Giving up my home scale and NOT buying another one! I've been getting carried away, weighing myself up to 5 times a day. I think that is one of the reasons I haven't made it to goal and gained weight back.

At one point I'd lost 115lbs and was a few pounds away from goal but then I started weighing myself 2 times a day to see how close I was. I'd get frustrated when I didn't see a loss so I started binge eating because I thought it was useless to try anymore.

I think giving it up for 2012 will be like having a fresh start!

Anyone else making a NYR?

Good for you!

Hmmm I think it would be to run more. I was running every 2 days last summer and fell, but since winter came along... I'm a bit more lazy.

So I'd go with that, and starting weight training

My resolution is to be kinder to myself. I am hard on myself and beat myself up for not doing better,or more, or not having discipline. Which I believe holds me back from my goals.

For me I learned years ago not to have a new years resolution, it only set me up for failure. Instead I set mini goals of no more than 1 or 2 months out. That way I can use the "SMART" statement:

S Specific about what is to be accomplished.
M Measurable in terms of how do you know if the goal has been achieved.
A Attainable in terms that the goal is both realistic and achievable.
R Results oriented or targeted to achieve a clear outcome.
T Time line is set and steps to goal attainment are clear

So right now I am doing the ww challenge and set a goal of losing 10lb by the end of the 10 or is it 12 weeks can't remember now

I use this a lot in other areas of my life too seems to keep me on track just like my food journal
