WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR SEPTEMBER

Hi Everyone,

Jam0525 and kcwriter, see the last page of the August thread for answers to your questions.

I am too tired to talk about goals tonight, its sleepytime:yawn:

Barb

Hi -I did very well in August. Lost more than 1 lb per week. I also lost an inch off my waist. Hoping to lose another 5 pounds this month. And if I work really hard, I hope to be at my goal weight by Christmas. I'm getting used to the healthy eating regime. Cravings aren't there much anymore. It's almost 7:00 a.m here and I'm off to meet my trainer. Have a great day everyone and good luck with your weight loss goals.

Morning

Just tagging so I can find later

I did well with my August goals :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

*drink all my water

---

yes, even if I had to drink 24 ounces in the last 10 minutes before getting into bed :laugh: :laugh:

*walk 14,000 steps a day

---

I averaged that because of some days with long walks where I walked 20.000 + but ended up walking 14,000 steps 25 days out of 31 :bigsmile:

*lose 4 pounds

I lost 5 pounds. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

*use my hand weights for 5 minutes a day

It's a new month and we can make new plans and aim for the best for ourselves:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

My goals for September will be:

I just lost 1 pound in August and I am glad of it considering how stressfull everything has been.

For Septemer my goals are to:
focus on really trying to drink water every day.
Excercise at least 5 days out of 7 at home
Walk 3-4 days at work.
Be accurrate on reporting what I eat

If I do those things, I should loose 4 pounds this month.

Everyone (in the states) get ready for our long holiday weekend! Prepare now for good choices.

My goals for August were not met. I had goal of 10 pounds and lost 5. I ate well and drank my water. I did exercise but slacked off towards the end of month.
Today is the first day of Sept and I started out great. I spent 80 minutes at gym burning 1000 calories and so far ate great.
My September goals are to lose 8 pounds, to bump up my workouts a little and find some new healthy foods to try. Also I need to get back to planning my meals. This helped me a lot and I have not been doing this lately. I look forward to another great month sharing with you wonderful ladies. Glad to see new people or maybe old people I just did not know.

Considering the age of the title of this thread, aren't we all "old people"?:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Somedays I feel older than other days. :bigsmile:

I will try to post my goals tonight. No time now.

Welcome aboard ChurchLady! All it takes is making up your mind to do it and you will, with the help of God. (I thought I could say that because of your name):laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
But seriously it works.
I have a daughter born on March 24th and 4 grandchildren. I love it!! They are precious!
Good luck! Decide what you're going to eat before you have a meal and try to only get weighed once a week. It may be more encouraging that way:flowerforyou:

My goals for September are to ride my bike 25 miles a week, exercise using WATP and use my hand weights to firm up my arms, at least 4 days a week, keep drinking at least 4 16oz bottles of water a day and to lose at least 4 pounds. :smokin: To all our new friends, I welcome you. I have been tagging along for 3 months and have loved every minute of it.:happy:

Tomorrow is a special day at work . We are having an "End of Summer" luncheon. Stuffed Tillapia, Steamed Brocolli w/cheese sauce, Roasted baby red potatoes and Tropical fruit for desert. THE PLAN IS TO EAT HALF FOR LUNCH AND SAVE THE REST FOR DINNER. ( that's the plan) :blushing:

Hi and Happy September:flowerforyou:

Warmest wishes to the newest members. This is a wonderful site and particularly the fantastic women on here have been so very kind and supportive.

It pleases me that I more than accomplished my August goals that consisted of

:ohwell: having my MRI on my one knee and got the diagnosis of torn cartilage
:smokin: exercised in a modified version.
:blushing: got back on track entering my food consumed
:bigsmile: shed another 4 lbs
:drinker: consumed at least 8-10 glasses of water per day
:laugh: definitely laughed more

Since I will be travelling for the month of September my goals are to make good choices concerning food and exercise. The scale, exercise DVD's, workout clothes, 10 lb hand weights, resistance bands and healthy snacks are travelling with me to ensure a no-fail environment:bigsmile: Hopefully I will be able to keep in contact with everyone when we have internet access.

Best of luck to everyone:flowerforyou:
