    Honestly, I have other things I do besides staying within my calorie goal, working out, and walking the dogs! It's just those are my daily goals. Yeah, let's go with that. LOL. This thread is making me self-conscious.

    :star: There is no need to feel self-conscious or justify your goals here. You choose how you make this work to help your progress. :star:

    I will stay within my calorie goal and not overindulge.
    I will express my wellness mantra.
    I will go for a walk this afternoon if I'm feeling better.
    I will have more patience
    I am expressing gratitude for a good month in the stock market. 116 months until retirement

    Slug day, sat on the couch wallowing in my cold.
    Expressed my wellness mantra but didn't work out.
    Believe my lovely bride would say I didn't exhibit much patience.
    Over my calorie goal for the day but not by much.

    For today:

    Will take it easy but have to get out of the house at some point.
    I will express my wellness mantra.
    I will stay within range of my calorie goal and beat the goal on average for the week.
    I will have patience for my lovely bride who is only trying to help me when I'm sick.
    I am expressing gratitude for the wonder of Halloween experienced by little kids. My wife handed out the candy and loved seeing the costumes and pure joy from the little ones.

    Happy Sunday everyone
    I sure could use some prayers for my sister-in-law. Breast Cancer can hit any one of us. Surgery tomorrow and beginning the road to recovery.

    JFT, 10/31

    :) 1. Stay within maintenance calories. Have a dinner tonight with friends so am upping my calories a bit today to accommodate.
    :) 2. Get in a good workout - at least 300 calories burned - for some added cushion.
    :) 3. Walk the dogs.

    Good day yesterday. A bit heavy on the wine but stayed within my maintenance calories (or at least what MFP says is maintenance).

    JFT, 11/01

    1. Stay within calorie goal
    2. Walk the dogs
    3. Get in 10k steps - no workout today
    4. Pack for travel tomorrow

    4. I have committed to walk and/or jog at least 5 miles 6 days a week during the month of November. I met that goal today so I am 1/30 so far. I will do the same tomorrow by jogging after work or doing some treadmill at the gym.

    JFT
    I feel like I haven't been on JFT in so long & oh how I've strayed!!
    Maintain caffeine free choices.
    I'm going back to basics in order to get back on track.

    Walk/Pilates
    Grocery shop, stock up on veggies.
    Drink 9 cups of water.
    Read something for inspiration.
    Looking into donating some of our Halloween candy.
    Will not eat any chocolate.
    Listen to body-have a stubborn cold so I'll take a rest today.
    Put myself back on the "list".

    Have a good start to the week everyone!

    Decent day.

    Slightly over my calorie goal but beat it on average for the week.
    I lost 8.2# on the week but in perspective, 5.4# over the past three
    Didn't work out, was a couch slug with a cold. For the week worked out 4:56 including 6.55 miles of walking.
    I am expressing gratitude for the Over 50 Support group I was in the past several months. It was my first effort at peer support and while the group is much more focused on maintenance the experience was great.

    Hi everyone, I was looking for a boost and I found this group. So just for today:
    1). No sweets unless it's fruit
    2). Keep each macro within 5 percentage points

    Have a great day, and thanks,

    1. Stay close to maintenance calories - In SF for the next four days so will be having a lot of provided meals. Make good food and drink choices.
    2. Well, it's finally raining here so I'm not sure about the 10k steps that I was planning on getting! I'll try to be as active as possible.

    JFT 11/02:
    Focus in on the "diet" portion of working on weight.. I will try to keep my fat intake within my macro. I have 9 left to go after lunch so I'll have to make really good choices for the remainder of the day to do it.

    @pierportbeach: #2 is a great goal..not quite there yet but one I think I need to work toward.

    Bravo on a wonderful thread.

    Just for today, I will....
    Quit after 4 cups of coffee
    Drink at least 4 bottles of water
    Pre-log everything
    Make (and drink) smoothies for 2 meals
    Not eat that leftover pizza
    Freeze the leftover pizza
    Log any extras
    Complete at least 80% of my daily to-do list
    Try to be asleep by midnight

    Nope. Only stuck to 4 of those things and not eating the pizza was not one of them. Yesterday wasn't horrible, though. Today is a new day, new goals.

    Just for today, I will....


    Pre-log as much as I can
    Stick to it
    Add any extras
    Drink 4 bottles of water
    Weight train for a minimum of 10 mins
    40 min walk tonight
    Complete 80% to do list
    Make smoothie before going out
    Stick to two bite rule for unhealthy foods
    Take new measurements

    A new month is here - the month of November!! Its a month filled with temptations - thanksgiving day, with pies, etc., baking for christmas, etc. It is usually these 3 months (Oct-Dec) where I seem to gain weight. But this year will be different. I can enjoy the holiday, without gaining weight.
    So for the month of november, these are my goals. I'm going to see if I can meet these goals.

    Starting weight was 200.8 (before the 2lb gain over the weekend with grandkids here, but hoping those 2# will come off quickly). So for the month of November, I hope to end the month at 195.

    Exercise 3-4 times a week, no matter how busy.

    Keep a positive attitude!

    Log on here everyday with my JFT commitments. It is what keeps me going!

    Encourage at least 1 person every day. Studies have shown that when we encourage others, we actually help ourselves!

    So what goals do you guys have for this month! I hope one of the goals is to continue to come here and post - as you guys keep me going as well!!

    I heard about some dentist who is willing to pay cash for candy and then donating the candy to troops. Was on some news station.
