I copy catted this from the Maintainers forum (sorry Megster ) I thought is was a good idea...
I am going to sticky the thread and I'd like to come back to it in a couple of months and see if us Feathers have done progress to our "Goals, Hopes, Dreams and Plans"
So I'll go first I guess .....
Goals:
Reach 135
Stay at 135
Be at a comfortable bathing suit weight by March, hopefully that'll be at 135
Stop using my credit card so much, I always pay it off every month, but I spend way too much on it.
Before spending or eating ask myself if it is a "need or a want", and go from there...
Plan:
Exercise with more intensity
Eat every 3-4 hours a portion of protein and carb
Run -- 3x/week
Weight train -- 3x/week
Swim -- once/week
Yoga -- 2-3x/week
Not go into stores with temptations of buying unnecessary "stuff"
Hopes:
I will be more available to my 3FC family, I've been neglecting the my friends here in the last year
That my job goes back to full-time, but part-time is fine too, I'll have more time for my friends here
Dream:
Measurements of 34-24-34 .... Hey it's the DREAM section, at 52 I CAN still dream
Well, I posted on the maintaners thread, but since I need to lose, I'll copy here:
Hopes, Dreams, Plans, Resolutions, Goals (that's a mouthful!)
I want to finally make it to my goal weight and stay there
I plan on continuing my morning treadmill workouts (which I follow with some ab work and push ups), I hope to increase my 30 minutes to 45 minutes each morning
I dream of sitting down and not having "tummy rolls"
I dream of losing my bra fat, but that may not happen on its own
I know that the BEST way for me to achieve my weight goal is to plan my daily meals with calorie counts so I can keep the calories below 1400. I've done it in the past, so there's no reason why I can't do it again.
I've not been on in a while and have fallen off the bandwagon somewhat! What a great time to hop back on though.
Anyway,
I'm currently around 125lbs, at 5"3.
Goals:
- Lose 10-15lbs (see how ten looks! I've been at both before, but it really depends how fit and toned I am)
- Get fit again
- Run a 10k.
Resolutions:
- Stick to the goals I set!
- Keep my gym routine up
- Eat better!
Plan:
2 x Half hour sessions with PT a week for 8 week challenge!
CSIRO healthy heart eating plan (ish! I have to keep it a bit flexible or I'll give up!)
40 mins exercise (even just a walk) every day
Dreams:
- Be the fittest I have ever been
- Be fit enough to run the Brisbane half-marathon in the midyear
- Be completely comfortable in a bikini by 2010
- Be strong and slim all at once!
- Have abs that make other girls jealous!
Seeing my PT on Monday for my measurements for starting an eight week challenge with him... I am nervous but really excited.
Kia kaha ladies and gents!

Goals:
*140lbs
*Healthy Cholesterol levels
*Go to a dentist
*Go to the lady-doctor
*Kick butt in my job
*Get on a medication maintenance schedule (no more pharmacy trips!)
*Stop smoking once and for all!
Hopes:
*Get a raise (more than the annual 2%)
*Get happy, one way or another
*Feel comfortable in a bikini again!
Dreams:
*A New Car (and be able to afford the insurance!!) - maybe an Audi? Or at least a new VW?
*130lbs
*A bigger apartment (two bedrooms so I can have a room with a pool table!)
Plans:
*Incorporate regular exercise into my full-time lifestyle - and keep it up this time - at 3 times a week, 20-30 minutes each (I don't need a whole lot, just enough to stay active at this point).
*Figure out how to eat three squares a day without blowing up
*Get ambitious in my job and make a difference in the breakfast bread business (my industry)
*Keep a clean and nice apartment so I can have guests without freaking out
They're not all weight-related, but many of them tie in together (okay, maybe not the new car). I feel happier when my apartment is clean, and when my medication is working, which leads to more motivation to keep on the weight-loss/maintenance track. And a raise would probably help me stress less about bills and such, especially medical bills.

Hey, I just noticed this section! I started my 2009 for real almost halfway through the year, but here's what it amounts to.
Goal: To really establish truly healthy habits - eating, exercise, meditation (still playing around with that one).
Diet=calorie-counting and a whole-foods, mostly vegetarian diet.
Exercise=a MINIMUM total of 3.5 hours/week cardio and 1 hour/week strength training.
To get back up to running ~3 miles at a time, preferably in ~30 min.
To set aside time to meditate, to relax and not worry about all the stuff I can't control anyway.
Hopes: That my goals will actually become habits, and will have some positive effects on my body.
That these habits will become my norm and I won't fall off the wagon every single time I am out of my routine.
To lose my newly-acquired gigantic unhealthy (33") belly!!
Even though I am trying not to focus on losing weight, I really, really HOPE that I can lose some.
Dream: That these habits will actually get me back to where I was a few years ago before the mid-30s hormonal changes kicked in.
Endurance (actually, I'd love to be much BETTER in that arena)
Clothing size. I want to fit into my boxes and boxes of too-small clothes!
My flat belly back
Weight back in the 120s.
Plan:
To actually plan out meals, shopping, exercise schedule, etc. ESPECIALLY when away from home.
To use FitDay to track every single thing I eat to the best of my ability.
To use the gym for body pump classes (strength training + cardio step), jogging/walking for 30+ minutes at a time, yoga, Zumba. Would like to take a belly dance class if I can find one!
To find access to gym classes wherever I am - that seems to work best for me.
To use the 30-Day Shred or my yoga CD when I have no time for or access to anything else.
To do Couch-to-5K in the fall. (I am hoping to be less heavy by then!)
To check in with 3FC regularly and join exercise challenges to help keep motivated.
To reach my final weight of 145-150 and then maintain.
To Run over 500 miles this year
Hope:
To be able to wear a 6
Run two half marathons
To be able to take classes
To be able to shop in any store
To keep my home in order inside and out
Plan:
Stick with WW's
To continue running and incorporate some strength training
To start classes for my BA in English Lit
Plan to go on a shopping spree
Work on a section of my home 4-5 X's/week
Dreams:
To reach goal weight and be able to wear bikini
To wear a size 4
To have a 24-26" waist :ROFL:
Goals:
To be 115 lbs
To run 1 hr a day everyday
To have a wardrobe that suits me and makes me feel fabulous!
Get those coffee stains off my teeth
Hopes:

Keep walking 1 hr a day every day then work up to jogging.

Eat more ** yes I dont consume enough calories but, not purposely.
Drink more water and give up soda.
Dreams:

Hopes:

To be as kind and gracious as those who have inspired me so much
Plans:
To improve my choices and actions so that I have fewer external needs and more inner peace, resulting in weighing less, having fewer belongings, and more personal freedom. This includes more attention to: keeping the food log, putting as much effort inside the house as in gardening, giving away and selling some things, creating and loving beauty each day.
Dreams:
To see thousands of fireflies all at one time again and other such magnificent sights....
