What are everyone's goals for the month of August AND how are you going to ensure that you reach them?

My goals are to lose 12 lbs. this month. I know this is a push but I haven't been "really" try to do so. I've been working out about 3-4 times a week and not exactly recording everything I eat. So, this month I am going to push for 5-6 days a week of working out and also checking-in within my calorie range for the day.

    My goal is to get under 200 lbs by August 31st...that means I have 12 lbs to lose. I am going to try to do it with plenty of water, walking and low carb foods.

    I'm going to do a small goal, and want to lose 5 lbs for the month of August. I won't be able to work out for the rest of the week this week, but will get back on track next week.

    good luck!

    I have two goals. To be up to a 100 crunches a day (I can currently only do 30, but I'm up from 15) and to be able to do at least 45 minutes on the elliptical (when I first got it I could only do 2 minutes {yes I'm serious} but I'm up to 15 now). I keep telling myself baby steps and I'll be there in no time.

    I want to lose 10 pounds by my birthday 9-4. That would put me under 200.
