Thanks for setting this up again!!

Goals

Lose 2 lb
Sleep
Finish backyard

Yay! Good goals. Sleep especially.
Ok mine are, lose 5 lbs, get pregnant, pressure wash outside of the house. Take my flippin' vitamins. (It's soooo hard.)

I have realised that I can lose 1 pound a week, and no more, so that is my target for this month

I'm taking advice received on this forum on waiting to hear whether I have been accepted to study next year before deciding on when to TTC.

In the mean time I am working towards a BMI of <30 (currently at 31.8). Long term is <=25

I haven't set any goals yet but I'd better. I'm scared to step on the scale after recent over-indulgence.

1. Lose 3 lbs from whatever I weigh on Friday 9/8
2. Get pregnant
3. Prep for big mountain bike ride 9/16 with 4 road or mountain rides each of the next 2 weeks.
4. Do some strength training (1-2x per week) to prep for backpacking 9/23 weekend.

My ability to actually stick to my goals recently hasn't been too stellar! Hopefully September will be different.

1. Lose 10-12 pounds (including several I'm sure is water weight from vacation)
3. Start cracking on fall projects--hay, cleaning sheds, building chicken coop, ect.
4. Reduce stress, be happy
5. Begin 2 month hiatus from high pressure TTC attempts.

Of course, they could all change a bit if we end up pregnant from this last cycle, AF is due 9/11. Not real optimistic. September and October will be a lot of focus on eating right, dropping weight and deciding what tools to use going forward to improve fertility.

So, after 3 mornings of positive tests including a digital one this morning I suppose I should adjust my September goals:

1. Maintain weight
2. Schedule a doctors appointment
3. Incessantly research all the best nutrition advice
4. Still work on most of the fall projects, except hay. This is a good excuse to get out of it!
5. Relax, reduce stress, don't worry and pray everything is health and perfect.

@SheilAnneSmith wow congratulations!!! A baby have you looked online to see your due date yet?

Sheila, congratulations!! I'm more than a wee bit jealous, but also insanely happy for you!!

Sept Goals; I'm jumping in late. I had a miscarriage 6 weeks ago and am finally feeling remotely human again! I just finished a 10 day cleanse that has gotten me back on track for eating healthfully. Its a good time of year for it with all of the fresh farmers markets around. Spending a lot of time meal prepping.
- Track, track, track! either on MFP or using the points system with this lifestyle-metagenics recommendation. or both
- Workout 3 days per week
- Get 8000+ steps 3-4 days per week
- Get below pre lost,pregnancy weight <178, so 2-3 # weight loss, minimum

SW: 128.8
CW: 128.2
GW: 125.8

Ahh, not making a lot of progress here. Gotta get back to goal range (120-125), preferably on the low end. I'm going to be eating mostly fruits and veggies next week and not drinking, so that should help. Maybe I'll get close to my 3-lb goal

I'm not doing so well on the weight loss front. I just had 2... what I shall call.. refeed weeks. I'm up a few pounds. Going to try to get back into the swing of it now. I know the problem. Sleep deprivation lol.

We moved Keith to his new room (yes, 3 months early but he was sleeping so well in our room... as long as we weren't in it... and we are all exhausted from waking each other up). Unfortunately he doesn't seem to like his new room. Why the builder decided to put 3 vents in the smallest room in the house baffles me. It's so loud. I never noticed. Also we keep forgetting to turn the thermostat to heat for overnight. We need A/C during the day and heat at night. Awkward temperatures outside.

My other goals... well... the backyard isn't finished. We have the following left:
1) Finish stairs to deck (in progress)
2) Put in crushed granite in the places grass won't grow (not in progress)
3) Plant a tree
4) Maybe get a landscaping design from my brother-in-law's sister
5) Spread top soil in low areas and put in grass seed.

Sleep:
lol.
Yeah right.

@Alioth have a fun trip!!
@VeryKatie how is it going now with the new room for Keith after a couple days?
