I think I am down for Question of the Day for Thursday 4th August - but my mum is going into hospital tomorrow early so in case I don't get back in time here it is......
We all need to dream to push ourselves just a little bit further and we all have goals we are working towards some little and some big.
What is THE goal that you want to achieve so you can say yes this is it? And what is that dream goal that you are 99.9999% sure you cannot achieve but it would be out of this world to get to and you are willing to keep trying for no matter how small the chances of sucess?
For me my goal which I would not have even considered 3 months ago is getting to wear UK size 14 trousers all the time, I was a size 24 at the start of my journey. I would love to say Size 14 tops too but that is asking a lot.
My far reaching goal that I dream of is getting into Size 12 clothes - I have NEVER worn them, I went from childrens clothes into Size 14....0 -
So, the past 18 days in a row, we have had 90+ degree weather with the heat indeces in the 100s. How has everyone been keeping cool, and how has the heat affected your workouts if you are in this heat wave?
I'm in New Hampshire, we've been in the 80's here with a few spikes up into the 90's and quite a bit of humidity. I tend to walk in the evening when it's not quite so oppressive...but a post walk dip in the pools is usually a pretty welcome activity :-)
We had 2 days with heat advisories...those days I stayed inside...I would like to say I worked on my elliptical...but that would be a fib lol0 -

4th August 2011, here is my QOTD:
Who has been your INSPIRATION (not only in Weight Loss but in any facet of Life)?
What do you do to Boost yourself when your Morale is low (again this applies to all aspects of Life)?
1) I am lucky (and pay through the nose) to live in probably the most moderately temperature'd part of the US. The high so far has been 83 F and the lows in the winter at the very worst are like 40 F. By the time I go workout its around 6pm so it hasn't really been bad. When ti is, I blast the AC and play dance central.
2) The ultimate goal would be to be a COMFORTABLE size 6. Where the 6 is spacious and has room for a large lunch around the waist band (I have heard this is a 10 UK?) not something I squeeze into. Actually I think thats also the goal I am not sure about attaining, I have never been that thin before, including in high school. But I'm working out a lot more now and I think I can make it happen, but I won't be disappointed if it doesn't.
3) I don't really think I have someone who inspires me. And when I'm not having a great day, I grump around and/or treat myself a little (leave work early, have a little treat - LITTLE treat - or do something I enjoy). Otherwise I just try to push through, everyone has good and bad days.0 -
My first and possible goal would be to be able to fit in my 15 year old daughters pants (size 5ish). I can wear her shirts but it would be cool to fit in her pants... not that I really want to wear them but that is something that she keeps mentioning "if you get much smaller your gonna be stealing my pants!" Silly girl, she's the one gonna be stealing my clothes!I think I am down for Question of the Day for Thursday 4th August - but my mum is going into hospital tomorrow early so in case I don't get back in time here it is......

The less possible one would be to wear a bikini again. I could probably get away with wearing one at my size right now but I have scars and stretch marks that I really don't want people to see. I guess the only way to fix that would be surgery... maybe that could be my reward once I reach my weight loss goal.0 -
Oooh 3 questions!! This is great! I'm super busy right now but I WILL answer each of these when I have a moment. Just here to let you ladies know that I am going out of town till Sunday. I will be online checking any messages...so if you need something let me know

I know this is really cliche but i want to be tat girl who like on holiday etc everyones like "wow she looks good"... I dont think thats a realistic goal for me though because i know its distorted but my idea of looking "good" is celebrity skinny which my body just wont do...
4th August 2011, here is my QOTD:
Who has been your INSPIRATION (not only in Weight Loss but in any facet of Life)?
I genuinely don think i have any inspiration in life or weight loss.. i guess i will do, but different people for different reasons... but i tend to fight my battles (weight related and life) alone so i dont look to other people much...
What do you do to Boost yourself when your Morale is low (again this applies to all aspects of Life)?
I tend to just let it overtake me for a while and sit in bed with a movie as i find that once you've done that you feel like you HAVE to get up and be boosted because you've allowed yourself to be a little down for a while. Not sure if this works for everyone though!0 -

Its been hot here as well, registering around 100 degrees with the humidity making the heat index up to 120! I started walking earlier, around 7am to complete my workouts before it gets too hot. Take lots of water to ensure I stay hydrated0 -
4th August 2011, here is my QOTD:
Who has been your INSPIRATION (not only in Weight Loss but in any facet of Life)?
My inspiration has been my son, Wyatt. We worried about him as a baby because he didn't say a word until he was 4 years old. But when he finally started talking, he was speaking in complete sentences and asking the most profound questions for his age! It's just me and him now...and He still makes me laugh and surprises me when he shares his perception of things, it's amazing how observant he is and how smart! This year, he devoted his efforts to lose 68 pounds! He is only 15 years old and I guess he got tired of being slow and sluggish and sitting on his butt in front of the computer all day. He works out every day and is my total inspiration! I love him sooo much and am sooo proud of him! I cherish our time together and seek to have the confidence he exudes. 0 -
Hello all. I am so sorry I have been MIA. I have been in some serious pain and it's been so bad someone else has had to log my food for me because it hurts to type. I missed my QOTD and i hope someone was able to pick up for my slack
So since I have missed out on so much, I figured I'd try to do some make up work and ask a random question.
So, the past 18 days in a row, we have had 90+ degree weather with the heat indeces in the 100s. How has everyone been keeping cool, and how has the heat affected your workouts if you are in this heat wave?
It's really hot here in Tennesee! But I work in an office with men who wear suits, so the A/C is always on and kicking. I am cold natured anyways, so I am actually cold most days. Sometimes I even have to take the trash or cardboard out, just so that I can warm up for a couple of minutes. As far as exercise, here lately I have been walking in the evenings. It's not quite as hot then. I know it would be better temperture wise to go in the morning...but I am not a morning person!0 -

