hey, all you of a vampish (or wolfish) persuasion! i just thought it would be cool to have a thread running for any personal goals you have for the month that are not in the february challenge.

here's mine:

at least 10 cups of water per day - preferably 12.
*stop* eating crap because the scale won't move - that certainly doesn't help matters!
run a 5k three times per week and shave off 30 seconds by the end of the month.
log my food everyday - i need to up my accountability.
edited to add: WIN THE TWILIGHT BOOTY PRIZE! BRING IT, PEOPLE!

what say you?

    Cool, I'm in........ (on a side note, ,y FB group is having a 300 glasses of water challenge for Feb. ;-) )

    I want 300 glasses of water :-P
    I want to (for the entire month) be over my sugar by no more than 150grams.
    I want to hit my next mini goal of 161 (I am currently at 165.4)

    On another note. I plateaued for 3 months, began actively tracking sugar 1/17 and have lost 5 pounds!!!!!!! Soooooooo, the sugar tracking thing is VITAL to reaching the 161 goal LOL

    My Feb goals:

    -stick to my plan (weight loss & food goals) despite my husband's return, to include home/restaurants
    -80 to 120 oz of water per day
    -Continue Couch to 5 K training
    -Attend my very first 5K on the 25th (to walk/run) and hopefully bring my husband, son, and dog
    -Log in to MFP every day

    -I'd really like to lose 14 pounds this month! Average 3.5 lbs/week *(yes I know it's a high goal for MFP standards)
    Weight on Feb 1: 266.6, so my target is 252.6 on 2/29. *crossing my fingers*

    My personal goals are:
    - Log my food at least 80% of the time
    - Drink 2L water everyday
    - Exercise at least 4 times a week (cardio)
    - 2 toning sessions a week....
    - Break the plateau I have been on for over 2 months,...and maybe lose 5-6 lbs over the month. Totally realistic.

    If I can get over this sinus infection and my work schedule lets up like it's supposed to, I hope to meet these February goals:


    1) Exercise 3 times per week for at least 30 minutes

    2) Lay off the crappy carb heavy take-out dinners

    3) Get more sleep. I'm averaging 6 hrs per night max and it's just not enough.


    I want to lose 5 lbs this month which would put me at 186. Mostly I want to get out of the 190s....I've been in them since Thanksgiving.

    The challenges I have for February are:

    :smokin: Quit living in the 60's--- the 160's that is.
    Want to see that number move on the scale, even if it is 159.999 when the month of February is over.

    :love: Walking in a Trail 5K on February 4th.
    I've been on a roll, my very first was in November and I've walked in one each month since then. This will be the first time on a trail instead of paved streets. Not trying to beat any specific time, this will be more challenging in my opinion. (Hoping the rain coming in doesn't ruin it or get it cancelled)

    :smooched: Trying to find a 5K for March.
    I've got the bug, and I want to do one each month if at all possible. Avoiding the huge St. Patty's day event, I don't like huge crowds.:grumble:

    :blushing: Using weights. I am good about getting out and walking, but not good about strength training. I know that is important. When the weather fails me, I'll be more inclined to stay inside and git-r-dun.

    Exercise regularly again - at least 20 minutes 4 times a week.
    Get back up to 8 glasses of water a day!
    Get comfortable in a size 12P pants. They fit, but they're still a little snug on me for my liking (though my BFF tells me they fit just fine and I'm not used to wearing clothes that fit right).

    Go back to square one and start with just one basic sacrifice...anything with sugar and refined breads and cereals. For now, whole grains allowed.
    My son lost 30 lbs in about 4 months by only eliminating sugar and carbs....ate only meat, vegetables and very limited fruit. Didn't cut out any fat at all...bacon and eggs for breakfast (I wouldn't recommend daily). Sugar is the killer.

    How did everyone do? Although I did lose some weight in Feb, I didn't make my goal. Hoping for a better March!

    1... Check, I didn't log a few days, but I drink sooooo much (usually 14+)
    2.... FAIL!!!!! Horribly Miserably FAIL!!!!!!!!!! 392 over!
    3..... Sigh!.... Kinda fell off the sugar tracking wagon due to my BIL's b-day. Just clawed my way back on last week.... I didn't reach the 161, but I did lose a little itty bitty bit! 0.6 pounds.... Stupid sugar!
