    Great goals so far everyone! :smile:

    I've spent the last couple of months working hard Monday to Friday, only to ruin it at the weekends so my goals are:

    1. Cut out alcohol
    2. Walk 10k steps every day (on average)
    3. Honest logging every day (I often don't log weekends!)

    Good luck everyone!

    #1: Stop ruining a good week with a mindless weekend! Vkr2q7 said the same thing above and this is going to be my big goal: To plan weekend meals and log food and exercise just like during the week.
    #2: Exercise at least 4 times per week for at least 30 minutes.
    #3: Significantly reduce carb intake. I'm not low carb crazy, but I need to get better at resisting bread...which leads to butter....or leads to olive oil and herbs.....or leads to cheese....Aargh!

    1. Stop eating after 8 pm (I get insane cravings around 10 pm)
    2. 15500 steps a day
    3. Track my food for the full month


    Does anyone else struggle with late night cravings?
    I could really use some people to keep me motivated :)

    I struggle with random cravings and giving into those cravings. I find tea really helps. There is also the strategy of keeping apples on hand, and when you get cravings just ask yourself if you eat an apple. If you're not truly hungry, you probably won't eat it. Poor apples.

    Hi everyone,

    This is a great post. In the past I've had a 'go big or go home' mentality to weight loss. It worked well in the beginning, but the weight never stayed off. It was too big a lifestyle change too quickly. The weight always came back with a few extra pounds for company. This time I'm focused on small changes that I can make part of my life. That said, here are my September small changes:

    1) limit of 3 units of alcohol per week
    2) take my lunch to work 3 days per week
    3) burn a minimum of 1200 calories per week in exercise.

    Wish me luck!

    Wow! All these no alcohol goals! Living and dating in New Orleans, that is really, really hard. I like the idea but I think I need to be more realistic (for me). I'm going through some big life changes, so I really need to start small, so mine are below.

    1. No more than 3 drinks per week
    2. Drink 8 glasses of water daily
    3. Log daily

    Please feel free to add me!

    1) Pack my lunch and snacks every day! I want to spend $0 while at work, except in case of emergency (or if I forget my lunch, or get super hangry)
    2) Don't keep beer in the house. If I want some, I'll have to make the (semi-obnoxious and mosquito-laden) trek to the nearest pub, and then spend $6 a pop, which I won't do
    3) Get more sleep! I only got 6 hrs last night and woke up feeling like death. I can do better.
    4) Log, log, log. If I don't know the exact count, log estimates.

    So here's my goals for September
    1. Reduce/Cut down my Coke 0% intake to only occasional
    2. Start working out I'm the morning (Yoga and couch to 5k) and the afternoon keeping doing Insanity
    3. Learn how to make more healthy food ( new recipe )
    4. Maybe change my last meal to a smoothie
    5. Get up early enough to have 5 meal a day

    Its all I can think of right now, but I'll try to do all those ~

    I'm super impressed with everyone's goals. Maybe writing mine down will
    make them a little more tangible.
    1. Continue logging everyday
    2. Work out 3 days per week for at least 45 minutes
    3. Scale back my alcohol consumption to only social events. I work in a bar so there is always pressure to do shots with customers or have drinks after my shift. Not this month!

    What a great idea for a post!

    My September goals are:

    1. Log my food and water on MFP M-F (I'm busy every weekend this month and it doesn't make sense to try and log my food)
    2. Exercise 4 times a week. With the exercise, to also change it up. (I'm thinking of making a calendar to keep track!)
    3. Try a new recipe.
    4. Try a new exercise.

    My food and water habits are pretty good, so my goals are more exercise related and keeping myself accountable on here.

    Good luck to everyone!
