Don't leave... We will love for you to stay and continue on this journey.

I understand how thing can throw off your schedule. Keep at eating good... remodeling can be a form of exercise in its self...lol

Thanks for the ideas and encouragement... Yea last week was a stressful weekend for our family, but all in all we did good considering...

Yesterday was not too good for me. I didn't get a chance to exercise as I wanted to. Well I guess as always have the chance to at home but just didn't. Today is a new goal and it is already starting off better... Looking to eat right and get an hour of activity in today. Keep up the good work on your goals today everyone!!!

I like setting daily goals, because if I do that then they will build upon themself which in turn I will be reaching my weekly goal or monthly goals. Also if I should fail on a daily goal, at least it just one day and I wont be as discourage then if I fail on a monthly goal. You can always reset the goal the next day.…

Good job!!! I just completed 2.30 miles walk/jog in 37 mins and ate pretty good today. Might do a kettle bell workout tonight as well.

Thanks for this post!! I also set goals and rewards as well. Though some are food related (which may need to follow your lead on this one lol). Some rewards is buying clothes (even though probably have to anyway if I meet my goal as current clothes will be to big) or treat myself to my favorite sweet (piece of homemade…

Good points! I like the jar idea.. might give it a try.

Great work setting your goals for today!!! My Goal today is to 35 minutes of cardio and at least 15 minutes of strength training. Drink 8 glasses of water and stay under my calorie threshold. I did met my goal for yesterday!!! Continue to build upon your success. Goal by Sunday is to have workout a total of at 200 mins and…

Good question!!! I would like to see what others think on this as well. Me personally like to see results as that always keep me motivated to keep going, but it usually fades away then I stop all together. What I am trying to do this time around is mixed it up more with a couple of intense/high effort workouts and then may…

Thanks for the options... Yea I have some cashews that I snack on as well.

meccasue, I am glad you are making plan to eat better and exercise. Also it is always good to work out with a friend. They can push you to do more than you want to at times. Great work in deciding to get started again. I have started and stop times before. But guess what. I will keep starting until I get it right and with…

Mello82, Great job on being consistent on working out!! Yea my doctor said eating is the most important aspect in losing weight. I too have that problem myself. Hopefully this group can share ways to eat more efficiently without losing focus. One thing I will definitely eliminate is eating too late or right before bed.…

I am excited about the positive mindsets of starting or continuing a lifestyle change. It is great to see so many individuals wanting to take control over there bodies. Please feel free to start discussions on eating tips, workout routines, or any other helpful ideas that leads to the success of a better you!!!

Great job on the lbs you already lost!! Consistency is an excellent goal to have. Even if we don't meet a goal one day be consistent in that you will still set a goal to eat better and /or workout the next day. I hope the spark is lit for you to continue your success and hopefully the success of others here will continue…

Great Job on the lbs you have already lost!! keep up the good work. Nice example for me to know that losing lbs is not out of reach... Thanks

I also have that problem as well. I try to eat some fruit. Also while at work and I get that hungry feeling I will drink some more water or I chew sum gum to give my that feeling that I am eating something. This is a hard feeling to get over as I battle with it over and over again.

Thank you for joining this group. I can understand that it can be difficult to start. I find it hard to exercise as well alot of times. Two years ago I starting to eat better and exercise often. I did it for about 5 months and lost about 40 pounds. The reason why I was successful then was because I was on a team with my…

That is great to see that you have set a goal for yourself. To me no goal is small as each day you achieve your goal, you will soon enough achieve your ultimate goal. The small goals add up to become a bigger goals. Keep pressing your way and we will be able to succeed together. Sometimes best fuel to keep going is when…

That is great!!! I too will target to stay under my daily calorie threshold!!