For me my main goal that says yes I did this, and that I know that I can achieve, is to get to 145lbs. The goal that I would like to achieve, but not sure if I can (but will continue to try) is to get to 125lbs. Like someone else mentioned, I went straight from the largest girls size to a 7/8 junior size. And that was probably in 6th grade. I have been a US size 10 since middle school. At my heaviest I was wearing a size 14, which was snug. I am currently a size 10 again, but would love to wear a size 6 (not snug) no matter what number is on the scale. I really should shoot for a size 4 because by time clothes go on clearance that's all that is left. LOL. I could save a lot of money that way. 0 -
OK so it's Dawn of 4th August 2011, here is my QOTD:
Who has been your INSPIRATION (not only in Weight Loss but in any facet of Life)?
What do you do to Boost yourself when your Morale is low (again this applies to all aspects of Life)?
I have been inspired by many people with weight loss, but there's not really anyone that stands out at the moment. I think I am probably my biggest inspiration to be honest. I am the one making this happen.
However, I have recently learned to put God first in my life, including with weight loss. So I guess you could say that God is really the one who inspires me. I know he has big plans for me, and I'm working on breaking the bad habits and start more good habits, so that I will be ready once I know my calling or his plan. And God is the one I turn to boost my morale. I often pray that he gives me the strength that I need to do this. I do also turn to my MFP pals when I need a boost too. Sometimes it helps just to hear (or read) the positive things people say to help you on your way.0 -

[/quote]
OK...I don't know if I did the quote thing right...but here we go...
1) My ultimate goal is to get to 150lbs...is that going to happen? I have no idea...but I've resolved myself that this is a lifestyle for me now and I will have to watch what I eat and where my weight is for the rest of my life...SO...if I hit 150 fabulous...if don't, I won't be heartbroken. My main goal is to get to a healthy weight where I FIRST and foremost stay the heck UNDER 200lbs, feel comfortable in my own skin and be able to ride without people behind me having to wonder which bum belongs to me and which belongs to the horse...a big thank you my namesake Aunt Betty for bestowing me with her “baby making hips”
2) I have many inspirations in my life...I am VERY lucky to have a supportive and honest husband who has been with me every step of the way and has a kind way of telling me things I usually don't want to hear. The friendships I've made on MFP have REALLY impacted my ability to stay on track as well. AND on a daily basis I try to inspire myself
Tummy Tuck Question: I will preface this by saying I’m a nurse and only get to see the “tummy tucks gone bad” population of the surgeries…but when they go bad I can tell you it’s not pretty. For me (again…MY opinion) it would definitely be a last resort. When you get there, see what you can do with toning… If you DO end up deciding to have it done, please do your homework, plastic surgery is NOT something you want to bargain shop for the best deal…and avoid the plastic surgery assembly line clinics…0 -

And what is that dream goal that you are 99.9999% sure you cannot achieve but it would be out of this world to get to and you are willing to keep trying for no matter how small the chances of success?
THE goal is 22-26% body fat (athletic/fit). And... because of my life the roller coaster ride its been, I don't do dream goals of 99.999% - I know what's healthy for my body and what I can and WILL achieve. That's THE goal - I don't set myself up for failure or constant, long-term struggle.
Who has been your INSPIRATION (not only in Weight Loss but in any facet of Life)?
My mother. She's the strongest, most humble, loving woman I know. Life is not always fair - but she always makes the best of it for all involved.
What do you do to Boost yourself when your Morale is low (again this applies to all aspects of Life)?
I go riding. Cody = my heart. No matter what is wrong in my world seeing her - even if just for a few minutes - sets it right.0 -

