My First Mini-Goal
 

I'm new here today, and toward that end, I'm posting my first mini-goal!

I am shooting for a 10 lb loss, and 100 miles on the stationary bike at the gym by my dd's birthday, which is also Valentine's Day!

How am I going to do this?
WW. Points. Write 'em down, good, bad or ugly!
Gym. Go every week day.
Horses. Work them 2x a week.
Dogs. Walk them at least every other day (they need it too!).
Shopping for Healthy Foods. Make the time to plan and prepare.

:wave:

Glad to join you all!

Good luck!!! Don't forget to stop by 3fc for your daily dose of encouragement, if not for the people here I would have lost interest months ago.

Welcome, LCharvon! You can do this!! We're all rooting for you!

Thanks!...as a newbie, I have to ask:

What's the best way to wade through the MANY posts that happen here every day? I don't want to miss anything, but I don't want to be overwhelmed either! LOL

I definitely need the support! (and I'm willing to be supportive too...)

Welcome, LCharvon!! I think it's so great that you've set a definite goal and you've planned exactly how you're going to meet it. That way you're sure to succeed!

I know all the posts are overwhelming. I figured out in the beginning which forums I was interested in, and I just checked those. I don't read every post in those forums, because I don't have time, but there are a few threads I always participate in. You'll figure out what works for you. This forum is great -- the people here are very supportive. The Exercise forum is good too -- I like posting my workouts in the Exercise Accountability thread. And you should definitely visit the WW forum -- I hang out in the WW at Home section because I do WW but I don't go to meetings. My favorite threads are the ones where we weigh in or post accountability-type things, but I love checking out support threads as well. Sometimes I just browse!

welcome LCharvon! stick to those WW points and you'll do great! all that exercise will make you feel fantastic too! Good luck :)
