Hi I'm Heather
My goal weight is 130- from there I'd like to get as close to 120 as possible but I want a goal I feel is attainable.
Right now I'm doing 30 day shred which I will continue the month of January, I'm adding in yoga and Pilates when I can as well. I plan on walking/jogging soon. After 30ds I plan to master TurboJam and Zumba lol. I have to mix it up or I get bored.
I'm ready to stick to exercising and logging my calories.0 -
Hello Everyone! :happy: :happy: :happy:
Wooo-hoooo for 2012! I am so freaking excited about the year to be here! :bigsmile: I have some big, BIG plans for the upcoming year and I am ready to start accomplishing them. So ready!
My name is Becky, I am a social worker in Montana. Currently, I specialize with geriatrics. We have some major developments going on and I am a key part of those changes... so this next year is going to be a whole lot of hard work, long hours, big stress and finally seeing our vision becoming a reality! That means though -- if I am gonna work THAT hard then I am gonna play even harder!
The thing that excited me most was doing a Bucket List for 2012... the things that needed to happen before 2012 kicked the bucket - not me! :laugh: I am toying though with calling it my Kick-*kitten* Lifestyle List for 2012. Anyway - it's not about goals. Goals are easy to set... this list was all about what it was gonna take to push me and excite me! So... I came up with a list of 25 items! Some of the Fitness related goals are 1) Climb Koko Head in Hawaii (1048 steep railroad tie steps to the top of a volcanic crater! What was I thinking?!?) 3) Jog/Run a 5K without needing to stop 5) Try Snowbiking 6) Walk on the Glacier at GNP before it melts and disappears... I have already started training (so-to-speak) for the Koko Head Workout. They call it's Nature's Stairmaster! Someone pointed out to me yesterday... that is actually 2096 stairs because I have to come back down. Oh Lordy!
Goal weight, goal weight, goal weight... :ohwell: Would you believe me if I said that I really just don't know?!? I don't know what my ultimate goal is! I don't... Right now - I just want to get back to the weight I was prior to December before the New Year... from there, I want to be out of the "3"s... that's right, out of the freaking threes! So... I am still looking at another 100 pounds to release to the Universe! I'd be happy to be anywhere in "Onederland" but ultimately... by the time I get there -- I will probably know better and more. Until then - I am going to force myself to celebrate every pound and every point of a pound. I am looking forward to the "2"s and I am looking forward to seeing my collarbone pop out here soon... It's ready to show itself to the world! Soon... very, very soon... and for the rest of my life! :laugh:
Oh... and fitness plans (sorry, thought it said goals) will be to continue with Zumba at least one night a week, train triathalon style, become a jogger, and learn the kettlebells! I just met with a trainer tonight and got assigned to a personal trainer. She's supposed to be great and will help me improve my endurance and "really" gain strength!
As you can tell... I'm a pretty wordy/talkative person and I love the smileys! :blushing: I will be telling one of my MFP buddies about this when she returns from Vacation... and have another one or two who may be interested.
Looking forward to getting to know everyone! Bring on 2012!0 -
Hello!
My name is Joanne. I am a sahm. I am feeling really optimistic for 2012. I want to start it right and I think taking care of myself is my goal for the year.
My goal weight is to be in the 190's.
I use to do spinning and I loved it so much, I would like to get myself back to spinning. I also have insanity video workouts. I will try anything that keeps me moving

Hi! Amanda here! I am a 29 year old, married mother of 1. I actually lost 80lbs to get to 160 before I got pregnant and... well... here I am again! :grumble: My ultimate goal is 140 or less, but I would like to be into "onederland" by the time school starts back next year. I am a teacher and our school is moving to a new building next year. So, new students, new building... why not a new me! My time is very limited and exercise has never been my thing so as far as "fitness plans" I want to make sure I am drinking my water, under calories 6-7 days (I don't always us a "free day," but I have found if I don't allow it every now and then I get frustrated), and move more. I have mini weight goals on my profile.
I will tell my mom about this group. She is on mfp too!
Feel free to add me and I look forward to doing this together! WOO HOO! Let's get this part started!!!:drinker:0 -
Hi,
I'm Calesia and ready to shed those pounds for 2012.
My goal weight is 225lbs.
Last year I started losing weight on 12/26/2011. I successfully lost 36lbs and today I have gained all but six poulds back. I also used myfitnesspal during that time so I know it works. If you can committ to logging, you are always conscience of your intake.
So once again here I go and my determination is to lose it this time and not gain it back.
Good luck to all!!!

