Hello. While it is important to set long-term goals, it is equally important to have short-term goals. For example, you may not imagine losing 10 pounds this week, but you can develop the habits that will enable you to do. Short-term goals result in long-term success.

Mine are:
1. No binging.
2. Eat as close to my caloric limit as possible.
3. Limit my unhealthy food intake.
4. Exercise more often.
5. Be more focused.

So what are your goals for this week?

    1) no random "well I'm walking past the bakery and this looks good, I'll just get it!" this week (including with ice cream, waffles and any other items I tend to buy just for the heck of it)
    2) get out of the 119-120 range and break the 118s
    3) increase my iron content and water content for blood donation on Saturday

    Don't gain any weight!

    (I swear maintenance is just as hard as losing weight)

    1. Exercise daily; at least 30 minutes of Cardio + 100 ab crunches, weighted arm reps, lunges.
    2. Drink at least 12 8oz. glasses of water daily.
    3. Eat cleaner and correct portion sizing even if it takes longer to prepare.
    4. Curb late night snack attacks by keeping busy/going to sleep earlier.

    It's hard to keep on track but you have to be focused if you want to be successful in weight loss.

    Good one, I need to increase my water intake as well. 12 may be a bit too much for me, though.

    My original plan for this week:
    1) Run three times throughout the week
    2) Do my burpee workout at least twice through the week

    But I'll also pick up a goal from some of you, and drink at least 64 ounces of water each day

    Good thread! Here's mine:

    1. Stop postponing workouts, just do them! It takes me an hour to psyche myself up for my workout.
    2. Exercise 5x a week
    3. Less negative thoughts, more positive affirmations.
    4. Find ways to get more calcium in my diet. I'm always under the recommended calcium requirement.
    5. Be happy with any loss (big or small).
    6. Aim for a daily deficit of 230-300 calories.

    I am going on holiday on 12th September so that leaves 6 days....

    So for 6 days I plan:
    1) Stick within calorie goal every day
    2) 30 minute cardio x5 times
    3) 30 minute walk each lunchtime
    4) No alcohol until holiday

    I am very close to goal weight but still the idea of throwing on my bikini is a little eeeek !!!

    1. Log every little morsel....even meds which I thought didn't count towards cal total
    2. Get the scales moving downwards again.......preferably 2lbs off....
    3. 10,000 steps a day....slacking recently.

    My goals this week are:

    - Avoid alcohol Monday - Friday
    - Go for a walk on my lunch break every day (Monday - Friday)
    - Go to both my Zumba classes
    - Do at least one workout DVD at home.
    - Do not binge at the wedding I'm going to on Saturday
    - Stay under my calorie goal 5 days out of 7 and keep my net intake for the week under my goal
    - See a loss on the scales (ANY loss! Been struggling the last couple of weeks).

    I have been slacking off the exercise recently and even if I eat around 1200 calories a day I find it very hard to lose anything if I don't exercise. Unfortunately family circumstances are making it very difficult for me to fit in any workouts at the moment.

    Mine are:

    1) Buy a food scale - Check (ordered it this morning and should have it by the end of the week)
    2) Finally get under 60Kg's - have been dancing around 60/61kg forever and I finally want to see that elusive 59 on the scale
    3) Do at least 10 minutes/100 calories on the treadmill before each of my gym sessions

    Well, I am flying out on holiday tonight (yay), so my only goal for this week is to try and not put on any weight, and do at least 1 hours swimming a day (that burns nearly 600 calories apparently).

    Have a great week everyone :)