I've been thinking about my goals for awhile and see that I can't really place a weight goal any longer as I think once I hit my original goal of 175, I will want to keep going..so I think its a matter of size now..I would like to reach a comfortable size 10.
I don't think there is an ultimate goal that I can't reach...if I make the goal and keep working at it, I will get there.0 -
OK so it's Dawn of 4th August 2011, here is my QOTD:
Who has been your INSPIRATION (not only in Weight Loss but in any facet of Life)?
What do you do to Boost yourself when your Morale is low (again this applies to all aspects of Life)?
Unfortunately, I don't have an inspiration. When my morale is low, I've started taking quiet time where I sit in a quiet place and thing about my current situation and what I can do to change it. If I'm having a hard time determining what to do to change things, first thing I will do is do a search on the internet to see if someone has a similar situation and what they did to resolve it and then go from there.0 -
OK Diamonds we gotta come up with a better way to follow the QOTDs. My answers are below but I have no idea if I have the right questions. Sorry!
Wednesday QOTD - How has everyone been keeping cool, and how has the heat affected your workouts if you are in this heat wave? I workout out in my apartment under the A/C. On really hot days I skip my workout all together.
Thursday QOTD - What is THE goal that you want to achieve so you can say yes this is it? And what is that dream goal that you are 99.9999% sure you cannot achieve but it would be out of this world to get to and you are willing to keep trying for no matter how small the chances of sucess? I want to be out of plus size clothing. I'm very confident that I can acheive this goal. My far goal is I want to wear a bikini at least once and actually look like I should have it on. IJS!
Thursday QOTD #2 - Who has been your INSPIRATION (not only in Weight Loss but in any facet of Life)? God, 4 real!
What do you do to Boost yourself when your Morale is low (again this applies to all aspects of Life)? I made of vision board for my goals in life. It's hanging in my living room to remind me of what I am working for.0 -

What do you do to Boost yourself when your Morale is low (again this applies to all aspects of Life)?
My boys are my inspiration. Often when making a daily decision (eating a big bowl of ice cream covered in magic shell, yelling at the car that pulled out in front of me, sitting on my butt in front of the computer all afternoon, going on a mini-shopping spree, etc) I think about how the outcome will affect them/what type of roll model I am being for them. When I put it in that light making the right decision is easier. Seeing the world through their eyes and its' simple pleasures centers me.0 -

4th August 2011,QOTD:
Who has been your INSPIRATION (not only in Weight Loss but in any facet of Life)?
What do you do to Boost yourself when your Morale is low (again this applies to all aspects of Life)?
1) Being able to wear a size between 6 and 8. Not been there since my early 20's but this time am starting to see the possibilities of getting there. being able to beat my sister in a long run! (she's been running forever and is a seeded local 1/2 marathoner! - nope no competition there!:))
2) wow - lots of people have inspired me, but I'm gonna have to jump on the "my mom" bandwagon. No matter what she has faced, she's one of those women who's not always maintained her faith, but also has looked for the positive in the situation. She has always unconditonally loved each of her 5 kids without ever choosing a favorite (each my of us always jest that we're the favorite), and she always encouraged each of us to pursue our dreams. We are all very different, but all maintain those core values that she and Dad instilled in us...
When my morale is low - I try to look at all I have to be thankful for and make that the priority. Cannot change the reality, but there is no good in wallowing in self pity. If it can be changed, I try to do that, if not I pray for the ability to accept it and deal with it!0 -

1) Being able to wear a size between 6 and 8. Not been there since my early 20's but this time am starting to see the possibilities of getting there. being able to beat my sister in a long run! (she's been running forever and is a seeded local 1/2 marathoner! - nope no competition there!:))
2) wow - lots of people have inspired me, but I'm gonna have to jump on the "my mom" bandwagon. No matter what she has faced, she's one of those women who's not always maintained her faith, but also has looked for the positive in the situation. She has always unconditonally loved each of her 5 kids without ever choosing a favorite (each my of us always jest that we're the favorite), and she always encouraged each of us to pursue our dreams. We are all very different, but all maintain those core values that she and Dad instilled in us...
When my morale is low - I try to look at all I have to be thankful for and make that the priority. Cannot change the reality, but there is no good in wallowing in self pity. If it can be changed, I try to do that, if not I pray for the ability to accept it and deal with it!

Morning Diamonds, I have been traveling round the UK this week, I am now firmly back in Edinburgh, so here are my answers -
Wednesday QOTD - How has everyone been keeping cool, and how has the heat affected your workouts if you are in this heat wave?
It is not really hot here in Edinburgh, more of a clammy muggyness. Luckily my flat stays quite cool so working out is not too bad.
Thursday QOTD - What is THE goal that you want to achieve so you can say yes this is it? And what is that dream goal that you are 99.9999% sure you cannot achieve but it would be out of this world to get to and you are willing to keep trying for no matter how small the chances of sucess?
My "achievable" goal is to be able to shop in high street shops and fit comfortably in Uk size 14 clothes (when this happens I will probably end up spending a fortune!). My unachievable goal would be to reach a UK size 8 so that I can borrow and wear my best friends clothes (she has amazing style).
Thursday QOTD #2 - Who has been your INSPIRATION (not only in Weight Loss but in any facet of Life)?
What do you do to Boost yourself when your Morale is low (again this applies to all aspects of Life)?
My insparation is my mum. We often disagree on things and argue, but she has been struggling with muscualr distophy all of her life (although she was only diagnosed about 10 years ago) and she does not let this stop her doing what she wants to do. She has lost lots of weight recently and has just joined a zumba class (she does does as much in class as she can). As infuriating as she can be at times, I have never seen her give up.
When my morale is low I turn to music. I can always find songs which can pull me out of a funk or cheer me up.0 -
We've had some serious questions this week so my QOTD is a fluff one.
