    Thank you so much Joan. This was a big help for me in January and I know everyone here will keep me going in February. Just for today (tonight really) I will listen to you all and not get an evening snack. I'm pretty sure I'm just thirsty and I only think I should eat.

    Day is almost over and just saw this but will post what my goals were: just for today-- make it to 5 mins jogging on mini tramp at one time (from 4 two days ago). Made it!
    Spend time playing in snow with my family-had snowball fight this afternoon.
    Hit my step goal of 10300. (Not yet)
    Stay under my calorie goal (looking great and even have room for a nice snack yet).
    See you all tomorrow!

    I can be doing everything right all day and then binge if I'm up too late. "Just for Today" I will get out of range of the kitchen at 10:00 P.M. or shortly after and forget about food.

    Well done, me! Do it again.

    I just came across this and am so glad. I am going to try AGAIN to get my act together and lose weight. I need some accountability, maybe this will help me stay motiviated. I need to lose 36 pounds. I need to exercise and I need to stay positive about the goal. I AM IN>
    goal today is a 3 mile walk and to record my food.
    Thanks for starting this.

    Yesterday, Feb 1st
    1. Drink water - minimum of 8 glasses :\
    2. Drink water in the evenings, as this is my hardest time :\
    3. Focus on the positive, not the negative. 2 years ago I was close to 220 lbs. :)
    4. Go for a walk, or if snowing, get on my ellipitical. :\


    NOT the best weekend for me - I got my walking in saturday, but sunday was a gloomy, rainy day, and I hate to admit it, but totally fell off the program. Ate too much while watching the superbowl. But, today is a new day

    Just for today, 2/2
    1. It is very cold out today, 17 degrees. But later today, get on the ellipitical for minimum of 30 minutes. Even though it is cold, no excuses
    2. Log everything I eat, even if I go over
    3. Drink more water, especially in the evenings when I tend to want to graze more.

    Just For Today, Fed 2nd:

    1. Log everything, no matter the end result
    2. Get my water in, goal is 12 cups
    3. No work snacking, always have some sort of food

    Have 194 pounds to lose as my ultimate goal, would like to lose 20 this month. Would love some friends for the journey (daily and long term).

    Feb 1 I achieved my calorie goals and exercise goals. Feb 2 weigh-in: no change, but I measured my body fat for the first time in a couple of weeks and it shows a definite change. I'm never quite sure about the body fat because I feel like it's a bit subjective about how I put the tape around my belly and what my posture is. I'm thinking about buying the Aria scale. Any thoughts?

    1. Do elliptical for 30 minutes :)
    2. log everything I eat :)

    Getting on the elliptical didn't hurt my foot. In fact, walking Saturday, elliptical Sunday, an no added foot pain. Feeling pretty good about that! I can back into the swing of things. I overate yesterday....Superbowl and all. But I logged it all, so that is a step in the right direction.

    Just for Today 02/02:
    1. log everything I eat
    2. do 10 minutes of positive meditation

    Today is my 12 hour work day, so I'm not going to push myself on doing too much. I'm barely awake right now and still have 11 hours to go...

    Early day today, did not get time to visit til now. I'm doing pretty well staying calm during the early February work craziness.

    Taking time to post tomorrows goals now before I forget.

    Just for Today February 3

    1. log or at least write down everything I eat
    2. Keep water at my desk and be sure to keep drinking
    3. Take time to enjoy the moment and see the humor at work, even if the stress level is increasing. I've survived this before, I can do it again.


    Good night everyone! Have a good Tuesday.
