Hi all. Here is where we are posting our goals for St. Pat's day. Short term goals can be great, just the ticket for keeping us motivated.

For Valentines day, I set my goal at .5 pounds/week, thinking I couldn't do one pound/week. But I did one pound, so I'm setting my new goal at the one pound/week rate. Since my first weigh in is tomorrow night, I have five weeks and thus, my goal is to lose 5 pounds. After my weigh in, I will most likely set a weekly goal of something I need to work on.

Starting weight - 171.5
St. Pat's Day - 166.5
** 5 weeks to go

Good luck everyone!!

Rabbit

OK Rabbit...this one's going to be a tough one for me...it's not only a St. Pat's countdown, it's a Wedding Day count down!! :eek: I did not meet my Valentine's Day goal, I fell a few pounds short.

My St. Pat's Day/Wedding Day Goal is just to stay sane!! http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//nervous.gif

(For those who don't know, I'm getting married on March 17th!)

Have a great day all!

Good Afternoon All

Well the last one worked pretty well, so I'll go for this one. I have 4 WIs between now and then so I think I'll go for 3 lbs.

St. Pat's Day Goal:
Current: 239.2
Goal: 236.2

Additional Goals:
Journal More
Eat My Fruits and Veggies (I find this hard in the winter)

LBH - I think staying sane the month before your wedding is a good goal :)

Rabbit - Good luck with your goal, I know you can do it :)

Hello all...

Sounds like you are working toward some great goals so far. LBH, I have been married for 4.5 months and I can assure you that "sanity" is a perfect goal for you! But in the end, it will all be worth it...my wedding day was like a fairy tale.

Like Rabbit, I too have 5 weigh ins 'til SPD. Last goal was for 1.25 lbs. per week and I made it, but I am expecting a slow down, now that I am several weeks back into this, so I am going to go with 1 lb. per week. Five pounds by SPD. I am also going to take my measurements this weekend and take them again at SPD.

Ya know, I really love these short goals. It really helps me to keep my focus. Here's to a successful SPD countdown!! :D

Take care all.
Jhawk :cool:

SPD Goal: -5 lbs.

Yeah, more St Pat's Day goal setters!! My first weigh in is tonight. Will let you know how it goes. :)

Good luck all with the goals you have set!

LBH - staying sane definitely sounds like a good goal at this time.

I think I'll go ahead and set my challenge for week one:
1. stay within point range everyday

Make the luck of the Irish be with you all!

Rabbit

Happy Friday, All. :D

This has been a looong week, so I am ultra ready for the weekend. Luckily, it too will be long...Govt. work has its benefits! :)

Rabbit, how was weigh-in last night? I hope no more gas leaks!

I lost 1 lb. this week. I've been trying to curb my snacking and doing really well with it, so I was kind of hoping for more, but I'll take it anyway!

Have a great weekend, all!

Jhawk :cool:

SPD Goal: -5 lbs.
So Far: -1 lb.
To Go: -4 lbs.

Hi all! I lost 1.5 last night at weigh in! :) Since it was a 2 week weigh in though, I've decided to only count half (and then I have to adjust my starting weight and goal also). So here goes:

Starting weight - 170.75
Present - 170
SPD Goal - 165.75

** 4 weeks to go, 4.25 pounds to go**

Jhawk - Congrats on your loss! You're well on your way.

Have a good weekend all.

May the luck of the Irish be with you - Rabbit

How's it going goal-setters?? HOpe you all are hanging in there and doing well on your goals!!

I am op so far, so am hoping for a loss on Thursday. Just wanted to check in with you all.

Rabbit

Hi all :D

Rabbit, glad to hear all is going well. Congrats on the good loss last week! That is very exciting.

I have been struggling since I last wrote. :rolleyes: It was my birthday over the weekend and a long weekend at that and both things contributed to some overeating. Then yesterday was the day from h*ll. And throughout my 16+ hour day, I only managed one decent meal and the rest of them were...well, just terrible and consisted mostly of donuts. :eek: I have managed to work out a couple of times (not today, 5:30 came to early after getting to bed at 1:00) and have done pretty good on my water, but the food...oh my. I just hope I can salvage the week with nothing more than a small gain. I am back on track today. Moving on...

I hope everyone is having a good week. Hang in there...

jhawk :cool:

Happy Wednesday All,

Didn't do to well towards my goals the end of last week and the weekend. :( Nothing healthy was appealing so I went over points most days. This week has started out better though. :o

Went to WW yesterday and I'm down 0.2 lbs. Not great but I'll take it all things considered. :)

Rabbit - You go girl :D. You seem to have so much energy and enthusiasim send some my way will ya. ;)

JHawk - Climbing back on the wagon with you. Good Luck!!!

249.2/239/236.2(St.Pat's)/170ish

Hi all. I've been talking about how well I've been doing, but it doesn't seem to be showing up on the scales yet. I hope it does by tomorrow at weigh in, I love to see that loss. :D

Jhawk - Happy Birthday, belated! We all slip, but the important part is that we pick ourselves up and begin again! :) That's my philosophy, anyway.

Tech - Congrats on your loss! Any old loss is a good one, you know?

Will check in tomorrow night or (probably) Friday morning with my weigh in. I'm nervous. http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//nervous.gif

Rabbit

HI guys. I think I'm going to have a gain tonight - my scales are showing me up a pound. I have points left and have exercised all the time, so the only thing I can figure out is that it must be from the weight training. I really like doing the weight machines and know it is good for me, but am so bummed to see that scale go in the wrong direction. The only thing I think I can do is hang on, keep doing as I am, and hope this reverses itself. I'm just going to HATE coming on here and posting a gain! I know I'm looking short term when I think that way though, so I'm going to keep on keeping on.

Wish me luck!

Rabbit

PS - Thanks for letting me vent!! http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//spinning.gif

As I suspected, I gained one pound at weigh in last night. Hope it won't stay around too long!!

Here's my stats:
Starting weight - 170.75
Present - 171
SPD Goal - 165.75

**3 weeks to go, 5.25 pounds. Whoops! I'm getting scared.

Rabbit

Happy Friday...

Boy am I ready for the weekend. This has been one hideous week. In all ways, and as a perfect end, I gained a pound this morning. I'd be upset if it wasn't so deserved.

Rabbit, sorry about the gain, but boy can I relate.

Everyone else, where are you? Have a great weekend.

:cool:

Hi All :)

Mind if I join-in? I'm doing the WW program here in Arizona. I made Lifetime about a year ago and all was going well until December. Since 12/1 I have gained back about 9 pounds and am .8 away from having to "pay" for the meetings again. :eek:

Anyway, I would really love to join your thread - you all seem so motivated and friendly! I will post my stats tomorrow a.m. along with a St. Pats Day goal.

Thanks a bunch.... Nona :)
