    I stuck with my goals this year for the whole year and lost 30lbs, it's the longest I've maintained and not gone back to old habits, it's really a different lifestyle at this point and I'm pumped to keep up the momentum

    • Continue logging and losing around 0.5 lb per week until I hit my goal
    • don't gain weight while I house-hunt and move

    Let's see.. Goals.. maintain my weight (or at leas keep it under 190) and build more muscle. I've already lost the weight, and have done a good job of maintaining, so what's left is gaining muscle and strength without screwing up my hard work. One other goal I have in 2017 is to run a 5k. I came close this year, so I think I'll get it done.

    Strategies: I'm hovering slightly above maintenance until likely the end of January watching the weight closely and intensifying body weight training. In February I'll drop slightly below maintenance again for a month or two to try and drop my body fat down to 10% or slightly less. After that I'll consider a slight bulk. So 17 is going to be more of a recomp year for me.

    I'd love to reach my goal weight in 2017. I have about 34 lbs left to get to my ultimate goal so it should be do-able. I really need to start going to the gym more regularly. I need to branch out and start trying new things at the gym, maybe a bootcamp class, swimming laps, or finally talk myself into starting a lifting program. I'm an introvert and I don't like asking for help so I've never ventured into the weights section of my gym. I've never been a runner but I'd like to give it a try and see if it's something I like. My best friend and her son want me to start running 5Ks with them. And, if I get really motivated (or crazy), there is a women only sprint triathlon in August. I'll just have to make sure the road bike I'm working on restoring is ready in time to train.

    I lost 18-20 lbs this year. It keeps fluctuating back up...ugh holidays. Hoping to be at a solid 20 by the 31st. I have another 35lbs to go in 2017.

    My motivation...my boyfriend is going to ask me to marry him very soon...and I am not going to let myself go dress shopping until I hit that number.

    I am thinking about trying yoga this year. I don't know if it will help me lose weight, but I think it will be good for me.

    Pasta/starch only 1x per week (spaghetti squash is the best pasta replacement)
    7000 steps min each day (unless sick or hurt)
    Drink 48 ounces per day
    No snacks over 150 calories...though not snacking at all would be better.
