I think one of the best advice on here that is often given to people that have a long way to go or are just starting out is to promise yourself to stick with it for one day. And then the next day decide to do it for another day. Before you know it it's months and you are at goal.
I am thinking that sometimes it can be really helpful. I've been having carnival and eating bad and have a really hard time to get back on plan it seems.
So a thread where we can share what our plan for TODAY is and promise to stick to just this one day could be helpful. Ofcourse you could come back here and promise all over again, but you don't have to. I figure it only works if you REALLY mean it for TODAY. So not the big on plan ideas from here to 4 weeks. Just, what's the plan today and why will you stick to it atleast one day?

I'll start: I made a foodplan for the entire day, and given the fact that I've been eating crappy I can't count on my 'what I feel like is good'-gut today. Have to detox first before I can plan it as I go. So today I will stick to my foodplan. No nibbling on other stuff that I see laying around.
Great Idea Philana. Always when I start out my mantra is "one meal at a time, one day at a time".
Today I will eat my 3 meals and 3 snacks no skipping and no overeating (late night snacking ). I will incorporate AT LEAST 5 servings of fruit and veg and will make sure I eat enough protein.
Today I will complete another 30DS session and will do 20mins interval sprints.
Philana, I LOVE this idea! I tried to join a 3-month goal thread, and I ended up posting a total of two times. With my weight loss, I have found that taking it a day at a time is what works because thinking more long term than that intimidates the **** out of me.
Today: I will get in at least 40 min of exercise and avoid the cookies I know are in the kitchen cupboard!
Today, I will eat 200-300 calories over my non-exercise-day calorie goal to make up for the over-500 calorie deficits I racked up Monday (250+) and yesterday (100+) evenings.
I don't want to under-eat my calories too much for fear of stalling out, especially when I'm SO CLOSE to my first checkpoint of 10% of my body fat lost.
I want to play! I have a tough time starting, which is silly because 1700 cals is a lot of cals. Anywho, I've been on track this week and have started using a dry-erase marker to chart morning weights, whether I hit calorie goals, and my 4 cardio sessions/3 weight training sessions. I did my back/bi's and did three mile run this morning. I will stay within calorie confines today. We can all do it.
