My August Goals:

Drink at LEAST 9-10 glasses of water a day.
No alcohol during the week and limited on weekends.
Cut breads, pastas, brown rice etc down to 1-2x a week.
No sweets or junk food.
Eat 5-6 smaller meals a day.
Lose 10 pounds.

If I reach 164 lbs by September I'm rewarding myself with new running shoes. :)

What are YOU wanting to achieve during the month of August?

    i'd like to lose between 10-15 lbs! i went all summer with maintaining what i've lost (thank God) but i'd still like to lose 23+ lbs if possible. i'm at the smallest i've ever been, and i'd like to be smaller! If I lose the weight I'm going to reward myself with a new HOT dress (just for the heck of it!) and if I lose that much I may need a new wardrobe soon :)

    My goals: drink 10 glasses of water, get down to no breads, pastas, or white anythings, and to start getting to my first real goal of 160 (i'd like to get down to a size 10 at LEAST)

    I would like to get back on track with food diary since my injury and the meds are now done. I would like to eat slightly under my calorie goal at least 5-6x per week and on the day I may eat or exceed my calorie goal not to exceed by more than 100-200 calories. I would also like to start walking 3x per week (leisurely but to start - it is freaking hot in Florida right now:laugh: ).

    I would like to lose 1 pound by August 1 and then 5 pounds in the month of August.

    Good Luck to all with their August goals!!

    July 21 was the start of - Operation: Little Black Dress

    Data: I have a wedding to attend and also to photograph in about 5.5wks

    Goal: I would love to lose another 5-7lbs, hell I would be so stinkin ecstatic if I could lose 10, but I'm trying to be realistic here.

    Plan: Really watch my bad carb intake (ugh, I love them so!) Exercise like a crazy woman shops on a 5 minute shopping spree! Drink water like I am a camel and I'm dying of thirst.

    Well, I can't control how many pounds I drop, or what size I will be by day X. But I can control what I do, sooo...

    1. Eat unprocessed veggies/ fruit every day

    2. 75+ minute cardio, 6 days a week

    3. Weight lifting, 5 days a week

    4. 100+ grams of protein on exercise day (90+ on rest day)

    5. Go swimming more often while it's in season!

    I've been doing 1-4 for a while and have seen satisfactory results. It would be nice if I can get to size S by the end of August, but even if that doesn't happen, I'll be happy knowing that I stayed on the path and made good progress.
