    Met my first goal of 20 pounds lost. Had lost another pound this AM when I jumped on the scale. Clothes are getting looser. Have set a goal of an additional 20 pounds lost. Feel motivated to keep exercising, watching the portions and start doing more strength training. :happy:

    My monthly goal is to take 5-6 classes a week (body pump, step, zumba, sculp) at my gym. I've been doing this for the last few weeks and I feel great. I want to keep it up and keep up the momentum.

    My other goal is to stick to my diet plan and exercise while on a week's vacation which starts this Thursday. I am nervous about sticking to it but I know I can do it.

    Awesome goals everyone!!! Sometimes the best way to REACH your goals is to talk about them....so I find myself telling my family all the time about my goals...even the' mini' goals.....(mini goal is 135 by my birthday...in 3 weeks) :)
    Happy Monday everyone!

    My goal is to work on muscle definition this month. I haven't been able to work out much in the past few weeks, but I'm getting my life back on track again.

    1. Drink 8+ glasses of water daily.
    2. Sleep 6-7 hours per night.
    3. Weigh myself 1-2 times per week.

    5. Have one "cheat" meal per week.
    6. Take one rest day from cardio and enjoy a leisurely walk.
    7. Get to goal weight! <---How did I manage to forget this one haha?! AND maintain :)

    i'm going to see my sister for the first time in a year on september 7th.

    i really want to surprise her with a bit of weight loss .. seeing as i keep telling her how i eat mcdonalds everyday (i don't lol) so she has NO idea that i'm trying out the healthy track. :D

    The prospect of fitting into S shirts has finally become real. It still feels surreal, actually, but I know I'll be there in no time if I just keep this up.

    My goal is to work out 6 days a week, 70+ minutes a day! It's something I've been doing already, but I have had a few off days last month. I want to stay on the path 100% this month.

    My goals for the month are: Drink more water, lose 15 pounds (hopefully) by my birthday next month), be more active. I didnt lose as much as I wanted to during July. Plus I feel like I have slacked off during the month of July. Between my husband being gone for training and the heat. Im getting back on track this month. On the plus side my kids start back to school in two weeks, lol. My husband will be back home with me on the 7th.

    4. Cut down time on MFP (I love this website a little too much) to 1-2 hours per day.
    I know what you mean. Spending too much time on the computer is what got me fat in the first place. I think of MFP like monounsaturated fat... Good fat, but in excess it can contribute to weight gain. :laugh:

    After a 1 month weight plateau, I fit into a smaller size jeans yesterday and today I woke up to a weight loss of 2lbs!

    My body is ready to kick start the weight loss again and there is nothing more motivating than that :)

    Half way to my goal and I'm not letting anything stop me.
