I'll give it a shot:
Goals for the month
1) Keep logging food daily, but measure it and try to be more accurate in the log
2) Exercise daily, either walking the dog, or even better riding my bike if the weather cooperates
3) See the scale move (downwards
) It's been stuck for a long time
4) Do something creative every day - write a story, paint a picture, or make some jewlery

So how did you all do in the first week, let us know. It's all about the small steps!0

My goals for April
- Lose 7 pounds - I've hit a plateau and I am going to beat it!
- Increase my exercise to 5 workouts/week - work on increasing my back strength
- Eating healthier - purchase my produce and prep it for the week each Saturday - I make better choices when it's prepped and ready to grab
- Make at least one new friend on MFP each week
Here's how I did in week #1- Lost 4.5 pounds - crushed that plateau, great start for the month
- Didn't do so great here, 3 workouts, need to improve
- Prepped all my produce and I'm good until Sat.
- With all of the new members here, I added 3 new special friends

I'm in. Here are my goals:
1. Find two breakfasts that meet my goal of protein, carb, and fat (I've found one)
2. Regroup and recommit to the Mediterranean diet I've been following (with bumps)
3. Lose at least 6 inches from chest, tummy, hips, thighs
4. Lose 4 pounds
5. Continue to exercise: M, W, at MetSyn clinic. Thursday, Saturday, brisk 40 minute walk, elliptical and circuit training Friday. Add yoga to one day, Sunday or Tuesday.
Here's how I did:
1. Found two breakfasts that meet my goal of protein, carb, and fat. Mini frittata and toast for one, and baked omelet and cereal.
2. I am doing very well in keeping track of my food, and that is helping me recommit to the Mediterranean diet. Easter was kind of rough, but it's over.
3. Lost an inch, but I won't measure again until April 26.
4. Lost just over 1 pound
5. Doing fab on the exercise, did a bit of yoga on Tuesday.
Keeping these goals for the month.0 -
I did not have a sugar binge, in spite of Easter. I did not gain any weight, in spite of Easter, (I am on maintenance), I did weights twice this week. so far, so good.0

Well I did pretty good! I'm being careful with my logging and I stopped counting my exercise calories and finally lost 2 lbs this week!
I may have figured out why I was stuck, now I need to stick with it.0 -
So we're two weeks in, the month is half over - how is everyone doing with their goals?0

I did better this week with 2 & 3. I kept up my scrupulous tracking streak (#1) yay! I did finally cook two new recipes - a pork/cornmeal skillet creation (high in protein but meh) & a chicken/quick-barley chili that uses leftover roast chicken (delish!) I wrote in my gratitude journal only intermittently so will try to improve on that front.0 -
iamfashion excellent job keeping on top of your goals. Writing things down is a superb way of keeping us focused. Love your username.0

I am a bit late for April.....but count me in for May.
I love the goals though - has given me ideas.
I recently posted about rewards for weight loss and it would be really good to see members from this site get in there and contribute......It was my first thread! Wow! Look at the nag over the first hurdle!
