my objectives for this week are:

- cut off diet soda
- cut off or just once a week eat junk food ( i wanna make it at the very least 2 times a month)
-drink lots of water
-cut off any kind of chips and candy
-exercise 7 days a week (or at the very least 5 days a week)

good luck everybody and hopefully we'll stay motivated for the months to come!!! =]

Those are all good goals. If this group works out well, I'd like to create another one -- Fit For Summer which would last Mar 1- ??? (Maybe Jun 1?)

that's a great idea! i would totally sign up for it, and the time length is pretty good as you put it. I hope the group does well and we go girl! ^^

Great goals, all! I'd like to keep better track of my calories, but the site isn't cooperating with me. I'll have to log everything the old fashioned way (pen and paper) until it's working again. If you continue the group after February I will definitely stay involved!
My goals:
~Keep track of calories manually (I think that this will actually force me to pay closer attention to what I'm doing.)
~Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day (I'm including herbal tea in this, as it is the same as long as I don't add anything.)
~Cardio at least 5 days this week, with strength training every morning (sit-ups, push-ups, squats and leg abductions.)
You know? The stuff I should have already been doing? :P

As a side note, have any of you heard of the "Tone It Up!" girls? I found them on YouTube a while ago and subscribed. They have workouts, recipes and tips, and they are so adorable! They posted a workout that I'm going to do in the mornings before work starting tomorrow. If you're curious, check it out: http://youtu.be/kAzr1vDtNQY

Keep it up!!! *^_^*

Work out 6 days this week. Every workout run 1 mile and go at least 45 min on the eliptical. Do at least 200 crunches each workout. (I would love to do even more when I have time! Like lifting too!)

* Drink my weight in water every single day.
* Consume less sodium.
* Challenge myself at the gym.
* Do the 30 Day Shred DVD on weekends. (Because I'm already working out in the gym 5 days a week.)
* Try not to eat past 8 o'clock PM.
* Only weigh myself once a week. (I tend to weigh everyday... which can be discouraging when your weight fluctuates up and down.)
*Log my food and exercise daily.

I would definitely join this group again next month!!!

-not drink when I go out with my boyfriend

Ok - for the first week

- Stay under calories each day (and don't eat exercise calories)
- Abs at least 5 times this week (ugh)
- Drink my water (at least 8 cups a day)

My goals this week are:

1.) Drink more water.

2.) Continue 30DS every day. (tonight will by day 3 of level 1)

3.) Go to next level of C25K. Currently on Week 1.

4.) Stocking house with more fresh fruits. We keep plenty of fresh veggies, but I have noticed since starting to work out more I am craving sweet snacks after supper/work outs and we don't have anything in our house to satisfy that.

5.) Weigh in only once a week, maybe twice to be curious!

6.) Motivate some friends who haven't logged on to MFP for a week.

My goals are to keep the calories within range and keep up the exercise
