    My very first post even though I have been using MFP for quite some time. Am 39 and on disability for bipolar disorder. Really, really hard to get up and get motivated. I'm starting slowly on the exercising. Am so hoping this thread will help.

    Goals for tomorrow:

    1. Stay under calories
    2. Recumbent bike for 20 min at 12.5 mph
    3. No fast food

    Another goal to fit in:

    No caffeine (I love caffeine, but it's a migraine trigger for me)


    I did it!! Hit all my goals for today. For tomorrow:

    1. Stay under calories
    2. Recumbent bike for 20 min at 12.5 mph
    3. No chocolate or candy

    Congrats to everyone for making it through today. :smile:

    1-Get a birthday card together for my friend to mail out tomorrow
    2-Get to bed at a decent hour
    3-Do a load of laundry

    So these were my three goals for yesterday and I did 2 and 3 but forgot about 1 until today and I forgot to actually set goals for today but I finished the card and I will be mailing it in the morning. But I was thinking about goals today and I actually find it easier to reflect on my goals in the evening and set the next days goals. That being said, here are my goals for Thursday 9/8:

    1-Be more calm at work at take time to breathe
    2-Go to the gym or do my Biggest Loser video
    3-Read at least 20 minutes

    Hey everyone! Sorry I was MIA the last couple of weeks last month. I had so much going on and a lot on my mind and then this past weekend, the family and I went to Tennessee for a mini vacation/get away and it felt AWESOME! Visited family and got to do some exploring and got away from the "stress". I'm so feeling better and I'm ready to rock n roll this month! I've got so much planned and hoping to get back into the swing of things.

    Welcome all newcomers! :flowerforyou:

    Hi ladies! Wanted to introduce myself, and am definitely up for a challenge (even though the challenge is mainly myself). I'm an almost 39 yo mom of 3 young kids (one with slight special needs), married for 11 years, and (please don't think I'm crazy), a paranormal investigator in my spare time. Kids don't know that! Ssssshhhhhh!!!!!

    Anyhow, since I will be 40 next October, I want this year to be THE YEAR that I finally shed my weight. I've had 3 c-sections, so it's been tough. I've been up and down, trying to do it on my own, but never really knew the right way. I felt hungry most of the time, and sure I lost some weight when I hardly ate, but my body kept plateauing b/c it was going into starvation mode. As far as the gym, I go when the kids are back in school 3x a week. Next week is when I start again! Unfortunately all my kids have separation anxiety and will not stay in the kid watching section of the gym, so I'm out of luck with that when they're off or during the summer.
    For my 40th birthday, I want to visit New Orleans, AND I want to look and feel dynamite. I also told myself when I get down to my goal, my closet is getting emptied and I'm treating myself to a new wardrobe! Hubby was in agreement and very supportive. So there you have it! That's me! Nice to meet everyone!

    My name is Jamie. Just recently turned 28. I work and am in school for nursing. I have an awesome 8 year old. I need to get a little more toned and get my energy level back up so I can keep up with my boy and our crazy schedules!

    Goals for FRIDAY 09/09/11
    1. Water water water. I have been doing better, but not great.
    2. Do my situps/crunches. I have been slacking
    3. Stay under on my calories/carbs. I was doing so good and these past 2 days it all went to hell!

    Thank you for letting me join and I look forward to posting with you guys!!

    :sad: Didn't make it today. Only hit one out of 3 goals. Ate me some chocolate and of course that made me go over my calories. So my only goal hit was doing my exercise. But that's okay.

    My goal is only 1200 and I haven't been eating back my exercise calories which of course takes me below the 1200. My mother has a nutrition friend of hers actually checking to see what would be the best calorie intake for me.

    Will do better tomorrow. :happy:
