on here now that the weekend is over
JFT - I will log and stay within my calorie budget.
That's all I can give today. Every other Monday is a long workday for me, and I struggle with getting in exercise as well as sticking to healthy eating. When you're tired, everything is harder.0 -

Glad I found this thread. It's inspired me! I've decided to do two JFTs each day....one related to weight loss, and the other a personal goal. Extra long to-do lists stress me out, but I think this is do-able!
1. Just for today, I will log all my foods.
2. Just for today, I will be more patient with the kids!
(Twin 4 y.o.s and a 2 y.o - mornings and bedtimes can get crazy...but if Mommy keeps her cool, it's soooooooooooo much better!)
I love the idea of having one for weight loss, and one for personal goal. What a great idea!
I also love this idea!
JFT: I not snack AFTER 7 pm
JFT: I WILL start crocheting again tonight! I started a blanket about 6 months ago but been crazy busy with work! Hey, now I have lots of time, yay for me!!!!

Wow Joan, this idea is an inspiration. I'm sitting here mentally complaining that I'm at my highest weight ever and its not going anywhere. I think I'd like to try this Just for today and see if I can help myself overcome my mindless over eating one day at a time. So even though its already 7:50pm here I will do a Just for today for the rest of tonight. I will drink 2 glasses of water and stay out of the last of the girls Halloween candy. And come back again tomorrow morning to make a fresh start.0

JFT - I will log and stay within my calorie budget.
I logged everything. I did not stay within my calorie budget. Had a bit of a binge episode tonight. However, I am making progress because I did log my binge. Usually, I would hide it. "Baby steps, Bob"
Good night all. See you tomorrow.
