edited December 2024 in Social Groups
We meet here to explore, share, celebrate and (sometimes) agonize over how we do (or don't) incorporate weight loss guidelines into our daily lives. "It's a lifestyle, not a diet" is easily and often said, but sometimes not so simply put into practice.



This is a thread for everyone. If you're new to GoaD, or to weight loss, your questions and comments are always welcome. If you're maintaining, or a long-term loser, your thoughts on the topic may be just what someone else needs to hear. If you're reading this, join in the discussion!



Each weekday, a new topic is offered up for discussion. Thread starters for December are below:

    I don't often set weight loss goals, but, this year I'm aiming to be 10 pounds (or more) less on 1/1/2021 than my last official WI in 2019 (12/27/2019).
    Anyone else setting goals, weight loss, or otherwise?

    I'd like to get down to my personal target of 130 pounds. I'd be happy if I could just stick to my personal plan more often than not!

    I am saying things to myself like "I really need to take in more fluids". It is a goal in the back of my mind that I need to bring forward. I would of course like to be about 9 LB lighter too to get closer to the upper middle of my weight range. At least I am still within my weight range but only by a pinch or two.

    I got distracted yesterday when recording my goals but here is the rough draft of my Health goals.
    • Daily Tracking with the aim of losing weight
    • Focus more on Anti Imflammatory Diet components
    • Explore nutritional approaches
    • Slowly rebuild daily activity breadth and level
    • Focus on being a healthy person not an impaired one

    I don't have a weight goal but it would have to be at least 30lbs, preferably 50lbs

    I haven’t sat down and decided what goals I’m setting for myself yet. I want to focus on process goals, rather than results goals.

    In the next 14 days I want to be down to 180#s. That’s down 10 pounds from today.

    As of this morning, I am 3.5 lbs from goal. This is the year I finally believe I will get there

    My goals 2020

    1.5 lbs a week which is very aggressive but I know I can do it.
    Get moving more by walking at least 3 day a week water aerobics 2 days a week
    Use www.myplate.gov more often for portion and nutritional control and working with my nutritionist every month.

    I need to get back below my WW goal. The holidays kicked me up and over that number. I need to do this before my January LT WI. I've never weighed in above goal (within +2) and don't intend to start now.

    To accomplish this, I'm being sure to track as I go at work even though I'm insanely busy as I've taken on a retired colleague's job duties which come with a steep learning curve.
