I want to join too.. my short term goal is to start getting some form of physical activity in everyday. Long term goal is to lose 15 KGs from my current 85 to a 70.
Goal for today:
1. drink plenty of water
2. try to get at least 10k steps in
3. be below calorie goal
4. actually achieve the set goal...
Failed on each and every goal mentioned above.. except the water thing. so the goals for today remain the same. they will remain the same till I actually achieve them
Nailed them all yesterday.. 11005 steps, 26 cals below goal intake logged every single thing and had plenty of water (more than 3 lit). going to continue with same goals for rest of the week.
1. drink plenty of water
2. try to get at least 10k steps in

- Log everything I eat
- No unhealthy snacks Failed with this one - had a mince pie to make myself feel like it's still Christmas....

Today's commitments:
1. No sugar

Really like this idea. Today -
1. Have already planned my meals. three healthy, balanced meals, no added sugar, whole grains only.
2. Will get the laundry finished and put away.
3. Will do SOME housework, lol.1 -
Monday's goals:
1. Exercise
2. Set up exercise plan for first 3 months
3. Catch up on work
4. Log all my food
Today I will:
- Do my planned workout
- reach my protein target
- track all my food
- Set priorities for the week and month2 -
Yesterday
1. log all food
2. drink water -- I am trying to drink water each time I am in the kitchen -- just jugging down a glass of water each time - no ice. This seemed to help me.
3. no exercise today, so eat as healthy as I can Suffering from a bad cold, so skipped going to the gym or doing anything yesterday.
4. get back on here tomorrow
Yesterday was a good day, despite the fact that I am coming down with a cold. I got my water in, which for me is really hard to do. Each time I walked into the kitchen, I just chugged down a large glass of water - no ice. I think this might work for me to get into this habit.
I did eat more in the evening that I wanted to (popcorn again!), but since I ate lighter for lunch and breakfast, I was OK.
So another day .... one day at a time!
JFT, 1/4
1. drink water each time I walk into the kitchen - aim for minumum of 6 glasses
2. log ALL food - no matter what
3. DO NOT WEIGH MYSELF! This is hard for me, because after 1 or 2 good days I want to weigh myself. But if the scale is not down, I tend to get discouraged. So I am going to try and only weigh on sunday mornings, and no matter what the scale says, do not get discouraged
4. do some sewing! I have been without my machine since after xmas. Hopefully it will be finished today, and I can pick it up, and get back to sewing.
5. Encourage at least one person on this thread.
I hope everyone has a great day today. We can all do this, one day at a time!2 -

January is always a hard time for me as well ...... Christmas is over, and its so cold out, and gloomy. Listening to Christmas music is a good idea .... think I will do that today also!

I want to participate too! Just for today my goals are:
1. Track everything!

Great idea!
I haven't weighed myself in 4 months. We moved from Boston to Washington and the majority of our stuff is in storage as we currently are staying with my husband's family until we get our feet back on the floor, which is soon as I start my new job next Monday! Unfortunately we ate like complete crap in the last 4 months and my body is paying for it, I went a size up!
I have been watching my calorie intake for a week now, and drinking only water. I already feel better. My goal for January is to complete the rest of the month without drinking alcohol.
My goal for today
1. Log everything.
2. Stay within calorie limit.
2. Drink 8 glasses of water.
3. Play with my pup for at least 30 min1 -
Hi everyone,
I started my journey 12/26/16 and down 34 pounds ( was 40 before the holidays..) Slow and steady for me, constantly reminding myself this is a marathon and not a sprint.
Today
1. I will do at least 30 minutes on my indoor bike or elliptical.
2. I will walk on both of my 10 minute breaks at work.
3. I will not eat back exercise calories.
4. I will drink at least 6 cups of water. (that is a lot for me, I usually only get down 3, or less..)
Good luck to everyone!!
