I'm a teacher and I have the next 2 months off. I don't want to waste them!
So I thought I'd write down some goals to challenge myself. I hope you guys will join me and post some goals too!
1) stay on program (WW)
2) go to the gym 4 times a week
3) clean my house really well!
4) brush up on my sign language and Spanish (I teach special education in a predominately Hispanic school)
5) get down to a solid size 12 (I'm a pretty snug 14)
6) save money for my next graduate class

I'm in a similar boat! I'm an instructor and have the first summer session off and am only teaching one class in the second session. So I'm having a Biggest Loser summer.

My goals:

1) Read NROLW and start lifting (Done!)
2) Turn my junk room into a workout room (In progress)
3) Clean my house! (We'll see)
4) Go to at least one yoga class a week (So far, so good)
5) Stay on my nutritional plan (Going great)
6) Go down at least one size by the beginning of fall semester

Great thread, and great goals!

Let's see...

1. Lose at least eight more lbs by the end of the summer.
2. Try to fit in a comfortable size 8, and stay there. (8/10 now)
3. C25K x3/week
4. Build a gradual tan
5. Get a JOB! SAVE MONEY!
6. Stay on plan - write down all foods.
7. Clothing shopping for next fall. Girlier stuff, as to not hide behind my clothing anymore.
8. Join Curves, by next week, and actually GO.

- Keep doing what I'm doing and continue to lose weight
- Start adding Pilates to my workout routine
- Do well in my two summer classes starting in July
- After I get my stimulus and refund check (they're not sending mine til July =_=).. I HAVE to save it up for next semester.. cannot spend it
- Buy cute clothes from the money my mom pays me to work for her occasionally
- Get a pedicure so I can feel comfy walking around in sandals and maaybe a manicure (haven't had either)
- Get comfortable with wearing heels
- Learn some sewing from my mom
- Make at least two pillow cases for next semester

Love this thread!

My goals:
1. Continue my workouts 6 days a week
2. Lose at least 5 lbs. a month
3. Enjoy the journey
4. Stay op (calorie counting)
5. Organize my house!!! (we'll see about that one!)
6. Stay active besides working out! I have a new puppy, so that's not that tough to do anymore!

oooh, I have a new goal.
I'll only have 1 can of sprite a week. I usually have one a day.

Only one for me too. Get back to walking to work. I stopped for a while because there was so much going on around me, I needed the car to run various errands during the day. I sort of got into the habit of driving to work - after five years of walking. Not Good. Must walk.........

Toward that end ... everyone of you is welcome to join us in the weekly thread!
