Now that we've dusted off our scales and braved the numbers of the measuring tape, let's take a look at some goals....
It's time to be held accountable for our choices, good or bad.
Concentrate on a Diet Goal this week. Most responses were drinking more water, eating less junk food, eating more veggies.
What is your goal for this week?
My goal is to drink more water per day. I am currently averaging 2-4 glasses of water. My goal for this week is to increase my water intake to at least 5 glasses (40oz) per day. Some may think this is not a lot of water, but for me (a non-water drinker), it is quite a challenge.
To accomplish this goal, I am starting off my day by filling my pepsi cup full of water and making a conscious effort to drink from it throughout the day.

My target for this week, is to drink atleast 15-16 glasses of water, take 8 small meals in a day (a meal every 2 hour ) averaging about 1600-1700 calorie and exercise for 6 days with average calorie burn of 400-500 calorie per day. This is my 3rd day and i am doing good so far, 4 more days to go.0

Way To Go!!! Sounds like you have quite a few goals going on this week!
I'm taking baby steps at this point. Trying to increase water intake and keep below my daily allotted calories (which means staying away from junk food).0 -
My goal for the week is to do some form of cardio at least twice for 15 min each. I was doing this and hurt my foot and now that it's better I haven't started back again. Also, to continue with the water and make sure to get at least 150oz. I was getting 160 oz a day but the past 10 days or so I have been struggling to get to even 140 oz.0

Sounds like some great goals for the week. I'm not fitting in cardio this week. My ankle is still bothering me. I may need to get it checked, so I've not made time to try walking or anything yet. This week I'm going to concentrate on keeping my calories down and increasing water. Once I make it thru that accomplishment, then I can move onto the working out next week.0 -
My goals for the week are to up my exercise amount a bit. I have been trying to fit in about 30 mins. a few times a week but I know I am entirely capable of doing a minimum of 30 mins. almost every day. I need to break out my exercise DVD's that I have had so much success with in the past and USE THEM! Just need some more motivation to get going because I actually do enjoy exercise, it's just making it a priority that I struggle with. Also, today I only ate half of my sandwich at lunch and saved myself almost 200 cals. I was satisfied and not full. It is my goal to do that more often- actually think about what I'm eating and know when I am satisfied instead of assuming I should eat it all just because it's in front of me.0

Good job on the sandwich! I will try to cut off excess bread from a sandwich or if i'm eating out, I won't order the fries or other side orders with the meal and i find that I'm still satisfied without consuming more.
Are there times during the day that are better than others for you to do your exercise DVD's? Perhaps blocking off time to exercise will help give it more priority?0 -
My goal sounds really simple but there is actually complex reasoning behind it. The goal? Eat one fresh produce item a day.
1. it gives good nutrition
2. it should be taking the place of something processed which typically means I have saved calories
3. personally if I make the effort for one item I am more likely to move on to 2 or 3 fresh items
4. I think there is a secret advantage to eat fresh calories over processed - in my head it deals with the natural fibers and requiring your body to work a little harder for what it absorbs.
Today I had an apple. Yesterday was a sweet potato and peaches.0 -

Way to go on the freshness approach! I am definitely lacking when it comes to natural foods. That's definitely a great goal to start with.0 -
My goal this week is to increase my workout activities to 60 minutes and intake more water.0
