Heya, thought I'd repost goals in the Group Discussion Board:

(1) I won't weigh-in until February 6th to see the overall progress and focus less on the scale
(2) I will treadmill 3 times a week, rowing machine 2 days a week and do a workout video 2 days a week
(3) I will eliminate alcohol from my diet other than Saturday evenings (Saturday will be my allowed high cal day)
(4) I will stay within calories every day and log religiously (luckily I do this one already so it should be easy to stay on)
(5) I will finish my afghan by crocheting in front of the tv at night instead of snacking in front of the tv! (this'll be hard, I LOVE snacking)
(6) I will try to eat more snacks during the day and have a smaller dinner (portion size portion size portion size)

    My goals are:

    1)To replace 2 cups of tea at work with at least two glasses of water and drink at least 4 glasses of water.

    2)To go and ride my loan horse on a Saturday and Sunday (which means getting up early on a Saturday)

    3)To go for a walk at lunch time twice a week or Swim early morning twice a week

    4)Log everything I eat and drink, even if it means going over my allowance.

    Mine will be to:

    1) lay off the sweets! although I may treat myself to one small treat at the end of the day (If I have enough calories for it) They say if you deprive yourself entirely of sweets, and you love sweets, then when you 'mess up' you feel bad and just binge. But if you have one small portion once a day then you wont over indulge.

    2) Another one will be to exercise everyday (even though I have sprained my ankle I can still walk very slowly Lol)

    3)A second is to get my 8+ cups of recommended water a day. Although water is all I drink and occasionally Orange Juice or Green tea, I still sometime don't get the recommended 8 cups of it which is essential for weight loss.

    4)Also I will be tracking what I eat and when I exercise. And I will also watch my portions and make it a habit to portion out everything I eat.

    5) Lastly I will start weighing myself every week instead of everyday or every other day.

    2) Log EVERYTHING I eat each day
    3) Remain under my calorie goal each day (even if that means adding another exercise session)
    4) Weigh every Sunday (instead of every day)

    Hi

    I just joined this group today. I need to set some attainable goals and get my weight back on track.

    My goals are as follows
    1. Track all foods I eat / drink every day
    2. Drink 8 glasses of water
    3. Limit my diet soda intake to 12 - 20 oz per day (this one will be hard I am a soda junky)
    4. Walk 30 minutes at least 3 times per week

    I think that is enough for 21 days. Let's hope we can all reach our goals and change our lives one day at a time :)

    Here are mine:

    1. Track everything I eat daily

    2. Exercise every day..even if its a short walk or nice stretching session

    3. Avoid the scale unless its my weigh in day (Monday)

    4. Eat out no more than 3 times during the challenge (once per week)

    Some of these are harder than I thought they would be... I might have to hide the scale

    3. Track everything I eat (which I'm already doing, thanks to the myfitnesspal app!)
    4. Limit soda to 1 every other day.
