wisher · 08-02-2007, 09:19 AM

Lets here 'em! What are your goals for August??

My scale goal is to lose 7 lbs. to get down to 183...more would be fine of course!

My exercise goal is to continue running and hiking, I'm shooting for 4-5 days a week and to cut 5-7 minutes off my 3 mile time (shooting for that 5K!)

My food goals are to just continue on what I'm doing, I'm happy with my eating habits right now!

my goal is basicaly to reach my ticker and try to do a workout video 4 times a week and go swimming once a week. and my food is fine just trying to keep my calorie intake under 1200 and my fat intake as low as possible (coz the more fat i eat the more to loose!) and if i do reach my ticker then i will be very very happy and hopefull i wouldve started a new goal for september!

I want to continue my healthful eating and loose 3 pounds.

I have been parking my car far, far away from everything and walking. I want to continue that and start some other mild form of exercise.

*Continue my abstinence, and I should hit 165 days by the end of the month.

*I don't weigh again until at least the 18th, but I'm working with the goal of being under 250 at that point in mind.

After the 18th I probably won't get on the scale until mid-September.

*50 miles/week (minimum) on my bike. I'm also working on getting my 5-mile time down. I'd like to be under 20 minutes by the end of the month.

For August.....

Drop 5 pounds (that would put me at 146)
Excersize at least 5 times a week (4 classes and one day of walk/jogging)
Continue to eat healthy, keeping calories at about 1200 most days.

I am hoping i will drop at least an inch in the waist and bust but we'll see. I have this great red sundress with white polka dots i used to wear but at the moment, i can't get it zipped up over my rib cage and boobs!!!

I'd REALLY like to say goodbye to the 150's this month ,but if I can't do that, I'd like to get down to 154 or 155 so that I'm no longer overweight.

I only need to lose 1-2 inches off my waist now to fit SOME of my thin (though they were kind of big on me when I was thin) clothes. Fitting at least one pair of fat-thin pants would be nice!

My goal is to lose 8 pounds this month- from 143 to 135 would be nice. It might be difficult as I get a week off starting tomorrow afternoon. But I'm going to workout as much as possible and try my best to keep on track (damn bbq's!)

I don't want to change what I've been doing, because I've been eating clean (1200 cals/day, no refined carbs) and exercising at least 5 x/week. BUT, my goal and challenge will be to keep this up through 1) our cross-country move, 2) a subsequent 4-day conference, and 3) the 10 gazillion meetings (many with snacks provided) that mark the beginning of the academic year.

Losing some fat would be nice too, but I see that as a bonus.

I want to reach my Sept. 1st goal of 180, and I'd like to have gone to the gym 5x/week.

cakses · 08-02-2007, 11:49 AM

I would like to be as close to 200 as possible. I would also love to lose 1-3 inches off my waist, but honestly any measurements moving down from what it is now will satisfy me.

My goal for this month.. hmm..
Well, I'm just starting any goals in general, so..
I'd like to lose 8 pounds. Is that a reasonable monthly goal? Should I push for more?
Along with that, I'd like to actually start working out a bit, and prepare more meals for myself rather than going with frozen dinners.
Also.. to try to convince myself to eat more

more and less items such as

- Reach the 160s before August 13th.
- Exercise as much as I can before the 14th.
- Maintain my weight when I'm in Europe for the rest of the month.

My August goals are:
- to kiss 200 goodbye forever and lose 8lbs.
- at least 1000minutes of exercise.
- breakfast (incl multivitamin) daily.

I want this to be a GOOD month. Big progress, I hope.
