My goal is to stick with my 1/2 marathon training schedule. I can send you the schedule if you'd like. Essentially though, what I have to do is 7 work-outs each week. I have 3 sessions that are walk/run days. The mileage of these sessions varies over time. I also have 2 sessions that are either strength training or cross training (these sessions are to be 40 minutes minimum) and 2 sessions that are yoga (again at a 40 minute minimum).
I'm not sure what your goal is, but let me know. I intend to treat myself to a pedicure once you've completed it!
Ok I didn't want to have a# goal but it is difficult to make it measureable if not so I will throw one in there.
I too will set a goals at 10 lbs down because that will move me into another decade.
I will do this by:
1. Chocolate 1x/week IF absolutely neccessary otherwise stay away.
2. Water, Water, Water
3. Work out 3-4x/wk
4. Be honest with Journaling and not to go over flex points.
5. Checking in with Jess and Angie.
Belle, I got some ideas from you! Thanks!
My reward will be Professional Hair Coloring. I am usually cheap and do it myself BUT if Angie and Jess hit their goals I will spend the big bucks. I cannot wait
1. I would like to be 5 lbs less than my starting weight by Jan 1, which means that (if the most current 6.6 lb gain WI is correct), I need to lose 13.2 lbs and that my weight would be 176.8.
2. I'll also do some form of exercise at least 4 times a week, except during the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas (which will only be 3 times a week).
3. Also, during the Holidays, I will snack a little, but will not allow myself free reign except on Thanksgiving Eve, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.
When Becky and Angie reach their goals, I am going to take a couple of days off work. Sleeping in will be a real treat.
I think that my goal will be to eat 5 daily servings of fruits/veggies and 2 daily servings of calcium or supplements.
I am going to have to figure out some kind of chart or sticker system (hey I'm a Kindergarten teacher -- I do well at sticker systems) to track my progress here. Laura, you are SO getting a pedicure baby!
And when Laura finishes her training schedule for the half-marathon, I am SO having a day at the spa -- manicure, pedicure, massage, facial, the WORKS baby!!!

Kier et al - since we are posting small successes - I was completely OP, all my fruits/veg, all my water, all my milks, and no flexpoints yestereday!! OMG!! I haven't done much exersize though, but that is due to the cough...still - I haven't been that motivated to be OP in MONTHS!
Yay New Year's Challenge!! You WILL have your day at the Spa Kier.....
Belle--Yay for you!! Baby steps, sugar, baby steps!! One day like yesterday can add up to two, to three, to a month, to a year!! Good job, kiddo! (OK, I know I'm not your partner, but we can all cheer for each other, right?)
Okay - my goal is to be 5 pounds down from today. I'm scared to make it any more than that, because it is a holiday season, and I'm moving more towards maintaining anyway.
I weighed in this morning at 158, if I am 153 on New Year's Day, I have made goal!
The way I will do this is:
1 - Planning out my meals ahead of time.
2 - Exercising 4 times/week at least.
3 - Checking in on this board as much as possible!
When Jess & Becky make their goals, I can go on a shopping spree at Victoria's Secret ... everything I have is department store - it'd be fun to have some good bras!
We can do this girls!
.... And now I have to go update my signature to match all the Halloween candy episodes I had... Depressing.
Belle, was yesterday another good day for you, too? I sure hope so!
I ate my 24 points, earned 4 activity points for an hour-long walk, had all my fruits and veggies, all my milks and all my waters.
For some reason, I was very hungry yesterday, so I used a couple of Flex Points late in the evening. I usually pig out after WI as a celebration, but I didn't last night, so I'm feeling good!!
The New Year's Challenge
I cannot wait 
Patting Myself On The Back
and avoid chocolate!
