Goal weight- 150
NWG (non weight goal)- To be healthy again (and lowe my cholesterol to a healthy level). A month ago I quit smoking, I became a vegitarian, and committed myself more to exercising (4-5 times a week of cardio, I'm now ready to add strength training to my work outs). I've already noticed how much better I feel by exchanging some bad habits with good ones.

Hey groupies!
So, I'm taking this thing seriously! My husband was instructed to wake me up at 5am so I could get to the gym before heading off to work. I did it! It was terrible and fabulous. 45 minutes on the elliptical and a quick 20 minute dog walk when I got home.
Packing my lunch so I can eat in my classroom and not be lured into the workroom for cookies (they always have cookies!!!)
Good luck to everyone today.

Wow, that's dedication! I love working out but could never do it in the morning! I have to be at work at 7:30 (30 minute drive) & I am NOT a morning person! I am a teacher, too! I teach 5th grade. There always seems to be treats everywhere...other teachers brung chocolate to meetings & it is hard to resist, but I have so far!
Keep up the good work!

I don't know how ya'll highlight a quote and then respond to it. I"m not tech-savy! I am cutting and pasting instead until someone takes pity on me and teaches me.

My response:
What state are you in? I admire elementary teachers - all day in one classroom with the same kids. I don't think I could do it. I love my middle schoolers! I understand about not getting up in the morning to work out. If I don't, it will NOT happen. When I'm finished with school, I crash. Oh well....we'll see if I can do it tomorrow. Talk to you soon,

Is this weird or what?? My non weight goal is to fit into a pair of size 12 jeans by the end of this. Yesterday I tried on an old pair of jeans, and yes they are a little worn at the seams and they are strech, but they are 12s and they fit even though snug. My goal is still the same to fit into a pair a 12s. Just now I would like them to be on the loose side.

Just thought I would share. Have a good day everyone.

Just what I needed! I'm in, and going to stick this out!

Goal weight- I'm there. My original goal was 140. I really want to be at a lower Body Fat, currently 27%. Would like to be at 19-20% by Christmas. I will probably see my weight go up to 145 as my body fat comes down. I would love to be in a comfy 2, vain I know. Currently in between 3/4 and 5/6. Too tight or too lose.
To exercise for at least 15 minutes each day, working 15 hour days is a bummer and really cuts into my exercising. No more execuses!
