    Mine:
    2) read 40 books
    I need to set a goal to read less and move more! I just finished my 300th book! I read really quick, and hardly watch TV. But time spent reading is not time spent moving my body.

    So... less books and more biking is my first goal!

    Second goal is to finally hit my goal weight of 155#. I'm 20-22# away...

    My goals for this challenge are
    1- Log my snacks
    2- Exercise daily
    3- lose 5 lbs
  • You go!! The logging of every single bit of food in MFA has made a big difference for me. Since my phone is always with me, the food diary is so easy to use. I'm always cognizant of adding that little candy bar, or the orange that is mid-morning snack.
    I also use a Fitbit to track all my steps, my exercise, and it interfaces with MFA to track calories, measurements. It's made a big difference for me. When I weighed in this morning I was greeted with 226.0 lbs, which means that I lost 6 pounds this month! That's going to keep me going in 2015! So here's to the both of us having an amazing and successful new year.

    I wondered how accurate they were. I guess that would measure overall activity much better than guessing how to log your aerobics class, etc...

  • My resolutions are:
    1- lose another 40 or so pounds to get to my ideal weight
    2- maintain my weight once I get to it
    3- once the weather gets warmer(spring) to start taking a nightly walk to help with weight loss
    4- try to be an overall better person/mother/wife. I tend to be moody and short tempered. I need to work on that!

    My goals for this challenge are:

    1. Lose 4lbs. I know this isn't much but I have failed so much in the past few months that I am taking tiny steps towards getting back on track.
    2. Cut down on sugar intake, and cut out chocolate during the week.
    3. Go for a walk every day.

    For 2015, my goals are to lose more weight, declutter and try to get picked to take part in display dances with my Regency Dance group.

    Good luck with all your challenges and goals :)

    I decided to do monthly goals this year, but by Valentine's Day fits in. Mine are:

    1. Bring my lunch at least 4 days during the week (of 5).
    2. Cut out desserts/sweets at least for January (resetting after the holidays).
    3. Get at least 6 hours of sleep/night.
    4. Stick to my planned workout schedule, which includes incorporating at least one day/week of swimming, a regular strength training plan of 3 days/week, and using the winter to improve my bicycling.

    Some of my big goals for the year (I have ones in various other areas of my life too) are to get to my initial goal weight and BF%, to improve my strength (I haven't really set these goals yet, as I have to learn more before I know what's realistic), and to start doing triathlons again. Oh, and to have a decluttered house at the end of the year. That's the least realistic one, but worth a try!

    My overall goals for 2015 are:
    • Ideally lose 15-20 lbs. but the overall goal is to lose fat and gain muscle so if this means I weigh more, then so be it.

      I will accomplish this by:
      -Body Pump, Stronglifts 5x5, Yoga and some cardio
      -Drinking 8-10 glasses of water daily
      -Eating 80% clean and 20% dirty
      -Sleep 7-8 hours a night
      -Track my activities, food, etc with fitbit and MFP

    • Pay down debt.
      I will accomplish this by:
      -Creating a budget and sticking to it
      -Using the snowball method
      -Finding ways to generate income and/or save $

    • Be more organized.
      I will accomplish this by:
      -Setting goals and following through
      -Spending less time on frivolous time wasters
      -Taking it a task/challenge at a time until it becomes a habit and is ingrained
      -Setting timers and calendar reminders
      -Seeking accountability from my family if the above gets ignored

    I would also like to hike more 14ers, run more 5ks, and spend more time with people that I love and cherish.

    I love everyones goals. Some of these I may just have to work into mine.

    I know there are a lot of us on here that do hiking, walking, running so I wanted to point out a really cool app. Its called Resqwalk and is free. Its gps based so you just let it run in the background on your phone while you do your exercise and it logs your total miles for the animal rescue/shelter you pick. There is a weekly pot thats split between all the groups based on the total miles logged. Its a great way to also help the animals. Every little bit helps. I log mine for the New York Bully Crew which is the rescue I volunteer with.