My name is Pam, and I am a SAHM of 4 and a full time student.
My goal weight is 160/150 somewhere inbetween there. As of right now I don't really want to be less than 150, but I guess time will tell.
My fitness goal for 2012 is to have fitness become my lifestlye, not just a diet. I don't want to go around the diet loop anymore. I'm hoping that one day I will be able to do more than just the treadmill or elliptical, but as for now my knee doesn't allow it
. I am also keeping up with weight lifting and hoping to double what I can do now by the end of the year. 0 -
Hello Ladies!
My name is Emily and I am a stay-at-home mom to 4 beautiful children! I am so excited to get hot n sexy this year with a weight goal of 135 I am working with a trainer and he was telling me every body has a different body shape. For my build and type he thought 130 to135 would be a great weight for me.
My goals for 2012 is to not only lose the weight but to be toned and healthy on the inside. So instead of focusing on BMI and just weight, I will also be focusing on body fat percentage. I am so pumped.0 -

Hello all,
My name is Carla. My goal weight is 175, but once I reach that I may try to get to 160.
My other goals for 2012 are to complete a 5K, purchase and ride a normal bike, buy clothes in a regular store and reach my goal weight.
My fitness plans are to continue with what I started this year. I go to the gym 6 days a week and vary up my exercise routine. Participate in 2 Zumba classes per week (i only do one now) and get my elliptical sessions up to 30 minutes, but keep my heartrate down in the 140 range.
Okay ladies, let's do this.0 -

I am 36 about to be 37 in a couple of days... I am already trying to live healthier... eating smaller portions and have lost 30 so far but TOM was in town and I went up... Not worried though...
I am very busy... I am a stay at home mom, wife, home school our son and am constantly on the go... We have an awesome schedule that helps keep it all together... I bowl on a league... I work out at home...
I started MFP in the beginning of August 2011 at 267 pounds and worked out for about 3 weeks before I rolled my ankle and ended up in a E-boot (kind of like a cast) for 7 weeks... I am so glad to be out of that thing... That was miserable... I couldn't do anything... I started back in Nov. and was at 256 but had to take it easy b/c my ankle was really weak and I didn't want to reinjure it... I have gone full force since the beginning of Dec. and I am currently at 239...
I want to be completely out of the 200's by the end of the year plus some... I don't do anything half way... It's all or nothing and I am giving ME my ALL... I am worth working very hard for...
I am very glad to be part of this challenge...
Thank you so much for putting this together...0 -

1. Hi everyone, I'm Ruth (RAS10710).
2. My current weight is just under 105kg. My ultimate goal weight is 70kg, but coz I'm sort of tall that might be slightly too low and bony looking. So I'm initially aiming for 75kg. Once I reach 75kg my plan is to re-evaluate and decide which would be the healthier weight to maintain.
3. My fitness plans for 2012 are:
- Firstly, to get into the habit of logging everything everyday and drinking lots more water
- I got the original Zumba workout DVD set for Christmas and I want to work up to using this five times a week for workouts, plus walking on the two remaining days of the week I don't use the DVDs
- By the end of 2012 I want to be down in the 80s somewhere, preferably right on 80kg. It would be great to lose the last 5kg and reach 75 too!! But for now my goal is 80kg.
4. I will post on my profile about this group to spread the word :happy:0 -

Hi Everyone!
I'm Tamika and I live in VA. The end of 2010 I had lost 35 lbs and needless to say I put about 20 back on and finally I'm focused to really get it together. My goal is to loose 50 lbs for now. Then I'm sure I will set another goal. I love working out on my wii fit. Right now I'm trying out a new diet, so I get on my wii about 3 times week, not too long because I'm on a low calorie diet. I have proven to have willpower before so, 2012 is mines! Looking forward to the support.0 -
