Hey Everyone :)!! I thought it would be cool to see what everyone else's goals were. Hopefully, this can provide some accountability and further support for people who need it. When I originally started my health journey, I was just focused on getting my diet in check which took A LOT longer to control than I expected (roughly 3 months...lol). Afterwards, I started adding in exercise so for one month I've consistently eaten clean in combination with exercising. Also, I completed the first week of TurboFire and I plan on seeing this program all the way through.

My short term goals are to lose 20 pounds, increase cardio endurance, increase water intake and maintain a positive outlook on food.

Long term goals are to lose 50 pounds overall, better strength in core and upper body and stronger self-esteem.

Stay strong everyone and know that each day is a new day for change. If you slip up, forgive yourself and move forward. Have a beautiful day!

    Most importantly and most immediately my goal is to increase water intake, make healthier food decisions, eat smaller portions and not be so sedentary. I lost my mother unexpectedly to a massive heart attack in May so it had suddenly become much more important for me to make these changes to my lifestyle.

    Long term, I think it goes without saying that I'm 30-40lbs overweight so I would like to lose that. I'm down 6lbs this month, but I'm also doing some strength training so it's a slow process on the loss as I'm building muscle. That said, long term I'm also looking to be quite toned and continue to be a bit of a gym rat:)

    Hi Coffeen! I'm so sorry to hear about your loss but it seems like you are keeping it together. Great job on re-claiming your life and Congrats on the weight loss. I'm with you on the water intake and just being more active. I don't have any support from friends or relatives which makes this journey even tougher but reading the discussions on here are really inspiring. We got this!!!!!

But over the last few weeks I've been maintaining my eating and drinking water with a little excersize and I'm happy to say I lost 9 lbs ......yayy 31 more to go hope everyone stick to it and reach their goals.

    I definitely can relate. You don't realize how addicting certain foods are until you decide to stop eating them. Then all hell breaks loose....lol. My weakness is cheese & chocolate. Great job on getting back on track & the weight loss. We are in this together!
